Here’s a fun DIY on how to make a bacon princess tiara out of bacon.  Now, can we eat this after we make it?

It’s not as simple as it looks so be prepared to dig into this if you want one for yourself.

You are going to be working with an enzyme that bonds protein. You are made of protein. Unless you want to glue your lungs together or glue your eyelids to your eyeballs, you absolutely must follow these safety rules. We cannot be held accountable for any mishaps you might have while working with transglutaminase.

DIY Movie Hack - How to Make a Portable Movie Rail System!

Posted in A+Featured DIYs, Consumer, Cool, Design, Digital Cameras, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, HOWTO, Hack, Projects, Video by max on the September 25th, 2008 at 4:15 pm

Do you ever wonder how to make a Portable Movie Rail System for making your own homemade professional movies?

Well, now you can hack one of these cool portable movie rail systems yourself by following some of these pics which are pretty easy to understand.

We often  see chase
scene movements in film. This picture needs to be rather stable.

Professional rail system is heavy, and expensive to use. We find it hard to carry around
and use.
What we need is a low cost, lightweight and portable rail system.

On one weekend, my colleague Murdoch has done some research online. He
found that low-cost DIY rail system is very doable. And use only common materials at we see every day.

HTC T-Mobile G1 Features Video

Here’s another video of T-Mobile G1.  I do like the phone but I still have some doubts about the slow T-mobile network.  If I can recall right, the last time I test T-Mobile, it was as slow as AT&T.

I’d wait until a similar phone is available on Sprint or Verizon, I am not sure if I can handle this, iPhone and G1 on the most crappiest networks in America, darn.  There’s goes another couple hundred bucks in my piggy bank, instead of to greedy telecommunication companies.

Here’s a video of the new Mobile GoogleMaps version 2.3.1 with StreetView on my Blackberry 8830.  Above is me spying on Google’s San Francisco headquarter on 345 Spear Street.

Anyways, the new mobile GoogleMaps is pretty darn slow but I ain’t complaining since I am sure they will make it faster in the upcoming versions.

Google has just launched its new Mobile GoogleMaps that includes Street View.  Now you can see the street view on your Blackberry or PDA just like the destop version.

Today we’re launching a new version of Google Maps for mobile with the same street-level imagery available on desktop. Wondering if the restaurant in your search results is the one you’re thinking of? Just click “Street View” after your search to see the storefront. Unsure about a complicated intersection in your directions? Use Street View to see a photo, so there’s no mistaking your turn. You can also launch Street View from any address where we have photography, or simply by clicking on the map and selecting “Street View”. You can browse Street View overlaid on the map or in full screen, rotate your view to see more of your surroundings, and move along the street.

Here’s a great one for you Arduino-geeks, a robot with Arduino controls and CMUCam for sight.

This is my first CMUcam + Arduino version, the code for which will be uploaded soon. As you can see below, it is a bit of a rush-job, caused by the blowing-up of my proper h-bridge, and its replacement with a single power-transistor (click for big version).
