Check out this cool DIY on making your own subwoofer. I tried this before using some wood and plexiglass and it’s real fun once you hear the sub workin’

So I began to wonder if I couldn’t make something half decent myself. Ordinarily I wouldn’t attempt to build a loudspeaker; it’s notoriously difficult to work out the optimal dimensions of the cabinet; in addition sound woodworking and construction skills are required. However, a sub-woofer is somewhat different. First, there will typically be only one driver unit in the cabinet, so the design does not have to be a compromise between the needs of the multiple drivers. Second, the sub-woofer will be driven by its own amplifier and cross-over unit. This means the electronics can compensate, to a degree, for imperfections in the design, and we don’t have to implement a passive crossover (great big coils and what-nots).

• 5 Strange Japanese Robots from Hacked Gadgets - these are really cool robots!
• Vintage Washing Robot - Hmmm… I wonder if this robot actually works…
• CommunistRobot - These guys have a collection of really cool robots around the world.
• Astroboy from Hirosh Araki - I think this robot is based on the cartoon. Way too cool… Popular in Asia. My ex-girlfriend wanted one of these Astroboy T-shirt (which was like $150), and I didn’t get her one so she dumped me ‘caz of it)
• Aldebaran Robotic - These guys have some really cool Linux based robots, nice!

Check out the 24mm cubic box mp3 which is supposedly the smallest MP3 player ever?!?

Never before has such a big sound come from such a tiny device! And when we say tiny, we really mean tiny. We are not just talking about palm-sized. We are talking about finger-sized. But size is not a sacrifice for quality and performance. You get the same level quality of sound than the top MP3 players on the market that are typically 10x larger and 3x more expensive.

We’ve seen this before, a bike light, but this guy makes it for his motorcycle! Cool…

Here’s a really cool project using RFID to simulate a door lock or identification system of some sort.

The design is fairly straight forward, a custom circuit board links the BASIC Stamp to the RFID reader, and is powered by 12v. When a valid card is recognised, it provides 12v output to a door strike, and buzzer for 3 seconds. When an invalid card is recognised, it pulses 12v to a buzzer only for 250 milliseconds 3 times in a row (see below for video demo). It also features a trigger input which when connected to ground will simulate a valid tag bring presented to the reader (this is used to “buzz” open the door from a remote location).

Cool, here’s a phone that pops up sorta like a banana. This is great idea. Maybe all cellphones in the future will become more and more rounder…

Cool a can, bottle, or wine in 1 minute! Wow, this is freakin’ great for beers.  This thing is 90 times faster than your fridge and 45 times faster than your freezer at cooling your beverages.

Patented process chills by rotating the beverage while simultaneously spraying it with ice water. Will chill a 12 oz beverage can from 77 degrees to 43 degrees in about 1 minute. The process does not alter any beverage property like taste, composition, or cause carbonated beverages to fizz over of explode upon opening
