Check out the wearable LED light you can make!

The Wearable Light kit is a leather cuff with LEDs embedded inside. The Velcro functions as a switch so the bracelet only illuminates when it is in active use. It is a kit designed as an investigative tool to gain insight into DIY culture. Marrying sewing techniques with electronics, a new aestheticized vernacular for constructing simple circuitry is developed. The kits were deployed to crafters in the U.S., Canada and UK.

Check out these awesome Hornet Gyros if you haven’t yet. This would be cool to make and fly it around your pad!  You can start with these mini-kits first and then maybe move on to the real thang!

The Hornet Autogyro is 2-stroke powered, recreational, sport gyroplane. It was designed from the beginning to be an ultralight, meaning, that you do not need a license to fly it. However, in the interest of safety (and your own neck), flight instruction is mandatory. The 140+ page documentation package that is available from this site is free for download.

Let’s go make a MACpack, or a backpack made with an old MAC. If you are really into MACs, you really need one of these…

Finally after nearly a year of working, i have finished my masterpiece; I have racked up more geek points by creating a backpack from an old macintosh SE computer c. 1988. I know everyone is saying either A.) why did you destroy a perfectly good macintosh? Or B.) Why didn’t you spend that time making floppy disk plate mail like you promised? Well to be truthful/ in my defense, The mac was dead and I tried all I could to find the necessary system software, and I didn’t want plate mail armor, however geeky, as much as I wanted this. Let’s move on to the actual instructions:

Here’s a cool little DIY on how to trim that nasty cable TV coaxial cable that seems to stick out in your living room.

Coax Cables are one of the main culprits causing a mess behind our televisions. The cable guy often doesn’t think about the fact that we don’t need the lengthy cables he leaves behind. In our case, we had monster cables behind our TV and were determined to shrink them rather than control them…

Check out this video of the fish tank doubling as a fryer. Maybe the fish will be smart enough to not go over the water into the hot oil… I don’t mind the video but the food cooked in that environment just doesn’t seem too tasty…

See, you have this aquarium with real live fish, and then, sitting right on top, is piping hot oil (163 Celsius) that is actually used to cook food. Since the water and the oil don’t mix, all the fish have to do to stay alive is not venture into the hot oil on top. What’s more, fallen crumbs from the frying process fall into this aquarium, serving as fish food.

Here’s a cool DIY I stumbled onto today that shows you how to setup a custom firewall using iptables. This might not be for those of you who already have a GUI server management system but it’s good to know just in case your GUI goes down…

After getting some problems with firestarter i decided to get knowledge about iptables and how to set my own firewall script and want to share this experience for users who want to set a custom firewall up quickly.
The purpose of this guide is to provide a basic knowledge about iptables and then help to create a firewall script.
The final step will be to make the script running on each boot.
