During the summer I love to linger outside with friends as the day makes its slow fade into night. A bottle of wine, a few good nibbles, and flickering candlelight sets the mood for lots of gabbing and laughing. I have a big collection of votive holders leftover from our wedding, but I’ve been wanting to hang candle lanterns around our deck.

Ok so I, after much research, have been able to read the gyro data of the new wii motion plus peripheral with the arduino microcontroller. With this code and the code previously developed for the wii nunchuck (here), we are able to create a 6 DOF IMU for under $40. Thanks Nintendo! Best of all, everything is I2C so only 2 analog inputs (A4 and A5 needed for the wire library) are needed to read 6 sensors and no ADC conversion happens on the arduino board.

Pixel Art Coasters!

Here’s a fun way to add digitized pixels into your over-digitized life.  It’s a Pixel Art Coaster that can be attached to your dining table or any other furniture.

They’re made from a resilient paper fiber that should hold up to the condensation you might get on the bottom of your cup, or the occasional spill. In addition to the blue palette (which I prefer), there’s also a hot pink version if you’re looking for something a bit more girly.

Here’s a cool innovation, a portable fireplace called Travelmate you can take anywhere with you.

The coolest thing about this porta-fire is the fact that you can place the fireplace in the middle of your livingroom instead of stuck at a corner permanently.

travelmate portable fireplace by conmoto is made of black powder-coated steel and glass with adjustable steel fuel-holder, burns on bio-ethanol liquid fuel. liquid fuel not included

the traveling fire, the technology of smokeless fire combined with a weather resistant powder coating offers one thing in particular: releasing the fire from being in a fixed place in the home.
travelmate makes it possible to set up an individual, full-value fireplace and source of heat that really sets the mood, with no complications and wherever you want it, on the carpet, on the dining table, nest to the sofa, on the terrace, or in the garden, now the atmosphere of the fireside can be enjoyed anywhere.
the formal design as a stylized suitcase unmistakably conveys the notion that this is an item not bound to any fixed location. a cheerful fire blazing in the unit completes the concept of a fireplace that really wants to be free of its shackles. the glass pane, with is held on with magnets, is only removed in order to light the fire. once the glass pane has been replaced, the fuel tank can be opened and closed, using the stainless steel slide at the front of the fireplace, thereby allowing the flames to be regulated from the outside. now the glass pane once again the fire.
