When it comes to building your own gadgets, nothing is better than a solar powered RC Car!

Of course, it only “charges” using solar cells, but this solar movement is helped greatly by DIYs like this.

Great job!

A rc car with two solar panels strapped up top for charging power. (Sorry no images) video coming soon. This is my first Instructable so be as honest as you can be

Here’s a cool instructables on how to make a fakeout stereo face to deter thieves from stealing your precious stereo face.

This faceplate is made using the original Delco radio/cassette tape player that came with the truck, some Velcro, and a lot of epoxy glue. I left half of a cassette sticking out of the tape player for added effect.

As an avid fan of Linux operating systems ever since I took Minix class, which Linux was born from, I love to hear about cool little DIYs on making a Linux firewall out of a lunch box.

The greatest thing about Linux operating systems in comparison to Windows or any other operating systems is that it can be easily custom tailored to do one thing whether that’s a web server, firewall, file server, or any type of server that requires stability at “no cost”.

This simple DIY shows us the things that are possible with open source and free software.

Heck, you could probably make a lot of money putting these Lunchbox Linux firewall boxes to production as they are as good as an over-priced Cisco router.

It’s a plastic Thermos brand Hot Wheels lunchbox circa 2007. Black plastic, white handle, but no Thermos inside. As soon as I saw it, I knew it would become a computer case, so I bought it, brought it home, and started digging in the parts box. Grabbed one of my Via C3 embedded 3.5″ boards, a cheap 4GB compact flash card, a small 5V, 8A power supply, and my exacto knife and files.

There’s got to be about a thousand DIYs on how to make a digital photo frame these days but this one is specifically for converting a Dell laptop.  Very well done.

These are the steps I used to create my Digital Photo Frame from an older Dell 1150 laptop.

We decided to call DIYs like this GOMY DIYs. (Got too much time On My Hands DIY)

Neverthless, great idea, well executed in just couple pictures.

The Wii Wheel was supposed to make racing easy enough for anyone to jump right into a session of Mario Kart Wii with no prior experience with either traditional game controllers or the Wii Remote. When used properly, it works as expected. The trouble is that it’s not always used properly. Watching your parents try to get through Wario’s Gold Mine, you’ll notice that they’re sometimes holding the Wheel the wrong way, and it’s making them drive off the track into chasms of eternity. This observation led me to examine how Mario Kart Wii’s steering works and come up with a solution for keeping n00bs on track.

Goohack was just launched!  It’s a search engine that uses Google API to search DIYs, HowTos, Hacks, and other technology stuff from hand-selected sites by me.

It’s pretty useful as it filters out a lot of sites you don’t consider DIY and HowTo related.

For example, type “how to run car on water” and you will get a LOT of focused DIYs and HOWTOs on that subject only.

For now, I have it up on the top right corner so next time you need to find a hack, you can try Goohack.

Here’s a list of sites included in Goohack searches right now:

zedomax.com | makezine.com | engadget.com | gizmodo.com | lifehacker.com | techeblog.com | wonderhowto.com | hackedgadgets.com | metacafe.com | youtube.com | videojug.com | boingboing.net | wikihow.com | instructables.com | evilmadscientist.com | hackaday.com | hackszine.com | craftzine.com | diylive.net | techdigest.tv | ubergizmo.com | getusb.info | youritronics.com | hardocp.com

Wow, Maker Faire was a lot bigger this year over at San Mateo Fairgrounds near where I used to work.
