This is kinda cool way to control an LCD hooked up to Ardunino with browsers including your mobile phone.

In conclusion, this code may be pretty ragged, but the concept is what is important and it should be enough to get you started. You obviously can’t do anything too intense with this. It could be used to do some simple but cool things though such as controlling your house from your cell phone, or feeding your dog or cat over the internet, etc. Once again, please e-mail me if you need help getting it working for your project.

Wow…. that’s kinda cool if it works without hackers like me hacking it…

The vending machine has an “adult recognition” button, and when this is pressed a tiny camera takes a photo of the customer and analyzes certain features such as wrinkles and sagging around the eyes and mouth as well as the frame of the potential buyer’s body to determine a general age.

In a test with 500 people ranging in age from their teens to their 60s, this software was able to identify adults with 90% accuracy.

Distinguishing teenagers from twenty-somethings is more difficult. So when the software cannot make a judgment call, the customer needs to insert a license to prove their age. If the machine can make a match with the license photo, it will sell cigarettes.

This one caught my eye… YaDu!!!

Anyway, it’s a simple humidifier w/ air purification basically like the title says. It’s like a SharperImage air purifier except it cleans with water too using the humidifier. Kinda cool concept if it worked exactly what we think it means.

Wow, lots of control buttons…

BEIJING, China (AVING Special Report on ‘CHITEC 2007′) — <Visual News> YADU presented a humidifier (model: 252C) combined with air purifying function during China Beijing international expo 2007.

Yeah, you gotta buy a mattress on our new mattress store! It POPS out of a box! Kinda cool huh?  It’s a spring mattress that is compressedat the factory to be able to fit in a box.

Here’s some midnight cravings.

Check out the Star Trek that finally got SOLD for 5 times its market value!

Talk about Hybrid cars with solar panels on the roof! I’ve seen some RVs near my neighborhood in SF that are like this but for hybrid cars? It’s not new technology but great re-make of old technology.

I do like the BMW Hydrogen Ecology Vehicle that’s coming up soon. Get the cool McQueen bed if you can’t afford a real car like me.

The Thermal power generator is awesome!

Here’s some late night food porn from my bro-in law.

A pest proof mattress?!? Are you kiddin’ me?

Hmmm… How to snoop online? Kinda cool hack.

As always, the world is moving too fast with these LG phones and more.

This universal repeater for your Linksys is probably going to fill up your midnight cravings though… These are way better than buying one of those sissy repeaters on the market right now. (I think…in theory)

Sleepy yet? Check out sleepzine and get some hints on how to sleep better. (or faster)

Even better, how long can you go without sleep?

Check out these Cool ALAVs (Autonomous Light Vessels) by Jed Berk! Tight! It uses Sun Microsystems SunSpot microcontroller, which can be programmed in Java. I like this idea since there’s a lot of Java embedded processors out there but this ones from the creators. Jed tells me that all the pieces were 3D designed on the computer and laser-cut, kinda cool~

Jed says, Make Store will have these cool DIY ALAV kits soon!

Internet is kinda slow here at the Maker Faire. (That’s why our posts are slow too.) We even switched to a Sprint Broadband but with live video streaming, it’s still too slow but we will keep postin’~

You can come and join us to chat here to while watching our live video.

You can also check out our Flickr photos from Maker Faire Day 1 and Jed’s Flickr for more ALAVs.

Watch as these worms make music, kinda cool~

Here we see an ensemble of worms creating sweet, sweet electroacoustic music on an electric touch contact feedback device (battery powered). No worms were harmed, despite the fact that they appear alarmed. They secrete albumen which is a sort of numbing thing (I think). Anyways, they were hastily removed and now live happily outside once again.
I believe that worms will be writing the pop hits of the future.
