SPAM Pinhole camera SPAM Pinhole camera 2

Check out this Spam Pinhole camera. Yes, it’s indeed a hidden camera. At first I thought it was just a Spam opening device…

Although, if you’re up to the challenge, I’ve listed below the steps I took to create my first SPAMera. Since it’s conception, I’ve noticed other people making their own versions and I think that’s great. So if someone out there has an idea how to make the SPAMera better, please do email me how you did it and I’ll be more than happy to post those adjustments here and give you credit for the impovement. Until then, here’s how I made the SPAMera pictured above.

Nixie Tube Counter taken apart

Check out the insides of a Nixie Tube counter, cool…

From the 1950’s until about 1970, nixies were a dominant display technology. “NIXIE” is actually a brand name for display tubes made by Burroughs, and the proper generic name might be “cold cathode neon readout tube.” However, as with facial tissue, a single short word involving the letter ‘X’ had more widespread appeal. Whatever you call it, they were used in all manner of electronic instruments that needed to display numerical data until they were ultimately made obsolete by the introduction of LEDs. One of the common places that you can find nixie tubes is in old scientific instruments, like this old HP 5321B frequency counter which has been converted into a clock. (It’s 10:53:49 PM.)

Wireless HACK - How to make your own wireless detecting vibrator!

Wow, check out this guy who hacked a wireless detector to vibrate whenever he was near wireless networks.

This project is for a small electronic unit that allows the user to sense the presence and relative signal strength of wireless hotspots. It can be worn as a pendant or carried in a pocket. It is “always on” and communicates the presence and signal strength of an in-range hotspot by way of sequences of pulses - like a heartbeat you can feel. The stronger and faster the “heartbeat”, the stronger the wireless signal detected.

Wii HACK - Wii Loop Machine

Posted in Audio, Circuits, Consumer, Cool, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, Games, Hack, Video, wii by max on the March 23rd, 2007 at 11:14 am

Here’s a neat little Wii HACK that uses the Wiimote as a Loop Machine for re-mixing some music. Kinda love this one since it’s got some good music too.

This weekend I finished the Wii Loop Machine software that I started a few weeks ago. It’s a system for using the wireless Wii remote to sync, control, and manipulate loops in real time.

Wii HACK - Solar powered Wii!

Posted in Circuits, Consumer, Cool, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, Games, Hack, Projects, Solar, Video, wii by max on the March 23rd, 2007 at 9:38 am

Wow, check out this cool solar powered Wii!

Tom’s Hardware Guide recently built a mobile Wii station, complete with an HD monitor, that’s powered in part by a solar energy (check out the Tom’s Workshop video of the project). It’s a simple invention on many levels. For one, it didn’t cost much at all to find a battery, power converter and appropriately-sized solar power panel. And the station itself is just wood with a couple of wheels and a coat of blue paint slapped on. For this purposes of this experiment, we decided to keep the costs low and create a repeatable formula in case anyone else wanted to try something similar.
