we’ve been wanting to get a bird feeder to hang outside our living room window for some time now. (hopefully it won’t drive our cats nuts!) this little feeder was inexpensive and easy to make, and we were able to customize it with paint to look like a little snack stand at an amusement park!
iPhone Hack - How to Make an iPhone Stand using Paper Clips!

Here’s a guy who managed to come up with an iPhone stand out of paper clips. He’s even providing printable sketch sheet for those of you who want to make one.
It looks pretty simple, brilliant idea. They could sell these with different colors of paint or somethin’
Get the template here. Print it out with your favorite PDF reader. Be sure not to stretch the document. If you have a ruler, do a reality check to make sure the document didn’t get resized when printed. When the paper clip is straightened out, it should be the same length as the grey line in the template. A pair of pliers will make your job a lot easier.

Paintdrip Table!

Yes, this isn’t real but it’s a great concept for a Paint-drip table. Of course, you can always use it for movie props as the redness reminds me more of blood than paint.

DIY HACK - Painting with light…

Check out how you can create some nice photographs with light added.
Here is how it’s done:
Set your camera on the tripod and take a sample shot with flash / lights on. This will help you verify that your composition is OK.
Set the exposure to a relatively long value. Stop down the aperture as much as you need. If you are outside do nothing. If you are inside - this is the time to close the lights.
Make the click. Once the shutter is open use your flashlight to light the stuff that you want to “paint”. You can use the flashlight as a brash, and “smear” the light, just like you would have done with brush and paper. Or, you can use the light as a pen, and do precise work. Areas where you go slowly will be more lit then others. Be careful not to linger to much over the same stop - you will burn it. (The machos amongst you will correctly identify this as the “I forgot the iron on the shirt” phenomena).
DIY HACK - HOWTO make cool Green Laser Digital Photos
Okay, here’s how to take some cool digital photos with your Green Laser. (if you don’t have one, get one from DragonLasers.com)
1. Get your digital camera to be in some kind of “slow mode”…. I have a Canon SD750 which has a fireworks mode that will slow down the camera…

Here’s some scribbles to start out…

I was trying to write Zedomax but wrote ZE…

More ZE….

Big Z!

Smiley Face!

More squigleys…
Anyways, don’t get jealous that I have an orange wall in my livingroom. (It took hard work and dedication and a whole day to paint!)
Get a Green Laser! then play with your digital camera…hehe…
P.S. Yes, I admit this isn’t really a DIY HACK but at least I have a green laser(for free!)…do you?
DIY - Paint Roller Robot
Next time I need to paint my house, I need these… well i’d need a house first though…lol
Here is a good site on making robots out of very ordinary parts. This simple robot can be changed in a number of ways to do basically whatever you want it to do. This little robot is very simple. It simply uses an IR photo transistor connected to a 2N2222 transistor. This transistor is used to drive the motor. This schematic seems to put a lot of current through the photo transistor. I think, I would add a 100 ohm resistor in series with it.
