DIY HACK - Sparkfun playing around with Touch Tetris
I need one of these touch Tetris where you can actually move your whole arm to guide your boxes. (If I can only do this in the warehouse where everything fits, we’d save a lot of space…) (thinking of our warehouse pictures, i forgot to updated with ALL our Mattress-in-a-box(es)…visit our mattress store within 26 hours and you can save 20% OFF our retail prices…) (By the way, the only tightest and best stuff get marked as “Magic” under our category section…)

SparkFun just moved into some bigger and better offices; they are still in Boulder and cranking out orders for various kits, components, and more. We dropped by the new space last week to check it out and congratulate them on their expansion - [Flickr Photoset]

USB LED Man

If you ever wanted to get serious with some LEDs, you can really play with this guy. He can mimic any songs, well, it’s not available yet… I bet Garrett from Comfile can hack one up real quick… He made that voice activated Christmas Tree, this doesn’t seem too different. It seems like the eyes and nose are random movements and the mouth simply syncs to the music depending on the frequency… Pretty simple actually…(Looks freakin’ nice on USB though…well…then again…Garrett probably just need to hook up his USB HID Portal…)
Enough ranting about some LED man we can’t buy yet, we will have to wait…
At least, it is BETTER than the aqua teen hunger force LED man… Cool… (or maybe those guys make new versions with this feature…this new LED man is way smarter for sure…)
SolidAlliance might be on to something with their USB Tengu, self talking USB gadget. At the size of a cigarette box this guy comes to life upon USB connection. The LEDs turn bright red into a friendly face, then reacts to music and sound - ideal for those looking for anonymity and in need of a front man (Jeffrey Skilling could have used this a couple years ago).
usb tenguNot on sale yet - but will be in Japan mid August. Price tag - about $40USD. YouTube video below will make you laugh, worth the look - if you have IE6 click here.

P.S. Buy a mattress at our new online mattress store so you can finally say you got a good deal from a mattress with out negotiating…

Wow, this is a really cool trash droid! Although there’s absolutely no point in making this since the battery probably will run out after 24 hours… But on the positive note, this is the very first humorous trash can I’ve seen so far. But there are those automatic trash cans called iTouchless. (I used to work like a block away from their headquarters…)

This is the video of a real 125mW Viper Green Laser from Dragon Lasers. You know, we have an advertisement for Dragon Lasers… well… they didn’t even PAY for advertisement but I just decided to give them free advertisement because their lasers are so cool! Frank from DragonLasers sent me this 125mW Viper Green Laser and I have been playing with it for couple months. (Yes, these things do go like for 3 miles in any direction!) I have still yet to figure out real purpose or use for these green lasers but they are way cooler than your ordinary red laser. (Yes, you will be the MAN when you own this $350 green laser.)
Well, here’s what I got from Frank from DragonLasers:
Having the ad on your website has been great, can’t thank you enough for that. I have a Hulk portable laser (www.dragonlasers.com/hulk) to send you when you get round to finish the review on the 125mW Viper. If you are flat out and too busy to finish the Viper review, I should still be able to send you the Hulk. You’ve helped us out a lot so I have a fair bit of flexibility in sending it to you.
Well, I don’t want to be selfish and keep these lasers for myself. We are giving away a Hulk Laser from DragonLasers for the Top Commentator this month. Whoever is at the top of the commentator list at the end of the month will get this laser! (Let’s say that Frank should really ship this to our Top Commentator.)
If you are interested, just keep on commenting on Zedomax without all that Viagra or porno stuff…and you should be on your way to getting your first green laser…. WhoEVER is the TOP commentator at the end of this month, you WILL get the Hulk Laser from DragonLasers. And I tell you, that IS great….
P.S. I have been so busy trying to sell these pop-up mattresses and memory foam mattresses… So if you can help me do this… well.. I will send you anything!

Well, Frank was coool enough to send me some really really cool green laser pointers. You CAN in fact burn matches and black electrical tape among other things but the)greatest thing is that you can hack it to be a little dance room for ya~ (if you know what i mean… )
So check out green lasers since they are not really paying me any money but they do give you some really awesome sampleS!
If you want the best laser in the world, you got it right here. (Cost $300 range but still worth it if you are into having the best of the best of latest technologies like me.
P.S. Sorry Frank, I’ve been VERY VERY busy….

Yes, this hacks been around for awhile like an old whor*. Anyways, check out the Window iPhone hack if you refuse to get an iPhone for some odd reason or you just can’t afford one. Well, this hack doesn’t really implement all the cool touch features of a real iPhone but at least you can be a wannabe for sure. :p
Today I’ll highlight a couple of methods for skinning your Windows Mobile phone to look and feel like an iPhone.* Hit the jump to see some videos of the Windows Mobile iPhones in action and to find out how to achieve the same results.
* NOTE: No, no matter what you do, it still won’t be an iPhone, and I agree, you shouldn’t try to make an orange into an Apple (har har). But some of the iPhone’s features as implemented using the methods described below are, frankly, either better or more intuitive than the Windows Mobile default, and I’m thrilled to bring even an ounce of that usability to my smartphone.
