Lady Ada has done it again! I still remember when I first met her at the Maker Faire couple years back, very nice lady indeed who keeps stirring up really cool DIY kits.
Here’s her latest Russian VFD alarm clock kit, it features vaccuum flourescent tube and open-source platform so you can hack it all you want.
Why limit yourself to a clock? Hack it and make it tweet your GPS location via your Palm Pre. hahaha. Happ
Here’s a simple and great way to add a “macro” lens to your cellphone camera, simply get the lens out of an old dvd player and stick it on a piece of cardboard. I like this idea for those of you who want to be like “MacGyver“. (Damn, I wish they had those MacGyver shows on TV again, I used to watch like every episode in the 80s, translated to Korean.)
These days, there’s no reason to ever “lose” your child, especially with the number of GPS tracking devices out there today.
I was doing more research for my Palm Pre’s GPS tracking system on Twitter and found out that AmberAlert has just launched its hand-sized GPS tracking system GPS 2G, specifically for tracking your kids.
It’s rather pricey at $379.99 for one of these devices and $9.99/month for the most basic tracking but I think this could be

For those of you who like to swim or simply like being in water, you might be happy to learn that there’s a waterproof USB flash drive with 8 gigabytes of memory and according to one review:
It is fast, cheap, and has lots of storage. I accidentally sent it through the washing machine and it still works just as good. It can be a little bulky to get into crowded USB areas, but other than that no complaints.

Rememnber, the contest for LED desklamp with digital photo frame ending in like 10 minutes.
Even if you don’t win, you might be surprised to learn that you can make your own giant LED lamp to replace a flourescent lamp in your garage. This is great since LEDs are way more efficient plus they are super-brighter too.
To power it up, connect a 12V 1A power supply to the lamp ensuring that polarity is correct. You will be amazing by the bright white light that comes from this tube.
Looking for that perfect iPhone stand that will stand upright so you can display your apps while you work and charge your phone? Well, here’s a really really cool looking iPhone Charger/Stand from TodBot with design files. I have to say it’s a piece of art.
While I am waiting for my cellphone signal booster to arrive, (which also works on broadband cards) I figured out a really simple method that actually gets you better broadband signal in your car.
So here’s how to get better broadband signal when you are working inside your car like me:

If you have a sunroof, open it up as much as you can.
I just went from 2-3 bars to like 4-5 bars with that.

This is a better way to keeping a record of where you have been traveling in the past with your Palm Pre.
