Looking for a new clock that can make your home more modern and stylish? This DIY Coffee Can Clock certainly has the style and form factor which uses Arduino and matrix displays. Well done, I love it.

For those of you who are thinking of ways to make a new clock for your home, try learning how to make one of these fabulous volt-meter clocks. Not only will you add some smarts to your home, wow your friends by showing your true intelligence, “see, I made this myself!”
The clock is patterned after an analog voltmeter. The meter pointer indicates the time on a meter scale marked in hours, with quarter divisions indicated. The pointer, driven by a servo motor, starts at 12 o’clock on
Max’s Note: I’ve seen these robot clocks before, they are awesome for circuit soldering so the clock can hold stuff for you while you solder.
Put this Robot Clock on your bedside table and make him bend to your will. And that is a literal bending since all of his joints are actually movable and poseable. He has some alligator clamps on the end of his hands to hold pictures or anything else you want kept close to you as you sleep. When the alarm does go off
Here’s a rather simple but would-make-an-awesome-gift clock you can learn how to make using your child’s photo.

(or I hope)
It looks expensive, but is less than $5 dollars, and about 30 minutes per clock. Perfect for Christmas Gifts, birthday gifts, end of school year gifts or any other time.
Kids, especially those learning to tell time, always get excited abo

An autonomous Robotic fish is on its way to fish out pollution. With the increasing number of toxic waste in our waters, it seems that a robotic solution is necessary and the researchers from University of Essex are working around the clock to develop this cool fish that can use its sensors to determine any pollutants that are present.
These robot fish will relay the location of contaminants via Wi-Fi underwater and they can assimilate with other fish. Using GPS, they can also navigate themselv
Over the weekend, I took the motorcycle class and passed! (meaning I get an official license now) Anyways, I did also fend off bunch of hackers who kept taking this site down while I was taking the class (talk about honor, these hackers have no class, at least hack my site when I am not in class).
Here’s a really cool helmet clock that can also project time. This might come in handy to celebrate the day you pass your mo
Well, no one uses films anymore but if you want to dress up your house with this Film Clock (and you are a professional photographer), it’s not a bad idea.
