Check out Blackle, it’s a Google-based search engine that supposedly saves energy by making the background black. But when I do searches, it seems to give you those limited results kinda like the Google search bar on Zedomax.com. I think all they really did is put a Google Search on a black HTML page. (Maybe we will make one to and get some traffic.
Talking about traffic, check out

Wow, we just got the Halo UVX and took it out of the box. It’s awesome in the way the UV rays come out of the bottom. (See video for close-up)
Too bad we are giving this cool vac out to the winner of the MaKePoNo Contest.

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 op
Check it out. Plusmo is coming to iPhones. Although my review on Plusmo has not been so great, I do like their new website theme design and willing to try again with my Blackberry 8830. In fact, maybe I will put Plusmo logos on all the websites…hehe…
SAN JOSE, Calif. – August 1, 2007 – Plusmo announced today the availability of its free and customizable mobile widgets service to users of Apple’s new iPhone. A custom
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!

Here’s something you can do with your Green Laser and a camera. I will have to try this and post one soon…
I just painted my new apartment with some orange, more orange, and lavender paint. Here’s a great way you can make a IR PaintRemover! (good find, Phillip!)
The new unit would be a departure from the old. This new unit would be based on a ceramic emitter rather than your grandfather’s quartz tubes of yesteryear. Why ceramic? One reason is that a ceramic unit would be easier to build with fewer parts. Commercial ceramic emitters are readily available. Efficiencies for ceramic emitters run from 85 to
Pitchfork LED!
Although we haven’t been doing much DIYs lately, you can check out the Pitchfork LED for ideas for this Halloween!
Here’s the really cool spinning bluetooth wirele
Here’s a little hack on HOWTO update your Arduino Chip from David Fowler. (Thanks David!)
After doing the reset mod to my Arduino Compatible Bare Bones Boards I wanted to update the firmware to get the full benefit of the Diecimila update. I followed the directions on the Arduino website but could not succeed. I sent emails and did web searches and still did not find the answer. Ultimately with the help of David Mellis, one of the Arduino Team members, we figured out that it can not be done from the IDE using the simple cable described at the
