Here’s a cool site with thanksgiving howtos ranging from turkey, gravy, cranberries, potatoes, and pumpkin pies. He has a very nice ingredient chart made especially for engineers. As an engineer myself (don’t want to be), this might turn out to be a good site to get ideas on how to cook turkey.

Here’s an interesting project making a cathode ray tube from scratch. There are some interesting things you can do with it such as making a cathode ray oscilloscope.

Chatter uses the Plushie Message Framework (chat-parsing script to Arduino to wireless module) to send selected instant messages from your computer to the message pillow. Often times
Check out Parallax’s GPS module that you can communicate to it using 4800 bps serial TTL and 5V DC power. You can use this for communicating with any microcontroller capable of RS232 communication. We will have to add on to our list of peripherals and DIY ideas on using this module to make a simple GPS tracking device.
The module provides c
Check out Parallax’s new Hydra! It’s powered by their new Propeller chip, similar to XGamesystem. Looks like it’s a retro-game system that’s been re-invented except now you can hack it anyway you want it. You can connect it to TV and keyboard to start playing and hacking games!

Ouch! that hurts! As a animal lover, this is very controversial project!
Cool paintball machine gun! You will have harder time running away next time you are in the paintball field.
Every so I often I Google “paintball minigun“. This time it actually turned up something good. Special effects builder Rick Galinson has been working on a… wait for it…
We have a new face for our blog, which will be a wiki. Wikis are becoming very popular these days among the general public and large organizations. In our experience over the last couple months testing the wiki, the wikis provide far greater depth into how you can sort and store information. Wiki would be something between HTML and Word DOC except 100 times faster in organizing and re-organizing. Now might be a good time to start your own wiki site, since
