Here’s a cool blending night DIY, very simple and easy to do with your Picaxe. Picaxe is a very cheap microcontroller you can do a lot of cool stuff like this…
had a few multicolor LEDs laying around and wanted to whip up a color-blending nightlight. I built 2 devices, each in its own 20 pin DIP socket without soldering. A 3-pin header is included so I can reprogram the light on-the-fly if desired. On my first build, I used wire-
Cool little interesting howto on boiling an egg using power of the sun!
Now this was one of those bizarre challenges that Jezza Bear from a web forum and that was to boil eggs and I was challenged to boil an egg with the power of the sun.
This project infuriated my because this type of experiment only really works well when there is a very bright and hot day. Not the easiest thing to find

I have been searching for new watches lately and this would be the one I’d love to have. Wow, this is an awesome project! I couldn’t find any free source codes though…
After soldering all the parts together, it was time to make the watch finally come to life! The first thing I did is called, for lack of a better name, “Board Bringup”. It’s basically the smoke test to see if there
Here’s a cool DIY oscilloscope using a PIC12F675 kinda similar to the Atmega Atmel Oscilloscope.
This is a simple PC voltage oscilloscope using only a PIC12F675, a 20MHz oscillator, and a RS232 level shifter. The PIC takes a sample on GP2, immediately sends it to the PC at 115,200 baud using an software asynchronous serial routine, and repeats. It sends a 8-bit val
Ah, here’s a way I can call my parents overseas! Update: There is also 712-945-1111 if the number below is busy.
Michael Gartenberg from Jupiter Research spotted this odd phone service for making free international calls, you call a number in Iowa (712-858-8883) and according to the site… “When the gateway answers, enter 011 then the country code and number you want to reach (mobile users, do not hit SEND – the call will go through on it’s own). Wait a few moments for your call to ring through and then enjoy your free call.”

Here’s howto make your own Pyramid mood changing lamp. This is a lot better then one you can buy at the mall for like 20 bucks!
Kinda like our Light Orb Alarm Clock, but it’s a pyramid!
