For those of you who visited us at Maker Faire today and want more details regarding the HID Portal plans and code, I’ll have it posted here pretty soon. I’ll try to get it online by tomorrow morning, but if not then it’ll definitely be available within a day or two of the last Maker Faire day (tomorrow). If you email me at garrett@zedomax.com I’ll be sure to notify you when I post the info.
Thanks for all the positive comments and Corsair dogfighting!

Wow, there’s so much cool stuff here at Maker Faire such as this cool balancing bot. It’s so big and there’s so much stuff, I don’t think you can see everything in one day. Phew…
Hey we are live at the Maker Faire, blogging live! See our automated camera that follows people? Well, it’s a $160 Logitech camera we got in a hurry at Best Buy last night just before the store closed. Glad we got it working although the internet here sucks sometimes. Anyway, our booth is really popular! 🙂
Garrett is doing a great job with the crowd while I am hiding in the back. (Why am I hiding? Blogging of course!)
Hi there, we are at the Maker Faire! I got hands on one of automatic webcams that follow people. Check it out! It took me awhile to hook up some internet. For some reason, I couldn’t hook up to the free internet here. BUT I got my Sprint Samsung IP-830W to work as a cellular modem. Hopefully, the live videos stream good on it. (My phone is a life-saver! 🙂 )
Update: We
It looks like Maker Faire is really taking its shape.
We are also busy setting up at Maker Faire. Actually, Garrett is busy setting up at Maker Faire.
I am working on the graphics for our 42″ table. Hopefully the below graphic will work good.
Although our table is small, we plan to do some live blogging, here’s the graphics:
Phew, it’s been very busy for all of us this week with all kinds of crazy stuff going on. I just b
Everytime my girlfriend’s brother Bodin comes over to my apartment and sleeps over, he SNORES! So we’ve outlawed him from sleeping in the same room ever again. But it’s about to change with this cool Snore Stopper. It will give you a slight electric shock or wave everytime you start snoring. We haven’t tried it yet, but I plan to buy it for Bodin since his birthday is coming soon. By the way, Bodin runs the

Cool, here’s a little preview of the 2009 Porsche panamera, kinda reminds me of the Porsche 928, my favorite.
At least three different Panameras are visible in this video — one blue example and two black copies — and they were filmed in various locations. One feature that may not have been apparent before is the Panamera’s hatchback, which is clearly visible as the car is being loaded up

Here’s a very simple wireless keyless entry DIY using some relays and stuff, very similar to the Wiimote Door Unlocker.
The mechanism is simple enough, just a momentary button on the panel in my apartment, but the mess of wires in the wall is a little unsettling. I took some meter readings of the terminals and sorted out the door button wiring
Wow, check out this cool DIY on how to make a rotating LCD! This IS very useful for reading PDFs and whatnot. If you don’t want to make one or you are about buy a new LCD, there’s also bunch of LCDs out there that already rotates. (which I use at work) CNET has a great review of rotating LCDs.
This fixture is very usefull for rotate 90 degrees the monit

Cool, we are looking forward to Maker Faire for cool steam tanks like this!
So what do you do after you’ve made a bunch of steam powered r/c tanks? Well you try making a steam turbine tank of course! Making a steam turbine r/c machine has sort of been one of my Holy Grails, but there are many issues with steam turbines, that made it difficult for me to tackle on the project.
