Using a PicAxe microcontroller Eric from the Hacked Gadgets Forum coded an interface between the I2C Wii Nunchuck and some status LEDs. It would be trivial from this point to make the circuit activate relays or anything else imaginable instead of just a few LEDs. If you are interesting in playing with this project the code is available.
As we all know past knowledge narrows some of our creative thinking when attempting to solve a problem. This is not the case for the designs created by Bill Gross, he uses genetic algorithms to help him evolve solutions by having computers churn through billions of possible solutions while closing on optimal designs. He created IdeaLab to allow these ideas to come to life. Have a look at the
Alessandro Valli has been hard at work creating this Interactive Climbing Wall. My daughter loves to climb the walls at the YMCA that we go to, she would get a kick out of this creation! You may remember the other creations by Natural Interaction that we featured on the past, Interactive Floor, Multitouch SensitiveTable Skin and Grid Interface.

This custom bar includes a Humidor, Beer Fridge, 46” LCD TV, and a Gaming System. Looks like you may have to take your shoes off before you enter this garage. 🙂 Via: The
Justin (Potatono) has made a cool looking Binary LED clock called Time to Hack. You can find information about the clock at Thingiverse and NYCResistor. "Use three pieces of acrylic, each with similar holes cut in them. The top piece only has four holes for the mounting screws that hold the whole thing together and the "Time To Hack" etch. Under that is the clear piece with holes for
