I am thinking with 7 days still to go this Printrbot Kickstarter has been mildly successful. Of course I am joking, this Kickstarter has been wildly successful! Brook Drumm had a goal of $25,000, the current funding level is a staggering $382,444. 3D printers are really taking off, for example Makerbot recently got $10 million in funding to grow their offerings. But with the price of many 3D printers in
You think these scammers from Global PC Protection (they often call themselves Global IT) would have me on their do not call list after the fun we had with them in Part 1 and part 2. I figured that would be the last we ever heard of them. Well to my surprise I got another cold call from one of their agents warning me that my computer has once again

With the original circuit board connected to in certain audio circuit location you are able to alter it in a pleasing way, watch the video below to see an example of this in action. Thanks to John who passed along this link

This place has a showroom that would make non epileptics has a seizure from all the blinking goodness. 🙂 I guess if you are looking to do some interior design in a night club (or my basement) this would be the place to go.

It was a great day when we could start our cold car remotely. A bit of trivia, the first remote car starter was produced by Canadian company here in Winnipeg called Kraus. Times have changed! In this hack Brandon Fiquett uses Siri in his Apple iPhone 4S to command his car to start using voice commands. Lots of the heavy lifting has been done by Viper in this case
This Rave Rover is a cool build and it is very well documented so you can see all the details of the system and how it was done. They are using a ton of high power RGB LED modules that can be controlled via SPI. The control of the LEDs is being done with an Arduino. Thanks to a very sturdy frame, some pneumatics and a few wheel chair motors
This video shows what a machine that costs more than your average car can do. It is amazing to see something that large move with that much accuracy. The machine doing the work in this case was built by C.R. Onsrud. I wonder if they will ship us a demo unit. 🙂
