The guys over at TechRestore take lots of technology apart to show us how it works. They made one of the best screen backgrounds that I have ever seen. It is a picture of what is literally behind the screen! This isn’t an amazing feat of technological wonder, but sometimes it’s the little things that make me smile.

I remember growing up with a flip clock on the bed side table. It was similar to the one pictured above except that it was encased in a stylish simulated wood-grained plastic box.

It will be lots of fun for me her.
If you want to go under the sea, this Parallax Submersible ROV project by Richard will allow you to go where most electronics don’t want to go. With a goal of looking at the bottom of a lake in Michigan and watching some fish I think this project will do very well. "This ROV is tethered to the surface with a 6 conductor Ethernet cable and nylon support line.
