How to Make Electric Cable Organizer with Toilet Paper Rolls! - 2011-05-06 07:20:02-04
Here’s a neat idea for organizing all your electric cables in a box. Rather than just placing them everywhere pointlessly and later cursing at yourself why you can’t find your microUSB cable while you try to root your Atrix 4G Phone, save all your toilet paper rolls and use them to compartmentalize your shoebox and neatly place all your wires there. I’ve been doing exactly this, stuffing all my USB/computer cables in my drawer along with all my other things and I’ve finally find the solution! I guess this is also great way to make less impact on the environment too. via instructables This post How to Make Electric Cable Organizer with Toilet Paper Rolls! was originally from zedomax.com DIY, electric cable organizer, Featured, Featured DIYs, Featured Hacks, Hack, how-to, HOWTO, make, Projects, toiler paper

How to Build a DIY Shopping Cart Lounge Chair! - 2011-05-06 11:02:45-04
We’ve seen some crazy things done with a shopping cart before, here’s another cool way to turn a shopping cart into a lounge chair. Designer Mike Bouchet decided to have a go at it, I think this is a wonderful idea except I think you need to put some comfy leather lining or something to make it comfortable/usable. At Design Miami/ Basel, you will see a series of sun loungers created by Bouchet. They are constructed from existing supermarket shopping carts. The metal is bent back and forward to create the shape of the seat and the child's seat is reconfigured into an adjustable head rest. Sensible yet comfy cushions complete the lounge. Several versions will be presented including one chair fitted with a parasol and another tricked out with a night time reading light.

DIY Felt Mouse! - 2011-05-06 15:43:36-04
Do you want a mouse that’s truly eco-friendly and made from wood felt, teak, and aluminum? Well, designer Joey Roth has created this DIY felt mouse that’s exactly that. I was inspired by the mouse’s intimate contact with the human skin, which is unique among peripherals. Although it’s more similar to a glove or shoe than a printer, mice are typically made from the same thermoplastics. For such a tactile and purposeful object, this is wrong.

DIY Credit Card Reader Mozart Music Maker! - 2011-05-08 12:37:40-04
Steve Chamberlin has created an awesome DIY credit card reader that plays mozart music when you swipe any kind of credit card. He reverse engineered the Z-80 computer inside the credit card reader and let it play some mozart music based on Melisma Stochastic Melody Generator. This is a pretty nifty idea I think, perhaps has a lot more uses to it than just playing music, could be applied to membership cards, perhaps rewards members with auto-generated music plus hidden bonuses? Would certainly work well for Costco. After discovering a cool little Z-80 based computer inside, and reverse-engineering the hardware, I decided to reprogram it to unlock the music hidden inside magnetic stripe cards. I call this wonder Mozart's Credit Card. The hardware is a Tranz 330 POS terminal from VeriFone, dating from the 1980's. The 330 and its cousins are great for electronics tinkerers. They're self-contained 8-bit computers with lots of intersting I/O interfaces, and retro-style vacuum-fluorescent displays. They use the same microprocessor as the TRS-80 and ZX Spectrum, so handy software routines from those computers can be reused. The terminals are commonly available from surplus stores or eBay for around $10. via hackaday This post DIY Credit Card … Continue reading →

How to Make DIY Animated LED Glasses! - 2011-05-08 12:49:46-04
As soon as I saw these DIY animated LED glasses, I knew this is one of the coolest glasses I would ever get to wear. From reading the instructions, it seems pretty easy to make, based on PixAxe microcontrollers, meaning you can program it in BASIC language. I think the important thing here is that the idea of putting LEDs on the glasses (and taking it to music shows according to the author) that’s genius at hand. Kudos, freakin’ love this.

Paramotor Eris 4 Powered Paraglider! - 2011-05-08 13:06:31-04
There’s a spot here in San Francisco near the border of Daly City and SF that you can watch many paragliding and hang gliding, it’s probably one of the most popular spots for that around here. In fact, one time I saw this paraglider who fell into a tree on the highway. Anyways, I didn’t know there’s a “powered” paraglider, this stuff is insane! Watch the end of the video where the guy literally surfs the lake. This is the future of search and rescue. I’ve found out more information, these things can take you up to 15,000 feet in the air! Check out u-turnusa.com for more info. You can find more cool videos like this at YouTube user imasuper0308′s page.

Circuits DIY – How to Make Your Own Capacitor! - 2011-05-09 11:44:32-04

Do you know what capacitors do? For those of you who don’t know (don’t worry most people don’t know what capacitors are unless you took some electrical engineering classes in college or you are electrician/bass-head), capacitors are basically electronic parts that can store energy, almost like a battery (it is kinda of one). Anyways, for some reason the world ends tomorrow, perhaps you can make your own capacitor (provided there’s some aluminum foil still around, you can make that too first if needed) using aluminum foil! I am not going to bury you with all the gory details of this majestic science experiment but feel free to hit up the YouTube video below: You can also read up on what capacitors are exactly on Wikipedia. via hackaday, ladyada This post Circuits DIY – How to Make Your Own Capacitor! was originally from zedomax.com Circuits, circuits diy, DIY, diy capacitor, Featured, Featured DIYs, Featured Hacks, Hack, how-to, HOWTO, make, Projects

USB Hack – How to Make Your Own DIY USB Keylogger! - 2011-05-09 11:53:42-04

Talk about stealth, this guy has made his own DIY USB keylogger, which is actually USB keyboard adapter with a PIC microcontroller “inside” it as its brains. Of course, keylogging is probably not legal to do unless you have a good reason like you are an FBI agent spying on suspects/terrorists. Regardless, knowing how one can make a DIY USB keylogger that is also super-stealth is good to know for your own security that there are smart people out there who can steal your private, personal information. And who knows, you might need a DIY USB keylogger someday. Some weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me to help him, cause his computer seamed blocked, indeed, he couldn’t either type his password to login with his account.. I know that he is almost a novice and couldn’t just change the keyboard instead of asking me help, anyway, i changed his keyboard, but I wanted to know why it wasn’t working, I tried it on another computer without any result, except that the keyboard’s leds blinked, so, I wanted to go deeper; I take a Logic Analyzer and i have analyzed the PS/2 protocol, I have discovered that the keyboard was … Continue reading →
