iPhone-Controlled DIY Disappearing Kitchen Island! - 2011-06-17 08:03:30-04

For those of you looking to add more space to your kitchen, you might want to take a look at what Tim Thaler did by building an iPhone-controlled disappearing kitchen island. Simply genius! After weeks of online research, Mr. Thaler decided a hydraulic scissor lift would make his dream possible. New, the 500-pound piece of machinery costs close to $4,500, but Thaler was able to find a used model on eBay for $380, including shipping. The lift sits in a utility room below the kitchen accessible through a small door in an adjacent room. The door is camouflaged to look like a pool cue rack. Turn the ball rack above the door to the right and an RFID chip within matches up with a sensor on the other side of the wall and the door opens. via hackaday This post iPhone-Controlled DIY Disappearing Kitchen Island! was originally from zedomax.com Design, disappearing kitchen island, DIY, diy kitchen island, Featured, Featured DIYs, Furniture, Hack, iphone controlled, Projects

HP TouchPad Now Available Everywhere! - 2011-06-20 13:37:23-04

HP TouchPad is now finally here everywhere! I still remember getting my first Palm Pre, which runs the same WebOS that the TouchPad runs. I still think WebOS is better than both Android and iOS as far as intuitive multi-touch plus apps can easily be erased from the RAM using the card system. WebOS is more close to a Linux OS while Android is a derivative of Linux. I just like the fact that with WebOS, you can actually run native Linux applications, meaning there’s far more hacking uses for it and compatibility to Linux. Of course, you can run Linux on Android too but it’s still too slow and at its infant stages unlike WebOS where you can slap on some Lighttpd and MySQL to run a mobile WordPress hosting platform. I will eventually have to get one to play around with this new HP TouchPad, it’s definitely one of the better options with tablets. Where can you get the HP TouchPad? Amazon, HP.com, NewEgg, or BestBuy This post HP TouchPad Now Available Everywhere! was originally from zedomax.com HP TouchPad, HP TouchPad, Tablets

DIY Receipt Printer Racing Game! - 2011-06-20 15:39:00-04

How would you make video games in a world where LCD displays didn’t exist? Well, there’s actually an answer for that, use a receipt printer to literally print your screen while you try to make through the maze, as shown on this DIY receipt printer racing game. No matter how pointless and wasteful this game seems, I am sure it has some good applications to other projects. The game is played on a receipt printer, a common device you can see at every convenient store. It prints those papers you usually find crumbled up in your pockets, just to throw them away. It is a thermal printer using heat to darken the paper. This eliminates any slowdowns in printing lots of black. A roll can be ordered online and costs around 80 cents. via hackaday, Project Page This post DIY Receipt Printer Racing Game! was originally from zedomax.com Computer, DIY, diy receipt printer, Entertainment, Featured, Featured DIYs, Featured Entertainment, Featured Gadgets, Featured Hacks, Gadgets, Games, Hack, Printer, Projects, racing game
