Hack a Day
Our days by the pool are behind us for the year. But playing pirate ship with a 2-year-old does sound like quite a bit of fun. That’s why [The Stone Donkey] built this pirate cannon prop complete with firing sounds. The simplicity of the design is pretty brilliant. Three segments of PVC and five fittings make [...]

Are you bored with just drinking beer? Are your friends constantly sneaking into your house and stealing your sacred beverages? If so, perhaps you need KegDroid – the Android controlled beer tap created by [Paul Carff]. Looking for a way to add more excitement to drinking his beer, [Paul] spiced up his tap with a [...]

Geo/Social stalking is fun. Bing maps has the ability to add various "apps" to the map to enhance your bind maps experience. One of the cooler ones is the Twitter Map app which lets you map geotagged tweets.
Let's start with somewhere fun, like the pentagon, and see who's tweeting around there
Once you have your places picked out, you can click on the Map Apps tab.
If you click on the twitter maps app, it loads recent geo-tagged tweets
As you zoom in, you get a bit more detail
You can also follow specific users and follow them around town :-)
thanks to
indi303 for telling me about this

Recently [Richard] at [pyMCU] was nice enough to send me one of their units to try out. As featured here before, this little board allows you to control physical things using your computer and the Python programming language. After evaluating it and making a LED blink, there were a couple other LED projects I wanted [...]

Even though the world of software defined radio started out as a Linux-only endeavor, several recent software releases have put the ball fully into the court of OS X users. [hpux735]‘s new Cocoa Radio release provides a (nearly) fully functional software defined radio for anyone with a USB TV tuner and a mac. Earlier this week, we [...]

[Blark] picked up a couple of Commodore 64 machines on Craig’s List so that he could play around with the SID chips inside. But there’s some other fun stuff in there and his attention was drawn to the PROM which stores the kernel. He thought it would be a fun adventure to build a ROM [...]

TV Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 23th (23C3) 2006 Abstract: It is possible and desirable and fun to invent and create technologies that help our world. Have you ever wanted to shut off a TV that was annoying you in a public place? My extraordinarily popular invention, TV-B-Gone has made it fun to turn off TVs in restaurants, pubs, airports... Using my invention TV-B-Gone as a demonstration, I'll talk about the following interrelated topics: the inventing process, technical details about how TV-B-Gone works, how to have fun changing the world, using cool inventions as a fabulous way to be an effective media-whore, as well as some possibilities for living a fulfilling existence on our modern world. And I'll have plenty of TV-B-Gone remotes with me.

barcode Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 24th (24C3) 2007 Abstract: The talk focuses on 1D and 2D barcode applications with interference possibilities for the ordinary citizen. Ever wondered what is in these blocks of squares on postal packages, letters and tickets? Playing with them might have interesting effects, reaching from good old fun to theft and severe impact. Barcodes have been around for ages, but most of the time were used as simple tags with a number. The rise of 2D barcodes started to put them into customer hands as authentication, authorization, payment method and other arbitrary data transport. The implicit trust in them is enormous. The talk gives a very quick intro into barcodes and then proceeds to review the contents of selected samples, including their usage in the real world. This is going to be fun, tool release included.

[GranTotem] is delighted by the sparks put out when a capacitor is rapidly discharged. But he’s not impressed at the relatively slow process of connecting them to a power supply for a recharge. So he built this auto-charging station for his capacitors that provides a shockingly good time almost continuously. Check out the video to see what we mean. We always like [...]

[programing4fun] has been playing around with his Kinect-based 3D display and building a holographic WALL-E controllable with a Windows phone. It’s a ‘kid safe’ version of his Terminator personal assistant that has voice control and support for 3d anaglyph and shutter glasses. When we saw [programming4fun]‘s Kinect hologram setup last summer we were blown away. By tracking a user’s [...]

[Dominik] built a fun musical toy for his daughter [Anna]. It’s a jukebox that lets her play her favorite tunes using RFID tags to select between them. The project is simple, yet robust. The enclosure is a wooden craft box that you can pick up for a couple of bucks. Inside there’s an Arduino with [...]

Part of the fun with old computers is playing some old school games, and while you could play them with a keyboard it is much more fun with a joystick. You can get old joysticks all day long on auction sites, but you have to watch out. Some are digital, which wont work for many [...]

It’s a fun time to design your own MP3 player, lovingly adding in features to a meticulously crafted user interface. But sometimes you just want a quick and cheap way to add music to a project.

Here’s a fun art installation which you might run into downtown. It’s called the Dilemmabox and lets you pull a rope to up or down vote a question.

GPS receivers may be available for well under $100 these days, but what’s the fun in buying one when you can build it yourself? According to [Andrew], the creator of this device, he was inspired by Matjaž Vidmar who developed a GPS receiver from scratch over 20 years ago. His article can be found here [...]

QR codes are everywhere these days, from being printed onto receipts to chiseled into granite tombstones. [Will] came up with a way to modify existing QR codes, and his hack has the potential to cause quite a bit of harmless mischief. [Will]‘s hack involves a little photo editing, transparency film, and some white-out/Liquid Paper/Tippex. After the ‘target’ [...]

Many of you may have seen these fun little toys in museums or possibly even in school. Instructibles user [brazilero2008] takes us through the process of constructing one on our own.

R/C cars can be tons of fun, but sometimes the fun runs out after awhile.

He built an HTML5 application for his iPad, which allows him to [...]

As every kid quickly finds out, sledding in the winter is awesome until you have to trudge back up to the top of the hill. If your sledding run is reasonably short, this isn’t a problem, but if you sled on huge hills like [Josh], you need to figure something out. He had a go [...]

If you’re not familiar with a slide whistle, just [...]

[Ben's] introduction to microcontrollers was this fun little gift he calls the “tilty cube”. It is an acrylic box with 3 LEDs mounted inside that changes color based off of how you tilt it.

[Pat Metheny] has a robot armada backing him up when he performs on stage. They’re going on tour and he’s done an interview explaining his mechanical band.
