A reader left a comment on my DIY Cricket bat project and he was saying that this weekend is the zombie themed Portland (Maine) anime convention. So if your in the area you might want to grab some brains and head on over…

Problem Light (Steampunk edition)
Very nice execution of this project.
Think of a smoke alarm…but more general.
So, as I began plotting my own problem light, in the Venture Bros style, my friend told me she was redoing her living room steampunk-style.
I began to wonder, how do you do a late 1800s LED…and I ran to scribble a drawing.
The photoset of the build is quite detailed and lends itself to being easily reproducible, it would be a fun project for a long weekend.

DIY Camcorder
This is one of those projects that makes me want to call in sick and dive into my boxes of junk and build something!
I have always wanted a camcorder for myself and not just any camcorder. I wanted one a bit like a professional broadcast camcorder, where I would be able to mount ad-ons like pre-amps, lights and all the other ever so cool stuff you’ll see professionals packing. However I’m not about to pay the horiffic price of a Red Camera . So let’s just build one…

Neverlate 7-day Alarm Clock
I saw this on ThinkGeek today:
Setting each daily alarm is as easy as oversleeping. Just turn the top inner knob to the day, and rotate the top outer wheel until the proper time is displayed. Advance the knob to the next day and repeat. Once all the alarms are set, you’re good to go. Get the notice that tomorrow’s class or early meeting has been cancelled? Not a problem – just turn off tomorrow’s alarm, and leave the rest of the week active. Each alarm is really that independent!
I need one of these… If anyone would like to send me one drop me a line at the contact address on the right and I’ll be forever grateful to you.
Pointless Taco Bell Post
I happened to come across a stash of taco Bell hot sauce condiment packets today. Am I the last one to notice the little saying that are printed on them? Maybe not entire philosophical discourses like what can be found on cups of the fashionably prices cups of java at Starbucks. More like little quips. (I better be nice to Starbucks, I might have to get a second job there soon. I love your coffee! My loan was approved so I’ll be over in the morning for a cuppa.) Anyway, I decided to share some of the corporate cleverness that comes from Taco bell…
