Impact

I’m looking forward to this one.

On April 13th–Friday the 13th–2029, millions of people are going to go outside, look up and marvel at their good luck. A point of light will be gliding across the sky, faster than many satellites, brighter than most stars.

Treading Where Gods Fear, Add a Keyboard and Ports to a C64 DTV

DTV

Oh, it was another banner day on MAKE today!!!
This guy has taken an iron to one of those little 30 in 1 Commodore 64 game units and added a keyboard to it! Not only that, but you can add a floppy drive to it! 1541 here I come!
I wonder if I can add an Ethernet controler to it, a Site Player maybe. Then I could use the C64 as a simple web server of sorts…

How to Make Holograms at Home

Holokit

I saw this in MAKE today, I have for years wanted to create my own holograms but every time I started getting into it I was always stopped by the film needed. I ran out of steam when I got to the point that I have to shell out the bucks for glass plates (Its been a while since I have tried it, maybe you can use cheaper film nowadays…)
Now I see this kit. It’s $139US and will make a transmission hologram in room light (!!!) using a red pen variety diode laser. Wow…. No lab required? I want to know how light fast the images are. This is freaking amazing!
The inventor says he is working on another version that is faster and won’t need a laser.
