Telares en cajas
Estos telares en cajas de cartón me han robado el corazón. Están en el Museum of Contemporary Craft en Portland pero estoy segura de que pronto tendrán una versión parecida en el colegio de mis hijos.
Double Capacity MintyBoost with 4-AA Battery Holder Modification
Need a highly portable USB power source that can be replenished with readily available, common batteries? The MintyBoost from adafruit Industries is an awesome little kit that nets you a USB charger that runs on 2 AA batteries. This is a great thing because AA batteries are available anywhere and together with the MintyBoost can be used to power most USB devices when you find yourself in a situation with no other source of power. As a volunteer providing emergency communications for organizations that are deployed to disaster stricken areas I have been in this situation before. Keeping critical communications links operational in the field is a major mission success factor. Having a highly portable source of USB power to keep cell phones working is a valuable tool for the first responder. This charger does more then just provide the 5 volts required to charge USB powered devices. This battery holder modification is the primary subject matter of this instructable.

Editors Note: Guest Post by Betsy & Warren Talbot Let’s face it: We all have too much stuff. Whether it is the things you no longer need, the items you never got around to using, or the “treasures” thrust on you by well-meaning people, you are probably shrinking your living space with all that clutter. It’s more than simply buying nothing new. There are 3 steps you can take to finally let go of those items no longer working in your life. But before you start planning your next big holiday, let’s focus on 3 powerful strategies to let go of your possessions. Instead of Keeping Up with the Joneses, Keep Up with Your Dream: This is the classic mistake many people make. It’s like high school all over again as you struggle to keep up with what other people’s families have and how they spend their free time. To learn to be clutter free, adjust your focus to the ultimate dream you have for your life and not what the couple down the street just bought. Remove Mental Clutter Before Physical Clutter:

Making Paper Bricks in India
At MAKE we have covered a type of paper brick before, but it was used simply as a fire starter. Professors Rahul Ralegaonkar and Sachin Mandavgane of the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology in India (VNIT) have come up with a process to make paper bricks designed for creation instead of destruction. It started when they visited a paper recycling plant in 2009. They learned that 15% of the material that went through the plant was piled up into an unsightly sludge and sent to a landfill. For those not familiar, this is a prime example of one of the perils in recycling as opposed to upcycling. Recycling results in materials being turned into products of a lower quality than their predecessors, while upcycling preserves the quality of the product through many generations. Raleganokar and Mandavgane decided to take some of that sludge back to their lab and play around with it along with students over the summer. Related
DIY Light Transmitting Concrete (+ HD Video)
Make sure to check out my blog! I'm going to show you (as best as I can) how to make light transmitting concrete. Google it, and you will be amazed at how beautiful it is! I was desperate to get my hands on some...but considering the cost, I decided to make some with stuff I already had around. This material has the strange effect of looking shiny or sparkly...but it's dull concrete at the same time! If this material interests you, check this article out: Here is the HD video: Here is the normal video:

Niffo's borne d'arcade
Ma borne d'arcade "maison" Introduction C'est sous la pression que je me vois dans l'obligation de vous présenter ma borne d'arcade. La motivation de la construction de cette chose - que ma compagne regarde encore comme une concurrente et a eu énormément de mal à accepter et pour cause : 1m80, 100 Kg ! - n'est ni plus ni moins que la frustration d'un petit garçon à qui l'on ne donnait presque jamais (snirfl ...) une pièce pour mettre dans le "space-invaders" ou le flipper du coin. Le premier jeu qui m'a provoqué cette frustration fut certainement "Rock'n Rope" sur lequel j'ai fait au moins 3 parties en un été :'( Le second jeu pour lequel j'ai rêvé un jour d'être riche était "Out Run". 1. Profitant d'un été 2002 avec trois semaines très light au niveau boulot et de l'absence de ma compagne, je me lance dans l'étude active du projet. 2. 2.1 La caisse en elle même Les planches sont assemblées à angle droit autour de tasseaux carrés de 25mm. 2.2 Le panneau de contrôle 2.3 Finitions 5 Liens

Build your own pocket mini computer
The Pocket Mini Computer is a small and versatile computer running a full featured BASIC interpreter with 32K of ram. It will work with a standard VGA monitor and PC compatible keyboard. Because the Pocket Mini Computer has its own built in microSD memory card slot and BASIC language you need nothing more to start writing and running BASIC programs. A Wii(TM) compatible gameport as well as stereo audio output create a compelling enviroment to write programs and games. I'm the designer of the Pocket Mini Computer. I wanted to create a product which would give those in the younger generation a chance to see what computing was like in the early days before the PC. The Pocket Mini Computer has been a labor of love from board design to preparing the BASIC programming language. You'll be able to do more than enjoy a simple "HELLO WORLD" program.
