DISCLAIMER: I take no credit for this, I found the source code on the internet, compiled it, made a few changes and included the 1.1.4 Puzzles file, the new one was broken horribly, resulting in numerous un-playable levels. All credit goes to Adam Betts and Lucas Newman for creating this (and a little to [...]

All your pictures ARE in one library, you can see them all at once when you click on the word Library at the top of the left hand column.
iPhoto realizes that you would probably like to create albums to store your pictures in, albums with names that you create, and so for that reason, iPhoto [...]
Google Gadget that monitors Arduino sensor data

Matthew Karas sent us a hack for creating an iGoogle homepage interface for physical measurement devices. Using an Arduino and a python script, he found a clever way to send real-time sensor data to a Google Gadget, and it doesn’t even require having a web server.
I managed to hack up an arduino to upload data [...]

Jon Bennett created a nifty wireless telepresence bot out of a thrift store RC car, a Linksys WRT54GL router running the Open-WRT Linux firmware, a network camera, and a microcontroller. He’s built two variations: one controlled by a PIC microprocessor, and the other controlled by an Arduino. You can use whichever processor you [...]

Our friend Becky Stern posted a video on Craft today which shows you how to mold and cast small parts out of resin. It’s something anyone can do, and the process will allow you to make reproductions of small parts, something that could come in handy when you’re prototyping (or designing tiny custom army men).

A new "bigger" iPod

An Apple analyst was interviewed on CNBC today. The analyst mentioned that he thought there would be a "bigger" ipod announced sometime in mid September along with enhancements to the Macs.

I’ve been waiting since about 1999 so, uh, you know, any day now guys. I’ll just be waiting here in web developer hell trying to construct a cubic igloo.
There are [...]

Hackszine pal Patti Schiendelman tipped me off to the Beagle Board, a spartan little embedded platform, perfect for all things hackable. It’s based on the TI OMAP3 processor, which is packaged with 128MB of DDR RAM and 256MB of NAND Flash all on the single chip in the center of the board.
Instead of including things [...]
