AT-AT walker made from recycled PC parts
I don’t think official Imperial Walkers were made out of recycled parts. Perhaps they should be – this $450 Etsy product looks pretty cool – and it’s made entirely out of old PC parts. The main body was built out of power supply boxes. The head was forged from floppy disc drive housing and the […]
Phantom of the Floppera
Do you still have any old floppy discs hanging around? Let’s just say you have 3 1/2″ drives and two 5 1/4″ drives to go with those discs. Okay, let’ say you could connect those to a microntroller so you could interface with some MIDI sources via MIDI over USB (because it’s easier that way). […]

Extended PlayStation phone advert
There have been rumours of a PlayStation phone for a while now. Not just rumours but very real demand. Heck. I seriously wonder whether my next phone will be the joyous union of a) internet access and b) gaming. All the speculation was that it would be an Android phone. All the smart money was […]
