I don’t know about where you live, but here in Indiana it has been scorching hot for weeks (months?) on end. Everyone I know is trying to think of new ways to keep themselves cool during these hot days. Here’s a cheap way to use some everyday items to make a really cheap A/C unit.

I grew up with asthma, and had several inhalers growing up, all is well now, but I know how it feels to all of the sudden not be able to breath normally. Well apparently my inhalers were a considerable luxury, especially when I was younger and my inhaler had an attached spacer.
The problem is that [...]
I’ve always been a little intrigued by the Segway. I’m fairly sure that even if I could afford one, I wouldn’t actually be caught dead riding one, let alone throwing down the cash required for one. If you don’t mind being seen on one and have some spare time and money on your hands, you [...]
I’ve come to learn that I hate car CD players. I probably just have horrible luck, but every time I go and drop some cash on a decent one it craps out on me after about six months. However, the very first one that I got back in 2001 still works to this day, which [...]
Someone has taken their spare time and created printable versions of 3 different Super Mario Brothers scenes. They look pretty good, I am especially fond of the first level castle one.
I can distinctly remember trying to maximize my jump height just because you got more points the higher you jumped. The most recent one is [...]
Well if Apple was ever looking to get into the flip phone market it seems they already have a new product designer ready to go to work. All he needs are a lot of 5G iPods, some Qualcomm chipsets, and some cutting tools.
No it’s not a phone, but he did do a [...]
They are sold in a kit from Edmund Scientific and can do tons of things. Apparently, once you assemble it, it already works in three very basic modes.
Those modes are obstacle avoidance, sound control, and following a line. Using a Windows-based PC you can connect the bot via a serial cable and use the included [...]
Man, LEGOs are awesome, there’s just nothing that you can’t build out of them, except maybe a space shuttle, but I’m sure one of these days someone will build one of those too. As you might have guessed, someone’s built something really cool from the tiny bricks. This time it’s a fully-functional Guitar Hero controller.
I’m a do-it-yourself kind of guy, however, I never have, nor will I likely ever assemble a craft that can I can either drive on the highway or fly. If you’re a braver soul than I, you might want to check out the Super Sky Cycle.
Do you know how hard it is to come up with a headline explaining a device that is a mint tin with one game only installed in it? Don’t forget to mention the fact that said self-contained RPG has only three things protruding from the tin, a DB9 connector, a switch, and a video jack?
