Laptop Picture Frame

Posted on by

Channel Nine has a new “citizen engineers” section. These techies have come up with a DIY way to create a laptop picture frame. Let’s take a look:

The following is the detailed plan that I wanted to accomplish on my first day of the project:

1. Pull all hardware out and throw away the covers
2. Study the hardware modules in the laptop
3. Select the modules that are necessary for the picture frame
4. Build a holding mechanism for the selected modules
5. Build an aesthetically pleasing picture frame around the holding mechanism and the modules
6. Assemble the picture frame
7. Test

It sounds simpler than it is…..

Really?! Cause it doesn’t sound that simple…

Flash Drives

ArsTechnica has a nice round up of some current flash drives (Flash drives are those key chain looking things that have a USB connector on one side and hold 32-512 Meg of info) if you are in the market for one. I personally like the flash drives that have MP3 player built in.

Tron’s Fat Brother

Here’s a funny site about a guy’s journey to be the coolest Tron friend type person there is. At a costume party at least. The pics are funny but so is some of the text so don’t miss out on great quotes like these:

One note: Splicing el-wire is possible, but not something I’d recommend doing if there’s any alternative. In retrospect, I should have bought longer kits for the arm guards and Frisbee.

It turned out to be easier than I thought, largely because acrylic paint is easy to work with. It went exactly where I told it to go. The learning curve was in figuring out how to tell it.

Kitchen Snow

Apparently my dog KC thought that I left her alone for a bit too long today. Or perhaps she was just hiding the several bones that quite honestly were well hidden. Or perhaps she just didn’t like the crinkly sound her new bed made. Whichever. When I came home from work, I discovered snow all over the kitchen. I probably should have been mad, but it just seemed pretty damn funny instead.
