Here’s another great app for your pre-2.0 PSP or your newly downgraded PSP. Team Xboxopensource has released the Apple II Portable emulator for PSP. Apple II Portable is a homebrew application which will emulate the Apple II on your PSP. Link.
Here’s a great list of applications you can download and run off any USB drive or music player like the iPod. I usually keep my iPod nano filled with applications so I can use any system, but still have access to all the programs I need. It’s also handy to have a toolset when you need to fix computers. Link.
Nicholas Negroponte, the co-founder of the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, detailed specifications for a $100 windup-powered laptop targeted at children in developing nations. Negroponte, who laid out his original proposal at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January, said MIT and his nonprofit group, called One Laptop Per Child, is in discussions with five countries–Brazil, China, Thailand, Egypt and South Africa–to distribute up to 15 million test systems to children.

Awhile back I made a hand charger for an iPod shuffle, here’s another really good project that uses a hand cranked flash light to charge an iPod mini. Since the project uses a USB cable to charge (and eventually) just 5V you could use this for many other devices (PSP, cell phones, etc…) Link.
This site shows how you can set up your own SETI receiving station using nothing more than an old C-band satellite TV dish, general coverage receiver and your PC. With it, you can also do radio astronomy as well. Can’t beat that! Thanks Scott! Link.
This is a really impressive hack – this site shows how to put a Griffin AirClick remote inside an iPod mini so you can remote control the iPod without needing to pop the receiver on top. Link.
Ultralights have sometimes been described as the “motorcycles of the air,” which the new Flite Bike really is, combining a Honda Reflex motorcycle with a Buckeye powered parachute. You buy the bike, and then get them to install the kit. Thanks Doug. Link.
