“ReadyMade is a bimonthly print magazine for people who like to make stuff, who see the flicker of invention in everyday objects — the perfectly round yolk in the mundane egg”… and now they have a blog! Looks like it’s off to a great start! Go check it out – Link.

Janos’s awesome case mod! “I already had a powerful computer setup so I wanted something more quiet, small and low power consumptioning to function as a basic home server. I love to tinker with hardware etc. so I wanted to make something quite unique for a case. I have seen many nice and creative cases before but none of them were made out of a bottle. In November I bought an industrial 3.5″ SBC board (with Socket370). For the project I selected a 1.5 litre Ballantine’s bottle for case. That was the proper size and shape for the task at hand.” [via] Link.

Greg from DIY live writes “I know that starting out in Electronics can be intimidating. There is a lot that you have to understand in order to really get a grasp of electronics. Sure, you can find some schematics, and put them together, but without understanding what resistor to put with a LED, and why you pick that resistor for that LED, then you can’t really do much except for just copy other people’s designs. I decided to find a few links for everyone to go to that will help them understand circuits, and circuit design.” Link.
Chris writes “You can save money on an expensive hard drive enclosure, by adding a connector for a cooling fan, replacing some LEDs, and lengthening a power cord. A relatively simple mod, it fixes almost everything that makes this cheap enclosure so cheap, using only materials found in a nerdy basement.” Link.
