PicoCricket -arty electronics for kids…
I saw these last week at the Exploratorium, and they’re amazing – “A Cricket is a tiny computer that can make things spin, light up, and play music. You can plug lights, motors, sensors, and other devices into a Cricket, then program them to react, interact, and communicate. For example, you can make a cat and program it to purr when someone pets it. Or you can make a birthday cake and program it to play a song when someone blows out the candles. The PicoCricket Kit is similar to the LEGO MINDSTORMS robotics kits. MINDSTORMS is designed especially for making robots, while the PicoCricket Kit is designed for making artistic creations with lights, sound, music, and motion.” [via] Link.

Seth’s Atari meets Xbox 360 mod on Informit.com “The Xbox 360 represents a significant step forward in gaming and home media integration. The Atari 2600 was major step in gaming and home entertainment, so it seems appropriate that Seth Fogie modded his Xbox 360 to fit inside a 2600 case to create the Atari-Xbox 3600. This article shows you how he did it.” [
Joelsprayberry on Instructables writes “This is a DJ CD case turned upside down with 2 layers of hardibacker board (pegboard with no holes). I run an acoustic guitar through all of these pedals to create “live loops” so I needed to have an extremely quiet sound with no low hum or buzz. I ran George L’s audio cables and tons of 9volt power. I think this may be the most amount of pedals you can get into one space.”
