Make pal Jason Striegel is looking for testers for his new app – PhotoPlug allows your Windows Mobile phone to display photo slide shows right on your home screen. It’s a very cool, must-have for Smartphone owners. If you own a working, unlocked 2002 or 2005 Smartphone, please contact me at inquiries at virtuoffice dot com. I need a couple of testers and in exchange I’ll send you a free copy of the latest version. Link.
NovySan sent in this list of winners from the designboom’s RE-think + RE-cycle contest earlier this year. There were 2418 designers from 82 different countries that participated. I could spend the entire day looking at these to get project ideas. The winner was a very nice watering add-on for a discarded water bottle. Link.
Interesting idea on how one could create a DIY, take anywhere drive in movie – In this digital day and age there are a lot of ways to enjoy movies. Computers, DVD players, portable video players and media centre computers are just some of the means through which your movie experience might come together, and consumer grade video projectors are getting better, cheaper and more portable by the day… Link.
Ron writes “A nice method for making your own longboard skateboards, and sliding gloves, etc. Very detailed instructions.” He’s right, I went through the pages and there are hundreds of pages on every type of build, from basic to building a press. Link.
Ben Heck, super duper console Maker made a Micro NES – a full NES for the palm of your hand, he writes “Sometimes my creations have elaborate origins, like “I’ve been working on the idea for 15 years” or it came to me one day in the bathroom. (Bathrooms and cars being places where I have most of my best “idea bursts”) But I’m sorry to say the NES Micro had no such “stroke of inspiration” behind it. Rather I just had an extra NOAC (NES-on-a-chip) Asian joystick game laying around and figured I may as well do something cool with it instead of letting it collect dust.” Thanks Unigamer! Link.
