5 new MAKE AUDIO shows

iTunes just updated, so now you can get 5 new interviews from our DEFCON coverage. There’s an interview with Jason Scott, of Textfiles.com and who is also the director of the amazing new film THE BBS DOCUMENTARY. There’s an interview with Flexilis, a world record attempt on reading RFID tags from a distance. (The end result was a bit over 69 feet on top of the roof of DEFCON.) There’s an interview with one of the MAKERs of the “Bloodhound” gun, a low cost “gun” made from a Pocket PC and some off the shelf parts that can find rouge Wireless access points. There’s also an interview with one of the MAKERs who created the KegBot! It’s a linux-based beer dispensing / tracking system. And there’s an interview with Janus wireless and their 5 Wi-Fi card packet capturing Linux box. These are all “enhanced podcasts” with images and URLs! Click here and click SUBSCRIBE.

Wow, this sounds like a MAKE article! Our thoughts are with the Discovery crew! Once there, he’ll tug out the ceramic-fabric filler with his gloved hands. If that doesn’t work, he’ll use a makeshift hacksaw to cut away the material, which is sticking out about an inch from two spots near Discovery’s nose. The saw was improvised out of a blade, plastic ties, duct tape, Velcro and other items aboard the space station. [
I’ve been spending a lot of time in elevators lately, need to see if this really works- The designers of some elevators include a hidden feature that is very handy if you’re in a hurry or it’s a busy time in the building (like check-out time in a hotel). While some elevators require a key, others can be put into “Express” mode by pressing the “Door Close” and “Floor” buttons at the same time. This sweeps the car to the floor of your choice and avoids stops at any other floor. [
When plain photography isn’t enough, sometimes I will resort to shooting stereo images, as was the case with my Douglas C. Newell Paperboy trophy. If you feel like really out-nerding yourself, you can apply the same camera-shifting stereo shooting technique to your VR object photography.
This python script runs on Linux and harvests system stats, creating graphs and assembling them in a page suitable for viewing on the PSP. It also dynamically reloads the images through Javascript, creating a smoother user experience. Tested with firmware 2.00 only.
Home made, open source mp3 Player. The main goal of this project is to create an open design for a portable MP3 player, in both hardware and software. The secondary goal of this project is to make it as simple to construct, and as cheap, as possible. The design is based around the AVR Butterfly from Atmel.
