motes.jpgHow many remotes do you have? Here comes photographic evidence that all the device manufacturers are out to get us. Eric posted his remotes…then others, and now I suspect we’ll have a new Flickr meme. So bring our your remotes, show’em if you got’em! And on a Maker note, what are you using (if any) to consolidate your remotes? Link.

WEB ARE YOU? Networked Emoticon Device

WEB ARE YOU? Networked Emoticon Device

interact05d.jpgThis is a pretty neat project from Mauricio Melo (there isn’t a how-to but I think it’ll be easy to replicate) It’s a networked emoticon device. You log onto it through the Internet and let your other significant at home know if something at work or at school has made you happy, sad, so-so, or upset. The devices are connected to the Internet through an Xport controlled by a Microchip that handles the basic communications. A series of switches reciprocally activate four LEDs that light the transparent emoticons. Via WMMNA. Link.

Is there anything LEGOs can’t do? The idea of building a working Rubik Cube has always appealed. Here the challenge is to create a mechanical device that has a number of degrees of freedom about a central point. It’s not easy! The cube consists of 12 edge pieces, 8 corner pieces and one central piece. All of these have to be interlocking, yet still be able to rotate about any axis at any time in any direction. Link.
