Clever! I wonder if this would allowed on a plane. This is a tale of my new daily-use computer. It’s a full-function pc, running Windows XP Pro, with an amd athlon xp 3200+ cpu, 768 mb of ram, 3 monitor ports, plenty of usb ports, and a built in 10/100 switch. And it’s a suitcase. It has a handle. It has two latches. I take it to work with me every day, and take it home every night. All it doesn’t have is a CD Drive. Here is its story. Thanks Chris! Link.

How 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.
This 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.

Make Flickr photo pool member mattadata writes “This is the hack I performed to get my alarm clock inside of my lamp for a clean night-stand appearance“. Now mattadata can just glance over to see the clock, control it- all without anyone seeing an unsightly clock. Neat project, expect to see this in your local MegaMart in 3, 2, 1… Link.
