The ELP Laser Turntable plays records by beaming the laser at the grooves (no needles touche the record). There are a total of five lasers: two for the left and right groove walls, two for tracking groove pitch, and one for tracking groove warp. Sounds amazing, until I saw it was $18,999. I think we’ll need to a Make version! Link.
If you experimented with turning your PSP in to a web browser using the old Wipeout Pure trick, then here’s something else to try. PSP Hacks Forums show access files on the UMD or the Memory Stick from HTML. Perhaps this could be useful for some type of kiosk application…Link.
Here’s a LED pong game played right on the breadboard. The LED dot matrix is driven with time multiplexing. The columns are displayed one by one in rapid succession, giving the illusion that they are all lit at the same time. Source code and some photos to get your started. 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.
GBADev has an annual competition to create home brewed GameBoy games. Instead of giving out cash and flash cartridges the aim is to manufacture a batch of 500 cartridges with the top entries (a “multi-cart”) complete with cart sticker, manual and box. The cartridges will be manufactured by an “independent party” (not Nintendo). The cartridges are in, you can order them now. The games look great. Link.
Lots of things to put on your PSP. Here are official PSP versions of comics formatted for the PSP from Variance press (High and Lonesome, Last Orders and Semantics). Next up- Star Charts resized just for the PSP from the Mag-7 Star Atlas project, love this! And lastly, pimp out your PSP case- I hope someone makes a template and kit to do this. Link. Thanks Eric!
