Of all the April Fools pranks that I came across today, the Stealth USB CapsLocker was my favorite. The tiny AVR-driven USB device sends random caps lock keypresses to a PC via a USB interface. The user will see their caps lock light come on from time to time and think they’ve accidentally hit that […]

Constructed of 100% titanium alloy, nothing less than a level forty-two spell of ultimate cutting will break the Defendius lock open. Really, just […]
Thomas will be showing off (and playing) the electronic drum @ Maker Faire, he writes… A guitar string is suspended above four strips of aluminum tape. When struck with a drum stick, the string touches the aluminum tape, closing an electric circuit that triggers an electronic drum. Foam covering the PVC pipe softens the blow […]
