Alspix’s how to on making a matchbox pinhole camera “My first couple of 35mm pinhole cameras attempted to be panoramic, wide angle jobbies but this time I thought it would be nice to get back to the classic square format. Here’s my latest contraption which uses 35mm film to provide square images of 24 x 24mm. Using this size means that you can get up to 50 exposures on a standard roll of 36 exposure film.” [via] Link.

MAKE Flickr photo pool member Jay Dugger has a photo of “TiVO” for you car, it looks like he turned a personal recorder – “The DejaView Camwear (a device that records constantly) into a BlackBox for cars.

Great interview on You-review.net…“The only difference between a man and a boy is the price of his toys said a wise person many decades ago – and little did they know about the 21st century addiction with gadgets and toys. One man who has fueled this addiction, and at the same time helped bring uber-expensive technology to consumers has been the robotics rock star Mark Tilden. Mr Tilden, a real life rocket scientist, is the creator of hundreds (if not thousands) of robots, based on the simple principles of BEAM ( Biology, Eletronics, Aesthetics and Mechanics).” [via] Link.
