Juicebox picture frame…
Simple and fun, make a cheap toy into a LCD picture frame, Joe writes – “So after a hectic day of soldering, desoldering, scratching out ideas and making new ones, I finally finished the digital picture frame I made out of a Juicebox. Just in time for my mother’s birthday. I had originally planned to integrate a USB SD reader/writer into the design, but scratched it out after I bridged two pins and could not find my desoldering bulb. Also, I was forced to make the matte inside the frame myself when I found out framing stores did not sell them at the sizes I needed. In the end I think it turned out fine though.” Link.
Ken writes “I work for a group at the University of Wisconsin that designs experiments in nanotechnology. While created with high school and/or college students in mind, the experiments may be interesting to your readers. Nanotechnology is a bit of a buzzword right now, and many people are surprised to learn that they can easily make things like nickel nanowires and organic light emitting diodes. The site includes materials lists and safety precautions. Full use of the site does require Quicktime.”

In this article, I will show you an easy way to use your stereo as computer speakers for a nice sound system at a very low cost.” Thanks Star! 
Heyrocker writes “This is a coffee table built from the playfield of a pinball machine. It is pretty easy to build and best of all, it lights up! It was inspired by a bar in Seattle called Shorty’s, which has tables similar to these in its booths.” Complete how-to on Instructables! 
Carpespasm writes “Here’s a tiny crt monitor harvested from a dead camcorder and hooked to a dvd player”. There are a dozen or so photos on the Flickr photo set to give you an idea of what’s involved – the procured CRT is powered from the DVD player’s battery. To watch the movie you look through a sight, it reminds me of the weird science computer Spock used.
