Instead of waiting for those Intel Macs to ship, you could just transform your XP PC in to a Mac, well- at least the look and feel. These are 7 steps to do just that. My pal Lenn did this awhile back, and people used to ask if his Sony laptop was some weird new Mac or something… Link.
Here’s a HOW TO on making those sturdy board books people tend to give kids when they’re younger…Cut 5″x5″ boards from pressed cardboard. I used Bienfang illustration board but any pressed (not corrugated) cardboard that’s about 1/16″ thick will do. You’ll need enough for the interior pages, plus the front and back cover. Round two of the corners…To protect the pages from smudging, cover them with clear adhesive sheets. I used JM laminating sheets. Link.
MAKE pal Brendan Dawes just cooked up the coolest video hack, ever. As I twist the Play-Doh and take bits away, the film reacts accordingly in real-time. Add too much Play-Doh and the film rapidly speeds up. An intimate connection is made between the user and the media. Every action has a reaction in the digital space. No scary buttons to press. No instructions to read. It’s just Play-Doh. [via] Link.
This is what you get when you assemble and rewire 4 of those battery operated pot scrubbers together – a power hand washer for stubborn stains. It looks like they’re all wired up to one power source and operated with a foot pedal. Thanks Trevor! Link.
We posted about the Computer of a Stick from Fingergear– it’s a $149 USB drive preloaded with Linux, office apps, internet tools, etc…I had planned on posting up the Do-it-yourself version for under way under $149, but Erik can Kempen sent his version in to us. You can pick up a drive for under $25, download all the free software and make your own, here’s how… Link.
Expect someone to make a DIY version soon, but this is really neat. Cellpod is a quick attach – quick release tripod for your cell phone camera. Now you can take a nicely framed shot just like a traditional camera and actually get in the picture yourself. Cellpod weighs 2 ounces and can fit in the palm of your hand. It is easy to use and easy to carry. [via] Link.
This fellow made a prom night tux from a ton of Coke cans. Not only is the entire tux made from Coke cans, but the creator of this fine attire made a corsage for his date, nicely done. Thanks Kaden! See also duct tape prom dresses… Link.
