HOW TO run Windows and Linux on the Sony PSP

HOW TO run Windows and Linux on the Sony PSP

Psplinux Thumb I need to try this, but it looks like this is the real thing…run Windows 95 and Linux on the PSP. I’ve done it by porting the excellent open source x86 emulator Bochs. Windows 95 actually runs quite well but don’t expect it to be a speed demon. It takes about 10 minutes to boot but afterwards it’s pretty usable. I was able to do things like: open “My computer” and browse the virtual hard drive, complete a whole game of Minesweeper and run various other applications. Now you too can get your Minesweeper fix on the go :) [via] Link.

HOW TO Gothic Martha Stewart

Images-1-1This site sprung from the hypothetical question: “What if Martha Stewart was a goth?” For the uninitiated, Martha Stewart is a phenomenally successful domestic arts champion and stylemaker who advocates an upscale but not ostentatious style of living which has a lot to do with making things yourself and finding new uses for the old, instead of just buying everything new.

The-Quick-Brown-FoxHektor consists of a suitcase which contains two electric motors, a spray-can holder, toothed belts, cables, a strong battery and a circuit board which is connected to a laptop and controls the machine. The motors that are mounted onto the wall suspend the can holder through the toothed belts and define its position by changing the length of these belts. Thanks Doug! Link.
