As a devoted flea market hunter, I am always on the lookout for creative ways to display my finds. I like the bright pop of color in these DIY triangle shelves. They’d be perfect to display a tiny collection (or heck, just as decoration in and of themselves!).
As a promotion for TNT, BREAKFAST installed this incredibly large and fast flip dot display in Manhattan’s Herald Square. The 23 foot long display is 12 feet high and made up of 44,000 dots.
Very cool idea from Dan over at adafruit: Use an OLED display module to create working scale train schedules, plane schedules, TVs, or other scale flat-panel displays for your Lego models
Last September, I wrote about the Thingiverse “Cube Gears” phenomenon, briefly tracing the origin of user emmett’s Screwless Cube Gears through its evolution from Haruki Nakamura’s papercraft geared heart sculpture via user GregFrost’s printable Broken Heart thing. At the time, I really wanted to exhaust the graph of the cube gears / heart gears phenomenon, but didn’t have the available free time. Well, I finally got around to doing it.
Mark “352K” Rober wrote in with his latest project: an assembly of balloons with throwies inside, creating pixels in the sky. And nice call on tethering it so you can get those toxic coin cells back!
Cool, simple tutorial from one Kyle Wilson. Ingredients: One set drop-style handlebars, one matching quill stem, a short pipe nipple to match, a pipe flange, a few screws, and some bar-tape and -ends (or their improvised equivalents).
ITP student Rose Schlossberg attached dental mirrors to an armature on a head strap to make the user able to stare at his/her own eyes. As Rose puts it, “fall in love with yourself all over again.” It’s an interesting project, but I wouldn’t recommend trying to walk around with your eyes trained upon your own eyes.
