Can-Tastic! – Old School Communication for your Smartphone

A tin can phone that plugs into your computer, cellphone or tablet- and works! Yes, you can actually talk to people with it- we keep calling our friends.

This is a project found on KickStarter that has an interesting view on mobile communication. they are still quite a bit away from raising the required funds, but I do like the idea enough to make a mention.

Since an image speaks more than a thousand words…

more on their Kickstarter page or in this wired article.

New Series of Pinhole Photos Ready

Finally! I managed to pick up the last film that I made with the Pinhole camera after the last modifications I made to it.

As you can read on the Pinhole Photography Experiments page, I made a few modifications to it. The main one being a new and smaller pinhole (now approx Ø 0.3mm). The results are visible and the sharpness of the photos is now a lot better. Also I can now compare well the timings and the results to see how far off the timings are. Strangely I need a lot less time for the better pictures (more definition and nicer colors).

I have added the page from my notebook here so you can have a look at the time calculations and light situations these pictures where made in.

Here are the resulting pictures:

DIY Project – Animated GIF Player

Here’s an interesting DIY Project for the weekend! From the hands of Crap is Good I found a well documented project for a real-world animated GIF player.

It contains a bit of electronics, but nothing too scary. Have fun!

I’ll be having a look if I can achieve a similar device with LEGO Mindstorms.

Addition to the Site: Latest Tech Podcasts

On the right column, I’ve added a list that displays the latest Tech Podcasts from several sites.

For now, I list the ones from:

“Gweek is a weekly podcast where the editors and friends of Boing Boing talk about comic books, science fiction and fantasy, video games, board games, tools, gadgets, apps, and other neat stuff.”
The first magazine devoted entirely to DIY technology projects, MAKE Magazine unites, inspires and informs a growing community of resourceful people who undertake amazing projects in their backyards, basements, and garages. They also have a great youtube Channel and a ųTorrent app that will keep you up to date.
WIRED is the first word on how ideas and innovation are changing the world.
The BBC’s flagship tech TV show. On BBC Breakfast Sat 0645, Sun 0745; News Channel Sat0130, Sat/Sun1130, 1530 in the UK. Also on BBC World News, & iPlayer.
The Boagworld show is the longest running web design podcast and has something for everybody, whether you are a designer, developer or website owner

 

As soon as any other interesting ones appear, or come to my attention, I will add these to the list. You can hit the small RSS iconRSS next to the title to add the complete stream to your RSS Reader, Download software, etc.

It was quite easy to create a single RSS Stream using Yahoo pipes, I’ll post about that soon!
