Tuffa typer gör sin tangiabrännare själv. Inte för att de behöver det, utan för att de kan.
Here’s a robot which is more fun than useful, and it plays guitar. Meet “Crazy J. Be sure to check out the sound clips; Layla sounds pretty impressive and not at all too synthetic!
PS: This appeared yonks ago but i never got around to give it proper visibility then.
James Hardy has a set of pages on how to create water rockets, a rather nifty launcher (with pressure-gauged pump at safe distance), and how to equip the rocket with an on-board camera. Nifty. On-board videos included, of course.

tickles my geekness — to make me want to learn how to knit! Her knit DNA model has been a hit among her friends, and now she shares her knitological knowledge to the rest of you.
Update: The DNA model is not appropriate for teaching your toddler about the building blocks of life, since it’s left-handed! Not knowing anything about knitting, i wonder if it’s easy to make the knit DNA strand spin the right way…

Spiffy. Mike Walters built himself a budget Mellotron with fourteen parallel Walkmans (walkmen?) which he, logically, calls the Melloman. The Melloman costs less than a Mellotron and thank heaven, weighs less than a Mellotron. It doesn’t however have the credibility of a Mellotron, but then, that probably is not the driving force of a man who makes instruments for Devo…
Unlike the Mellotron, the Melloman works with 60 minute tapes, so you can play notes longer than the original eight seconds, but then again, you’d have to rewind the Melloman after playing a decent prog track. On the tapes, Mike has sampled original Mellotron sounds, and it all sounds rather authentic for such a device!
