This is a mechanical/computerized dry erase board that works almost exactly like an etch and sketch. . . although this prototype does not show the Z axis, I have instructions and a working demo to demonstrate how you can make a functional Z axis.

I've been visiting Instructables once in a while, and I realized it was time to re-start building stuff. I used to unmount-mod my "toys" when I was a kid - teenager (like blowing out a little train and putting its mottor in a GI-Joe like helicopter to spin its blades, cool), and at some point of my life I forgot how amusing that was.

Bruce Land is showing off the hard work of his students in his Cornell University ECE 4760 Designing with Microcontrollers class. I hope you have a long lunch hour since it will take you a long time to go through all 35 projects.

Bert Simon has taken papercraft to a whole new level. His website has several other portraits and a lot of great photography. You can even download a 12 page PDF and make a paper clone of the artist.

I wasn't able to make it to last years DEFCON hacker/security conference, and DEFCON 16 isn't until later this summer. As you can imagine, I've been a little impatient for a good ol' info-security paranoia fix.

Here is a neat idea to keep some of your old video tapes out of the landfills. The Video Tape USB Hub will give you a cool looking place to plug in your USB cable thumbdrive.
