[Jacques] sent us this little project he has been working on. It is an amazingly cheap USB 2 chanel scope. The total cost of the project was around 5 Euros.

When I shut down my computers in my workroom there is an strange silence. It’s nice but feels strange since there is usually the whir of computer fans in the background.

This is a very simple hack that allows you to plug a guitar or microphone into you computer. It can't possibly cost more than a couple of dollars, and it shouldn't take more than an hour to complete.
