Another semester's worth of cool microcontroller projects has come to a close at Cornell University and Bruce Land sent us the results for the Spring 2008 ECE 4760 course:
Students in ECE 4760 at Cornell University were given the responsibility of choosing, designing and building a project using Atmel Mega32 microcontrollers.

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.

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.

Never been able to realize your artistic vision on the old grey screen? Neil's project may be of help - Anyone who has tried to use an Etch A Sketch knows that a good deal of co-ordination is needed in order to draw anything but horizontal and vertical lines.

Nowadays, usb hubs are getting smaller and smaller (and then, they fall behind your desk because the cable is heavier than the hub an then you have to crouch behind your computer to recover it) So I needed something better (of course, i could have simply glued it in place ) I got some old videotapes to throw away, and suddenly an idea hit me: I like the look of these old tapes, needed an usb hub that won't slide behind the desk, why not build an videotape usb hub? And some LEDs could be added to nearly everything, and an videotape forms no exception i think.
