Here's a follow-up to my backyard coffee roasting post. All around great makers Mikey Sklar and Wendy Jehanara Tremayne made this video showing how to roast coffee with an airpopper.

Plan-K-Troniks posted a schematic of a nice little 8-step sequencer for use with the Gakken Analog Synthesizer kit. Their description is in Japanese, but not such a problem if your familiar with the language of electronics - MICRO ANALOG SEQUENCER FOR SX-150
SX-150 Analog Synthesizer Kit.

Here is an interesting talk with Mitch Altman who is the creator of the TV B Gone. It is nice to see that he is genuinely interested in sharing his electronic passion with others.

A while ago I converted a 1934 folding camera into a USB web cam. I brought it with me to Maker Faire Austin 2008 and a lot of people seemed to like it.

The Auduino project turns Arduino into a PWM based sound synthesizer - Sound is generated by playing the same noise ('grain') repeatedly at very high speed.

Ok makers! We're going to kick off some holiday gift guide action for 2008! First up - $20 and under ELECTRONICS KITS, we know holiday gift budgets are shrinking - a lot of us will have more time than money next year, so more than ever - if you're going to spend your hard earned cash consider spending it on something that gives back.

This hack shows how to stuff a Nintendo Gameboy inside the housing of a TI-83 series calculator. We've seen the cool things these calculators can be hacked to do, but we haven't seen someone take it this far.

I just bought a pair of Sennheiser headphones that isolate the outside sound so that the music you hear is crystal clear, the drivers are also very far into your ear.
