Charles Altmann is a Danish tinkerer who began this project with his interest in building an affordable home-made tonearm for his turntable. With its completion and dizzying low cost (~5$) he embarked on a project to create a complete turntable from scratch for his garage utilizing his electrical engineering skills and love of motorcycles.

A bit too extreme, a new legislation proposes the spying of French Web surfers in order to terminate the exchange of copyrighted material. Those terminated will also face some legal repercussions; those who wish to debate their termination will have to go through a long drawn out bureaucratic process. Stating the obvious violation of privacy,…

Apparently, demand for bandwidth is so hot that it might be possible that internet accessiblity from developed countries will be gridlock. Speeds, according to International Internet Alliance (IIA), will return to dial-up speeds if not enough money is used to upgrade the internet infrastructure. This could also impact feature start-ups that could potentially be the…

Hello, There is already a Basic Stamp command list in the folder, but I found this site useful as well. It gives very thorough explanations of all the different Basic Stamp commands and some projects to illustrate them. It might help.

What is disappointing about this item is that it doesn’t exist. It is just a concept model by some designer. Yet, it seems plausible and can be easily manufactured if there was a strong demand. The Natural Wave is a ceramic plate that fits over the radiator and keeps coffees, teas, pastries, and whatever morning…

On top of the piece having to be voluminous, there was also a need for the piece to use audio. The piece, using photo resistors and relays, read a roll of mylar…

In this project, Oren Horev hopes intends to, through changing their shape, computers and digital objects can provide the user with a clear understanding of their status, both tactilely and visually. The first object, InSync hard drive is cubed shaped, connects with the computer and reads/indicates the level of synchronization by twisting and misaligning its…

I really love this. It isn’t interactive in that it responds to your actions or an outside stimulus, but rather it forces you to interact with it through its diminutive scale. There are all kinds of jokes running through slinkachu’s (thats the name given on the artist’s blog) work, and if you want to catch…

Walter Kitundu, a sound artist, creates many instruments that are deserving of true works of art. Most of his work is based on phonoharps- turntables modified and retro-fitted with strings. They’re really nice to look at, even if the functionality of some of these turntables is sacrificed. Kitundu uses all sorts of materials, from wood…
