DIYs & Mods

It’s Friday and it’s 5:20pm. I’m about to head out to my birthday party in a bit. Do you want to stop me? Do you? Really? Well then try it, punk. I’ve got some knuckle dusters made from soap and I’m not worried in the slightest about breaking them on your head. Know why? I got two of these for ...

Oh boy. What a trainwreck. What a fanboy. What a character. Peep that sick Nintendo Fun Club t-shirt. And his DIY entertainment cabinet? Priceless. This dude is fucking serious about his Punch-Out! Link

Take one IBM PCjr, hook it up to the Internet, say a prayer and boom: you have yourself TwittJr. It displays three tweets on its 16-color display. The power of 4.77Mhz! Link

Confusing title? Absolutely, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. This here is a pumpkin, with the Super Mario Brothers 1UP mushroom carved out and an LED planted in the center. It looks sweet as hell, but even sweeter is that pumpkin they had to scoop out beforehand. Mmmm, pumpkin. Link

Look, I don’t know about you, but waveforms are the hottest thing on the planet right now. Everyone is rushing to Target and Walmart in an effort to get as many waveforms off the shelf as humanly possible. And while you’re at it, you might as well build one of these DIY oscilloscopes. They won’t rape your wallet and look ...

Using some scrap wood he had lying around, Seamster set forth and built his very own pinball table. Complete with working paddles, it uses an old mouse tracking ball and has plenty of ramps and other bonuses, just like the arcade version of the game. It’s not an easy build but there’s an Instructable available should you have the courage ...

Yup. Exactly what you probably thought. This is an Arduino made from paper instead of using a printed circuit board. Created by DIYer Guilherme, this Arduino is fully functional and is also the most inexpensive Arduino available. Want to design your own? Instructions are indeed available, my friend. Link [via]

Ok, so 3D Realms is pretty much dead. R.I.P. We can only assume that the long-rumored and partially-developed Duke Nukem Forever died with it. I’m not quite sure if anyone actually knew how far along the game was in its development. But if these renderings are any sort of clue, the game would have kicked ass. Former 3D Realms Art ...

As much as I would hate to share a hobby with my grandmother, this urban knitting graffiti project, Knitta Please, is almost cool enough for me to take up knitting. I said almost cool enough. A whole tree covered with a surface which resembles that scarf your aunt made you that one year. Now that’s taking crafting to a whole ...

Excuse the pun, but do Apple fans really give a “hoot” about owls? Sure, I suppose this Earbud Owl, made using a Epilog Zing laser cutter, does resemble the uber-geeky “O RLY?” macro, but that’s� about the furthest I can go with owl geekiness until I reach the point of obliviousness. Admittedly, this is a pretty neat idea. The owl’s ...
