Pesky trespassers, beware! This USB missile launcher is outfitted with a radar that picks up enemy movement in its field of vision. The instructions to make one are provided with a circuit board layout and a free download of the C# code to run it. Just plug this missile launcher into your PC and you’ll be scanning for Charlies in to time.
There are plenty of software-based guitar solutions for guitarists but how many of them are open source? Very little, to be quite frank. Enter OpenStomp, an open source FX pedal solution for developers and players. The model above, the Coyote-1, can hook up to Windows so parameters can be edited on the fly. Sounds a lot like a MIDI-based solution that users can dive further into.
It may be open source but it still can’t turn you into Eddie Van Halen if you just plain suck. Remember, practice makes mediocre.
Are you that guy who needed 30 lives to beat the original Contra? We know you and so does Google apparently. Google has taken your favorite cheat code of all time (you sly bastard) and integrated it into Google Apps.
To check out the Easter Egg, you’ll need to login to your Google account, bring up Google Reader (Ryan confirmed this) and chill for a second. After the chill, enter in the Konami Code (UUDDLRLRBA), kick back and watch.
Oh and no one could beat that fucking game without 30 lives, so don’t fret.
You could be the biggest nerd ever and still have trouble telling someone the time with this watch. I mean just because you still play Doom doesn’t mean you can form sentences in binary code, right? Fine, I’ll admit it. I’ve been too lazy as of late to learn binary. That’s why you deserve this fine Binary Watch from a company no one’s ever heard of.
The watch tells time via two rows of LED lights that are either on or off. The top row is the number of hours and the bottom, the number of minutes. It’s water resistant in case you spill a bottle of JOLT all over it and can probably take a bit of a beating during a heated LAN party. Just remember to brush up on binary before plunking down $200 on it.
