There are times when I’m working on a project and soldering just isn’t an option. Maybe I’m away from my workbench or at an entirely different location collaborating with another artist. I wish I had known about Wire Glue, which is a prototyper’s wet dream. You simple glue wire together with it and it’ll conduct electricity to keep your circuit ...

Throwing OS X on a Hackintosh netbook is nothing new. Just grab an MSI Wind and follow one of the thousands of examples on the Internet.

Yeah, I could tell you all about it, or you could read it for yourself at this Englishman‘s fine website, v12diablo.co.uk. He’s even posted instructions on ...

Alright, alright, you got me. The base is made out of concrete but these lamps are still cool as hell. Perfect for ambient lighting in your game room or for a nightclub/bar. There’s even a guide on building your own should you be up for the challenge. The body of the lap is formed by two thin rods folded in ...
