Thursday Cool Links
Dave Hrynkiw
May 23, 2013
Well, it looks like we somehow managed to walk away from the Maker Faire unscathed. Going to the beach afterwards, though, has left us with some residual sunburns to suffer through. Thankfully, we got to return to some local weather that is wet, grey, and generally miserable. But enough of that! On with some neat-o link-os.

Linkbot, Create with Robots on Kickstarter At the Maker Faire we got to meet the creators behind this spiffy modular-based robotics system, and we are pleased to report that they are Grade A Awesome Dudes. We encourage you to check out their Linkbot project on Kickstarter - we think it's a pretty intriguing system that has a lot of potential. |

Sun & Cloud: Self-Generating Energy Digital Camera This nifty little camera by Superheadz Japan takes videos and pictures, and can be charged from either its solar panel, USB connection, or a hand-crank. Pretty impressive, considering its 3.0MP camera, LCD screen, and 30FPS video capabilities. |

DIY Binary Wristwatch Blogspot user Emanuele documented making his very own binary wristwatch. While the whole build is pretty neat, the use of ribbon cable for a watchband is pretty clever. |

Fuel: The World's Smallest Cellphone Charger by Devotec This tiny, tiny cellphone charger gives you an extra 20-30mins of talk time via micro USB. We're not sure if this is more impressive or adorable. |

Become a Three-Star Chef with an Augmented Reality Cooking Simulator The tech behind this device by the Tokyo Institute of Technology is pretty cool and wildly impressive, and not losing food to cooking mistakes is always a plus. But at the time, there can't be anything more disappointing than creating the perfect meal and not getting to taste it. |
We'll be sifting through some of our Make stuff during the weeks ahead, and hope to share some of the best stuff with you. In the mean time, we can't wait for our skin to turn back to normal colours instead of this lovely shade of I-forgot-to-put-on-sunscreen-pink.

Painted GraviTrack
We always enjoy seeing our products being modified, revamped and DIY-ed, as well as the results of these transformations. Our customer Vera Kark provided us with some thoughtful feedback on adding mechanical tweaks to improve our Solar GraviTrack build and documentation. She also painted the brown MDF of the machine. She used tempera paint on the wood components still in panelized […]

We all have family, in one form or another. Parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, friends, pets... In some cases, even a delapitated, 20 year-old Honda Civic lovingly referred to as Lou. It has rust in the rear quarter panels and the steering wheel squeeks when it gets cold, but things just wouldn't be the […]
