Technology empowering cats! Cats should have the right to tweet! Or at least have a live video stream dedicated to their cat-like doings and goings. All with the help of Arduino Yun.This is just one of the many things (five is considered many, right?) that we have for you today:
|
Wooden Table Carved with Marble Tracks We don't just love techy crafts. Marbelous by Ontwerpduo is a wonderful piece of craftsmanship. (Via Colossal) |
 |
Arduino Yún Powered Cat Camera While "solar-powered data logging cat collar" in our header is merely a joke, an Arduino Yún powered cat camera has indeed been built by Hotte. (via Arduino Blog) |
 |
Spherical Glass Solar Device Charger A solar charger with dual axis tracking system by André Broessel of Rawlemon. Looks good, charges stuff and works as a nightlight. What else could you want? (via Designboom) |
 |
A Quick and Simple Filament Joiner for Multi-Color Prints 3D printing is fun and here's an easy way to join multicolored filaments to make it even brighter. (via Hackaday) |
 |
Fibre Optics Used in the Wings of the Olympic Doves This isn't something new, but we said "cool" links, not "new" links. And these definitely look really cool. |
I think there should be more cat-targeted technology in the world. There's already cat-entertaining marble-embedded tables, lit up doves, and multicoloured filament 3d printed cat toys, but we need cat-charging solar stations as well. I consider this a cat-rights-lobbying Parliament-worthy speech. Yes.

Well, I'm officially out of words, and again reverting to non-verbal expression. I already tried to interpretively dance the new product post before. That leaves me completely out of options here. So how about I sleep interpretively? Or breathe... Now, that's just plain weird. Better I sleepwalk then: 4-conductor, 20AWG ribbon cable (Blue, Green, Yellow, […]
