Mostly DIY & Fun Chit to do!

A kind of "Weird Science" Voice Controlled ChatBot
A Multi-Touch Screen Control similar to that demonstrated in "Minority Report" made from an ordinary (Wii)mote!
If you have something interesting & cool that you've done or want to try, email me the related links and I'll post it here!
Although not a construction project it certainly beats the heck out of any quad cycle - a "Paintball Panzer" also suitable for lazertag courses!  I've certainly thought about making something similar with a pinto or tempo engine just to get to work in the winter!  I hope that panzer has a heater!
Don't ask!   Ladies ONLY please!  I hope that your wife is a GEEK!  Let's not debate BT Vulnerabilities on this matter either!
Construction Ideas
Ready Made Toys
RCA/Thompson Cable Modem Cracking - This turns the modem into a "promiscuous mode" modem similar to a "promiscuous mode" network interface card (NIC), to where all traffic on the cable line can be seen with etherreal/wireshark & etherape.  This is intended to raise security concerns over cable/dsl broadband services.  I suspect many other cable/DSL modems are crackable also, from those that I have examined, such as 2Wire, Terayon, General Instruments/Motorola, for a few.
Portable cellular based WiFi Access Points (AP's).  There are linux based home made units in the wild also.
Security Back story on the subject, on the left.
A multiple pc "sharing hub" for sharing USB devices.
Making flexible circuit boards with modified HP Deskjet Printer!  Definitely low budget approach over other methods!
Solid Aluminum UBS Drive Armour.
Loading Fedora Core Linux on old PS3 Game Console!
Making Iphone from a Motorola SLVR!
Getting rid of Verizon nuisances from a Motorola V3c RAZR!
This completely intentionally hackable device has lots of potential!  Although not complete, but it is available for sale now, full version is to be expected early in 08!

Palm Plot based robot
RFID Tag Spoofer with real time data traffic analysis!  THIS IS ALSO INTENDED TO RAISE SECURITY CONCERNS, CONSIDERING THE BROAD DEPLOYMENT OF RFID TAGS!
This hack upens up the Wii to run homebrew game code, alongside the GameCube Console!
Running the native linux on a palm sized video player ARCHOS WiFi
280 MPH, Twin Kero burner F-14 Tomcat R/C Plane, appears to be 1/6 scale.
The newest Tech in video projection units, the worlds smallest made.  This uses neither bulbs nor lenses, but lasers!  The next smaller model is to fit in your cell phone and throw a 50" image on any white wall!  ALL THEY NEED NOW IS A TV TUNER MODULE, FOR A TV IN YOUR POCKET, AS TV VIDEO IS NOW BEING HOSTED ON THE INTERNET, A WI-FI MODULE WILL GO NICELY!
Make your own vaccuum tubes like everyone else did from about 1880 to 1920!  This French "ham" radio operator shows some finesse and apparently makes his own fabrication equipment as well!
Linux-based PMP (Personal Media Player) features head-worn display (AKA VR GLASSES).
Several actual hardware devices have been hacked to run Google's Java-based Android software stack.
Keyboards - Optimus Maximus: at long last, we bring one home to test!
Not Yet in Production
$10 GiFi Chip sends 5GBPS over 10 metere range! A new "Ultimus Maximus" WiFi!  Sometimes called Gigabit WiFi.
Test your own Whole Disk Encryption!  It should work on Windoz, Mac, & Linux!  For more info SEE NETWORK SECURITY RESOURCES PAGE!
