Here’s a fun project to do if you have a couple of unused keyboards lying around – a picture Rubik’s Cube with function and number keys on it instead of colors. Making one’s not as easy as Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V though.…

Whether you’re still a young minifig or a grown Mindstorms expert, the officially licensed LEGO lunchbox is for you. The eight-stud container-brick measures approx. 3″x 4″ x 8″. I’m not sure if it interlocks with other LEGO lunchboxes though.…

The iRobot 110 FirstLook is built to serve the military and law enforcement. From the looks if things, that’s pretty obvious from the get-go. Usually, you don’t need a robotic spy cam unless you are defusing bombs or conducting surveillance. But hey, that doesn’t mean that you can’t have some…

There are plenty of infrared lenses and night-vision cameras out there, but this cheap little digital camera is a really affordable way of getting into IR photography.

Artist Olly Moss imagines a controller from an alternate universe, where gaming companies focused on hardcore gamers instead of the casual. “You are the controller”…? Pffff. You’ll need a couple of friends to operate one of these Next Generation controllers. How’s that for social gaming.

I get the point about cooling an Xbox 360. Those suckers overheat pretty quickly, but the Nintendo Wii? I’ve never heard any complaints over that console’s heat, but that didn’t stop Angel OD from the Bit-Tech Forums to water-cool his Wii, in this completely superfluous hack. It’s called the Wii…
