WordPress 2.0.1 Release

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Yep, it’s another release of Wordpress, mostly fixing some open bugs/problems from the 2.0 release.  I’ll be upgrading to this in the next couple of days, so expect a minor amount of downtime in the next day or two.

DIY Projection clock

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Courtesy of the Make Blog, go surf over and check out these instructions for building your own projection digital clock.  The idea is pretty simple: modify a  cheap digital watch from the dollar store by mounting a couple of bright LED lights behind the LCD display, and then use a lens to focus the enlarged version on the wall/ceiling.  Neat!

The author,  Raphael Assénat, has lots of other cool projects as well: of particular interest to me was his neat article on extracting the sound hardware from a Super Nintendo and wiring it to his PC.  I’m gonna have to keep an eye out for one of these at Goodwill.   Cool stuff.
