Jo sent in this DVD on how to grow mushrooms for all the Mycologists out there Great dvd of how to grow mushrooms - Link Check out the washing basket and the free videos on YouTube.
My friend Olivia pinged me this morning to check out this Brazilan site Natureza Viva. The environmental site is for the Brazilian company, Vale do Rio Doce, and has an interactive flash cross stitch game to get people aware and involved in the environmental cause. (Please be patient and wait for the site to load in the beginning.) I worked on Flash from it’s inception back in the day and lets just say I am not impressed easily by flash sites or games. This game blew me out of of the water. Not only was I virtually cross stitching, the animation of the needle through the fabric was very satisfying. Plus, the best part was I was stitching along side my friend Olivia. As nerdy as that seems, both of us obsessively started to fill up open holes in the stitches sometimes running into each other. So if you have a bit of time try this out and if you see me stitching, give me a nudge to say hi. [ via ] Link.
I always love the corner pieces of brownies for the mix of crunchy and soft baked goodness. Now with the Edge Brownie Pan ($34.00), all the brownies you make will be just like the ends. [ via ] Link.
Here’s a time lapse of a LeBron James created on an Etch-a-Sketch -
See for the first time Etch A Sketch artist George Vlosich creating his one of a kind artwork. This five hour etch of LeBron James is sped up so that you can see every line he makes and step he takes to create a unique piece of pop art. This piece of artwork was created for the Quicken Loans Arena. Look for more of George’s upcoming Etched In Time artwork.
I teach high school physics and we spend some time talking about waves and sound. I’ve found that one of the best ways to do this is to use free software to analyze the harmonic components of various sounds and then to rebuild them one frequency at a time.
Todbot (author of Roomba Hacking) has a review of the iRobot Create Robot, he writes -
At the 2007 CES iRobot announced a robot explicitly designed for hobbyist and educational robotics experimenters called the iRobot Create.
The iRobot Create is now shipping and iRobot kindly sent me one to review and verify it’s applicability to the Hacking Roomba book.
In short, all the projects Hacking Roomba work great with the Create, as it’s fully compatible with all ROI-based Roomba hacks. The Create is a better device for robotics experimentation if you’re an educator, academic, or serious about robotics. However, if you’re a casual hacker, a Roomba Red still provides a better value (and is a vacuum cleaner to boot).
