Geek Accessory: Cassette converted into iPod case

August 7th, 2009

It must have taken a real old fashioned Geek to covert old tape cassette’s into an iPod case. The old tapes were “gutted, routered and rebuilt” to give you this handmade iPod Nano 4G cover. On the front side of the tapes you can print / write your own custom label :)

So shall we now call them WalkPod? You can buy these from Contexture design for $49 CAD each. Now that’s not too expensive, but I would rather buy an additional pair of earphones!

Vacuum Tube Chess is cool

June 30th, 2009

This one is for all of you out there who would love to see some sort of tech involved in the simplest of things in life (myself included!). The vacuum tube chess has been developed by an artist Paul Fryer. Looks like the artist developed only seven of these and that too a year back. So, there are hardly any chances of this one getting into your hands. You can appreciate the work though in through the comments.

Wonder if these heat up while playing. That could invent a new game in which you have to move each tube as many times as possible before burning your hand.

Like the Ctrl-Alt-Del pillow featured earlier can’t get you to task manager, similarly these Cmd + Z pillows won’t undo your last night’s naughty mistakes.

What would you want to undo if these pillows could let you do so? You naughty geeky Mac user.

Build a Wall-PC out of your Old Laptop

March 25th, 2009

While we were wondering what could we do of an old laptop, many options came up like selling it, giving it to younger brouther/sister,throw it in junk. Just then, while browsing through net, we found out this amazing thing to do with your old laptop – build a custom wall-hanging PC.

Wall-Pc

The real art in doing this is to dismantle the laptop. Taking out all tiny screws is easy, but one has to be careful while removing the screen.

Then you need to mount the screen on the back of your laptop motherboard. Find a good frame for the assembly, and carefully mount the dissected laptop in the frame. Thats it – your custom wall-hanging Pc is ready.
