Speaking of DIY projects, this is pretty cool.

A couple of Canucks managed to send a Lego man into space along with a camera.

Neat stuff.

If I were ever to have the time and money to build a proper workshop, it would look something like this.

Be warned. It now lives behind a paywall.

Got the new Wired at lunch today and have read most of this article that looks back on the Age of Hackers and how they and the new geeks that have followed have changed the world.

Alright, this isn’t a bad list necessarily. But consult the comments for damn near ANY random post and strip out the annoying Seinfeld bullshit and then you’re onto something.

This is pretty good for a laugh. Check it out.

Thankfully I don’t clearly hit any of these categories.

Nor just one list of geeky things to be thankful for, but yet another list as well.

Yes, Thanksgiving was last week but I’m catching up on my surfing and also going through old links as well. The items are still relevant!

I was going to make a series of posts related to the cool designs I found on Yanko, but decided to just lump a bunch together in one post and post others as they interest me.

Starting off, the SoundBulb, a wireless speaker in a light bulb.

Next, the E-Note, basically a digital Post-it you can reuse.

Now here’s something I could really use. That, or less soda, probably the latter. Either way, it is a device that decontaminates soda cans.

Something we all could use, meat freshness labels that change color as the meat stays longer in the package.

For the ultimate traveller, a “third eye” that gives you everything you need to know about what you are looking at in the viewer.

And, the possible future of air travel: a huge airship-looking thing made to carry up to 1,500 passengers.

I’m not sure what the corporate argument is for using Domo-kun in America. Target had him last year and 7-11 right now. Either way, I like it.

Trippy stuff.

I may be spending too much time on GeekDad but this discussion fascinates me.

I suppose you could always refer to the chart.
