Just heard there is a new film coming which is all about gaming arcades in the late 70s and 80s…. You can find the Sundance film festival entry here and a web page from the guy who did some of the computer animated scenes here .I spent most of the late 70s and early 80s in arcades so I am really looking forward to this film.

I just discovered Spark Fun Electronics . I bought a RooTooth interface for my Roomba from them. They have lots of interesting stuff, worth a look.

Buying new gadgets always leaves me with the chore of cutting up the packaging and placing it in the recycling bin. Recently I bought a Sony Bravia X-series LCD display and found myself with the task of recycling a rather large cardboard box.
Buying new gadgets always leaves me with the chore of cutting up the packaging and placing it in the recycling bin. Recently I bought a Sony Bravia X-series LCD display and ended up with a rather large cardboard box.
I’ve had this cabinet without a back in my garage for a while and have been contemplating blocking the back so that it becomes a fully enclosed cabinet. A few days ago I was having a BBQ and mentioned it to my uncle who is a carpenter. His immediate response was “why don’t you just cut up that big box over there and use it instead of buying some wood”. Well that’s exactly what I did and here are some pictures showing the process.
1. Half covered back of cabinet. Nails were used to attach cardboard to the back of cabinet.
2. View from the inside of the cabinet. Looks just like the inside of a box.
3. Rear view of finished product with me standing behind it. Lots of gaffer tape used to seal gaps.
Well now I just need to paint it!
And here is the finished product. It won’t win any beauty contents however it will keeps it contents dust free.
