I was playing around with my camera last night and I was taking photos of random objects and one of the things I grabbed was a 2GB SODIMM module.  I’ve never really looked at one closely before but I noticed that on the center of the board, on both the front and the back, were these serpentine [...]

Well, the title alone shouldn’t surprise you.  I love startups.  I love open source, and I really love clocks.  So, when I found the ClockOS project on Kickstarter, I had to take a look.  It is a clock made out of 180 surface mount LED’s.  It may not be as practical as the designers say it is [...]

I haven’t spent much time playing with my lasers lately so I pulled them out last night to make sure that everything still worked.  This is the first (and probably last) laser video that I shot with my 5D MII – one stray beam and it will destroy the sensor.  This is the same basic home built [...]

This is a work-in-progress video of my collection.  The final version will have several more clocks, titles for each device, and more information.  All of these clocks are hand made even if they don’t look like it.  I did not include my mass produced clocks from Think Geek or other vendors (even if they are really cool…) [...]

Here is an awesome video of a robotic band playing The Beautiful People.  Look out House On The Rock via Hack A Day

I just finished a review for my latest nixie clock – the MOD_6 7971.  It is currently the largest in my collection with 6 B7971 tubes.  Watch the video below or see the full review here.

Today I have a cool from a fellow Minnesotan – the company is called Cold War Creations and the clock is called the “Glass Clock #3.”  Watch the video below and read the full review here.
