Full-scale model of a Pan Am Airlines first-class cabin - in a guy's garage

Full-scale model of a Pan Am Airlines first-class cabin - in a guy's garage...

When Anthony Toth wants to experience the luxury of flying first class, he doesn't need to travel any further than his own Redondo Beach garage. That's where the 42-year-old aircraft enthusiast built a full-scale replica of a first-class cabin from a Pan Am World Airways 747. When visitors enter Toth's garage, they are greeted with a timetable listing the flight schedule from Los Angeles that Pan Am would have used in the 1970s. They are then directed inside the cabin, where they can sit in red-and-blue airplane seats, and eat peanuts from a Pan Am embossed package. Toth has painstakingly re-created a Pan Am aircraft from the 1960s and '70s, complete with recordings of the original in-flight audio. It's taken Toth nearly 20 years to scavenge for the parts to construct the cabin, which he started building five years ago. He estimates that he's spent more than $50,000 on airplane

Programming a microcontroller without a computer

http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/11/programming_an_arduino_without_a_co.html

Say you want to build a re-programmable toy, but the person you are making it for doesn't have access to a computer. How could you do it? Charlie Robinson looked to the past to solve this problem with his Arduino Cassette Engine. His project allows an Arduino to interpret specially coded audio files as binary data, which can then be stored to a memory card. The current version seems to be just storing the data, however there is no conceptual reason why this couldn't be used to actually reprogram the device once it is downloaded.

So, why is this interesting? Well, if the Arduino can be programmed using audio, then suddenly anything with a speaker can be made into a programmer. I think it would be pretty funny if you could use, say, a garden variety cell phone with some Java software to write programs for your micro.

What do you think, is there some potential here, or would it be better to just give aspiring programmers a regular computer to hack on? [Thanks Matt!]

Ikkyu Sojun

Studying texts and stiff meditation can make you lose your Original Mind.
A solitary tune by a fisherman, though, can be an invaluable treasure.
Dusk rain on the river, the moon peeking in and out of the clouds;
Elegant beyond words, he chants his songs night after night.

Zen Master Ikkyu Sojun.

Girl wearing leggings as pants: I love your watch... does it flip open?
(frail elderly woman looks confused)
Girl: That, your watch.
Frail elderly woman: This is my life alert. If I fall, I can call for help.
Girl: Oh! Uh... well, it goes really well with your outfit.
Frail elderly woman: It doesn't come it any other colors. Just beige.

"Awesome"



Just killing time while I wait for the pirate to get out of the shower before sticking the movie on. It'll come as no surprise to you that I am a little inebriated, while being rather chuffed with my new projector. This then, is the culmination of those two factors.

Tape sculpture contest

http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/11/tape_sculpture_contest.html

If you are inspired by the use of everyday objects as art, then Scotch Brand wants to see your creativity come off the roll and into the art space. The Scotch Off the Roll Tape Sculpture Contest, sponsored by 3M, is inviting creative minds to submit photos of their unique tape sculpture -- constructed from Scotch Packaging Tape -- for the chance to win a $5,000 cash prize.

Deadline: February 10th, 2010. Entries will be narrowed down to a pool of finalists by noted tape artist Mark Jenkins and winners will be selected in an online vote with the first place winner receiving $5,000 and a 1-year supply of tape and runners-up receiving less money but still a lot of tape. Personally, I prefer duct tape, but you gotta like the translucent quality of the finished sculptures.

Slidey chandelier

http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/11/slidey_chandelier.html

I have a chandelier in my dining room which is always in the way at parties when we move the dining room table against the wall. Here's a way to remedy that, putting the fixture on a track that slides the light out of the way. Not the most attractive look on the ceiling, but still an interesting solution.
