From traditional crafts to modern crafts, we’re covering news and interesting projects to educate you and keep you inspired. Design trends and pop culture related projects are here to inspire.
Good HOW TO for Mac and PSP 2.0 firmware owners who use iTunes. “Wouldn’t it be great if I could just delete some songs and and add new songs from my iTunes library, wherever I was using the WiFi internet connection?” It can be done, for a small cost (about $22 U.S.) Here’s how- Link.
From MAKE’s Terrie Miller! One of the hand-made telescopes at John Dobson’s 90th birthday party (Aug. 27, 2005 at the Randall Museum in San Francisco). Dobson pioneered this easy-to-make telescope design and co-founded the San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomers. (See more in this set.) Link.
Here are three quick and simple projects you can do with old records and LP covers. Melt them to make a bowl, make a cool LP cover box and my fav, record coasters. I’ve been meaning to try the record melting to bowl thing for awhile, just need to pick up an old damaged record that I won’t feel bad about bowl-ifying. Link.
The end result is pretty nice…in line with my desperate attempt to be a jack-of-all-trades (and master of some?) I decided to build a model of a mech out of garbage. Now I’ve seen some damn fancy scrap mech building in my day. When you’re done visiting here, check out this stuff, which I think is mostly kit-based but with lots of customization. [via] Link.
MetaFilter has a round up and a great discussion on tube amps. Some cool little tube amps. The world’s smallest production tube amp and world’s Smallest Vacuum Tube hi-fi stereo amplifier. These are too cool. Link.
...organize classical music such that the composer appears in the artist field and the artist/ensemble appears somewhere else. The obvious choice would be to use the now vacated composer slot, and I do exactly that. I’ve modified iTunes to support this new paradigm and am VERY happy with the change. The final result looks like this… Link.
