Mike Knuepfel, a recent graduate of Stanford University with a BS in Engineering – Product Design, saw some of the projects people are doing with The Maker’s Notebook and thought he’d share some of the embedded book prototypes he’s been working on. Besides the above, which uses touch-sensitive LED circuitry and shape memory allow and […]
Humberto writes in – Ever had a message you wanted to tell the world around you? Ever wished you had a way of taking information and having it light up in front of you, a phalanx of diodes doing your bidding, emitting light on command to form out your epistle? This video outlines how to […]

Steve Davee, whose Maker’s Notebook hacks we’ve covered before, sent us a progress video. Here, he shows the LED binary indexing cover he introduced in the Maker Faire video, and a second project, to put a membrane keypad and LEDs in a cover that will eventually hook up to a microcontroller and will respond to […]
Jake von Slatt carries a purse — and he’s man enough to call it that. He’s also geek-maker enough to want to properly organize its innards with desired compartments. I’ve never thought of making additional organizing inserts with accordion folders, file folder stock, glue, and packing tape, but it sure looks like it works well. […]
