Wack-A-Banker

Posted by Miss Cellania in Money & Finance, Toy & Video Games on October 9, 2009 at 9:42 am

Engineeer and cartoonist Tim Hunkin created an arcade game that at first appears to be an ATM or banking kiosk. When coins are inserted, the banking poster drops and reveals Wack-A-Banker, giving you an opportunity to take your aggressions out on a group of financially oppressive stereotypes. See more pictures and read how this project came about at Tim’s site. Link -via Everlasting Blort

Wii-Mote Covered in Hemp Strings

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Gadget, Pictures on December 11, 2008 at 8:39 pm

Neatorama reader DHRECK wrote to us about his latest art creation: a fully functional Wii-mote/nunchuck completely covered with hemp strings!

Made from 3 kinds of 100% natural hemp string on the outside, while remaining 100% functional on the inside.

In stark contrast with the original Wii-mote set, what was once sleek, cold, white and hard plastic has now become a slightly fuzzy, natural, warm and textured concoction. No more bland, branded and boring
but mottled, flawfull, rough and a tad sweat absorbing.

The Hemp-Mote is absolutely playable, all buttons, accelerometers and the infrared camera accounted for. Unfortunately its exterior is also quite fragile and prone to degeneration, being in the raw state that it is.

The Best Iron Man Halloween Costume EVAR!

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Baby & Kids, Movies & SciFi on November 25, 2008 at 3:03 am

Whoa! This is awesome: when his son wanted an Iron Man suit for Halloween, Enrique of LinuxNerd blog decided that he’s going to build the ultimate Iron Man costume.

So he spent two months modding a store-bought costume to include:

* Repulsor Air – Blows air with CO2 air pump on hip and hose back to his hand.
* Repulsor Missile – Using CO2 air pump can also launch a paper missile.
* Repulsor Sensor/Light – A magnetic switch sensor lights his repulsor hand light and fades out and in his glowing eyes. Arduino handles this effect.
* Arc Reactor – A LED night light from Costco embedded in his chest. [...]

It rocks to have a geeky dad! Check out the video clip here: Link – via Gizmodo
