Leah Buechley, creator of the LilyPad Arduino, recently ran a workshop in Austria on using the LilyPad and its accessories. She showcases the students' project in her flickr set, and there are some fun videos of them towards the end of it. It's great to see kids having such success with the platform.

The expansive ash tendrils created by mercury thiocyanide decomposition are nauseatingly amazing! I'm guessing this reaction could have inspired Tetsuo's animated affliction.

Unless you take up residence in Dubai or Beverly Hills, any time you pull up in a Lamborghini you’re gonna get more attention than a red carpet nipple slip. But if you do live in an area where Lambos and Ferraris are as common as Dodge Chargers, you may want to let Prestige Imports give your super car a makeover like the one they gave to this Gallardo.There’s not much information on the car, except ...

It is impossible to do a search for small houses and not turn up Jay Shafer and the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. He is in large part the inspiration for the small house movement and Small House Style. It seems that one person has not done more to put the small house on the map than Jay and this is our homage to him… Jay built his first small house (for himself) in the early ...

If the X-Games aren't quite your speed, Actiga is offering the next best thing (look, we all know that what I said isn't true, but let's roll with it, see where it goes.) Their $20 Mini-Motion games offer radical finger sports like skateboarding, RC cars, baseball, and futuristic racing games. Each game is embedded in the wicked-awesome controller and compatible with Mac and PC. But even more gnarly, they don't even require a helmet! Totally ...

The lads over at Sound & Vision were among the most fervent to review the Foxl portable, a 5.6-inch speaker with integrated lithium-ion battery, 3.5mm jack and USB-in for $180. (There's also a Bluetooth version for $250.) We've seen these tiny speakers before, and they've definitely gotten better over time. But this Foxl unit caught our eye because Sound & Vision simply gushes over the audio quality, comparing it to systems 10 times the price. ...

Throwing this screaming skull cover over your PS3 not only protects it from scratches, it also scares children. When they come ringing to trick or treat, open the door quickly, make a lot of noise and hurl your screaming skull PS3 in the air. The cover ...

These great-looking handmade VoIP handsets, designed by Hulger, are individually handcrafted to order out of solid American maple by Furni in Montreal. They'll work with all the usual VoIP and chat apps via USB on PC and Mac for $300. Is wood the new glossy white plastic? I kind of hope so, cause when done right, it's beautiful. MoCo Loco has a nice look inside the factory, if you want to see the giant solid ...

I like things that fly, especially when they're the size of a golf ball. Tomy's OFO RC toys are part of the Japanese Q series of all things minuscule, and are propelled by a rotor on its underside. The QFO will be available in Japan this month for about $40, but more importantly, I keep thinking of how awesome it would be if 20 of these took to the sky at once in a public ...

Google is previewing its application market for Android (link), T-Mobile USA has promised a new applications store for its phones (link), and many people I've spoken with believe Microsoft bought Danger in order to get its software store technology.The idea of encouraging third ...
