Epic Viking Helmet Features RGB LED Mohawk
OMG! This is the perfect helmet for everyone’s favorite online celebrity of olden: The Technoviking!
A friend sprung this project on us at nearly the last minute…he wanted a light-up mohawk on his Viking helmet. Fortunately he already had the helmet, and we already had plenty of LEDs and raw materials.

The Raincatch [Video]
Raincatch from Hyeona Yang on Vimeo.
This is a fascinating invention that appears to serve no practical function.* The idea: collect rainwater, purify it in your raincoat, and store it to drink through a straw while walking in the rain. I think. As a water purifier, it sounds great. As a raincoat, awesome. But having the need for both at once is not a thing that’s happened to me, ever. Perhaps I’m in the wrong climate. What do you think?
(*Someday this statement will probably end up in the Bad Opinion Generator, but for now I’ll stand by it.)

Amazing Real Life Pip-Boy 3000 [Video]
Now if we could find a way to make this thing work with Elisabeth’s amazingly cool Fallout 3 Monopoly Game.
This is the first test of my attempt to build a working pipboy 3000, complete with fully functional controls just as depicted in the game.
It consists of an HTC Desire HD as the screen and processor, and an Arduino Uno with a USB host shield running microbridge to act as an ADB host for the phone. The Arduino then sends button presses to the phone via TCP over USB. The casing is a cast made by Skruffy over at http://www.therpf.com , it’s amazing!
