Tatra Mac G4

Tatra Mac G4 04/10/2004 10:54 PM

What do you get when you mix an air-cooled V8 powered sedan with a G4 Mac? The Tatra Mac G4, a combination GPS navigaton system, MP3 player, movie player, game machine, built into a Czech-built Tatra 613. It even has its own network with ethernet ports in the armrests, and connects to the Internet either through WiFi or GPRS, whichever is available.

Now why don't more cars come with this sort of gear as standard equipment? Or at least as an aftermarket add-on?

Many folks wouldn't want to be reminded how easy it is to convert sparse input into a detailed profile that includes a phone number, a street address, a satellite photo, and driving directions. Re-entering the basic facts each time perpetuates an illusion of privacy. Yet the reality, for many of us, is that these facts are public.

Since I haven't told Google (or any other directories) to delete my records, I've implicitly given permission for Web applications to use that data. Let me now make that permission explicit. I'd be happy if a Web form made intelligent use of public information about me.

I'd be even happier if I could control the source of that data. Public information is a poorly defined concept, after all. There are online directories that still remember an address I vacated five years ago. I'd like to maintain the facts about me that I deem public. When applications need those facts, I'd like to refer them to a service that dispenses them. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

Tire Tagz: Persistence of Vision for

Tire Tagz: Persistence of Vision for
Wheels 04/12/2005 07:44 AM

I'm not sure how many horsepower glowing Batman logos add to a car, but I'm sure these Tire Tagz are exactly the sort of thing that will soon be provided with pastel orange Mitsubishi Eclipses right from the factory. Tire Tagz are persistence of vision clips that plug right into your wheel, spinning amber LEDs to create a static image. The company claims they'll be legal on the roads, since they are the regulation amber color mandated for all side-mounted lights, but I wouldn't be surprised if you get a few tickets to go along with your stares.

To their credit, the Tire Tagz look pretty well thought-out, with a locking mechanism and bundled Windows software for creating and uploading your own patterns. When they launch this month (according to their site) I'd imagine they'll be very popular with tuners for a few months, or at least until Advance Auto Parts makes a $5 knock-off version. As for the Tire Tags price, that's anybody's guess—their online shop is not actually online. (Thanks, Steve!)

Fun with Homebrew Parts

Fun with Homebrew Parts 12/21/2003 12:05 PM
Every robot builder has been faced with needing (or wanting) parts that don't fit the budget. What's the solution? We try to improvise by building a homebrew replacement. Jack W. Crenshaw has written an amusing article in Embedded Systems magazine on this subject. He tells of an obsession in his college days to have (then unaffordable) seven-segment displays to play with. First he struggled to build a seven-segment display out of things like ice cube trays and light bulbs. He followed that up with a plan to build a circuit full of oscillators and counters that could generate the waveforms needed to turn his oscilliscope into a seven segment display.

Homebrew Mecha

Homebrew Mecha 12/24/2004 12:16 PM

If there is a sweeter pairing than the union of "backyard" and "mecha," then I don't want to know it (unless there is, then tell me right now). Deep in the Alaskan wilderness (okay, Anchorage) lives Carlos Owens, a 26-year-old steelworker who is working on his own hydraulic-motivated 18-foot mecha that he intends to unveil at a local race track, where it will hopefully spout fire and destroy cars—or maybe even fight another mecha. Owens has no idea when his project will be done (if ever), but you have to respect the work of a man who takes on the giant robot challenge even our government has been reticent to pursue.

Be sure to look at the photo gallery on CNet, too. There's a great shot of a 1960s power-suit that was being by GE. Imagine how totally wicked our society would be now if that would have panned out.

Ever wanted to create your own multilayer printed circuit boards? For most of us it's easier to send them out to a commercial boardhouse but it can be expensive. Open Collector recently included a link to a homebrew through-plating machine that can create 3 in x 3 in, 4 layer boards in about 4 hours for around $10 per board. The creator's website includes plenty of photos but is a little light on description. He offers to provide more construction details including schematics via email, however, if anyone else wants to try making their own multilayer boards.

Land Walker Homebrew Mecha

Calling this mecha the 'Land Walker' might be a bit generous—it's more like the 'Land Shuffler.' Nevertheless, it's a heck of a project, and if I'm reading the stories right, it's mostly the work of one man. Too bad the guns are just for show. On the upside, there's a video, which makes it look a lot less photoshopped than in these pictures. (Thanks, Erick!)

Homebrew baby-wipes with your table-saw

Homebrew baby-wipes with your table-saw 06/17/2005 03:34 PM
Cory Doctorow: For parents with table-saws: converting a roll of paper towels to a roll of baby-wiped through judicious application of shop tools and a water/soap/oil mix.

The first thing that must be done is cut the roll of paper towels in half. I've tried doing this with serrated knives or hand saws, but I've found that they either squash the roll or produce a very ragged, chewed-up end. The best solution I have tried is the table saw. A band saw would probably do as well, but I don't have one to test on. First, put on your safety glasses, then raise up the blade as high as it will go. Then, with the plastic wrapper still on the roll, cut the roll down the center. You will probably have to spin the roll to cut all the way through....

Now, a box of 384 premade wipes costs around $10. A bulk package of 8 paper towel rolls costs around $5, and makes somewhere around 900 wipes. So the former runs around 2.6 cents per wipe, while the latter is about 0.6 cents per wipe. Plus you have the intangibles, like a personal feeling of accomplishment and the fact that you get to use the table saw.
