  • Transparent iPhone 4 Casemod Looks Great, Doesn’t Make Phone Calls Any Clearer

    I’m all for making your gadgets look better, but I draw the line at making something heavier. The previous iPhone 4 mod with the metal back looked good but I would have gone with carbon fiber to make the phone lighter, not heavier. Read more @ Technabob

  • Steam-Powered Record Player: Taking Steampunk Too Far

    It looks like someone is taking the whole steampunk thing a bit too far with this steam-powered record player. Would you want one? Seriously, I wouldn’t. My Technics SL1200s does the job fine. However, this thing is still pretty amazing. Read more @ Technabob

  • The Borg Have Assimilated This Car

    I only have one question: why would the Borg bother to assimilate an old car? Does it have some hive-mind abilities that we don’t know about? I don’t know and I don’t think it matters, but Craig Smith has definitely modified his car in an unusual fashion. Read more @ Technabob

  • The Millennium Falcon Guitar: Not Quite Ready for the Kessel Run

    I don’t think that Han Solo ever intended that the Millennium Falcon would be used as a model for a guitar, but musically inclined Star Wars geeks will rejoice when they see this nifty axe made to look like Solo’s ship. Read more @ Technabob

  • Game Boy Advance SP Gets An Original Gameboy Retrofit

    It’s true that the original Game Boy is a timeless piece of portable video gaming. Heck, I know that I spent countless hours trying to beat my best at Tetris. In this great little hack, the familiar green screen is gone. Why? Well, Flickr user CRTdrone modded his original Game Boy so that it now…

  • Modder Crams iPhone Into Game Boy Advance

    No, you aren’t hallucinating. A Japanese modder managed to cram an iPhone into a Game Boy Advance – and I kind of like it, albeit in a sort of retro kind of way. Read more @ Technabob

  • Moleskine Hacks and Dusk Jackets

    I just read through Nick Cernis’ Moleskine guide. It was interesting, but left me wanting for more². I’d never pay for customized Moleskines, but I’d modify the covers myself. Even so, it’s somewhat daunting because if you make a mistake, you’ll kind of ruin a MS notebook, which is usually expensive. I like MS enough…

  • Look! Steampunk Case Mod Putting a bit of Frankenstein in Your PC

    Case mods are always fun. It puts a different spin on the normal looking desktop, that we all want to hide away underneath our desks.
