Hacking your alarm clock to respond to physical violence...

The snooze button is boring. How about hitting, throwing, smacking, and in general abusing your alarm clock?

Oh, and I strongly recommend buying a cheap alarm clock

Want to get a bit more audio quality out of mp3's?

Try this setting for the equalizer.

These settings/pics are for iTunes, but I tried it in Windows Media Player and it did seem to give the mp3's a bit more life.

" Open the equalizer, and from the pop-up menu, select “Make Preset.” Call it “Perfect,” because it is, and set the following levels, from left to right (skip the Preamp section):

db +3, +6, +9, +7, +6, +5, +7, +9, +11, +8 db"

How good is Bioshock?

Good enough to be BANNED from Valve's offices (Bioshock was made by 2K Boston/2K Australia). Apparently it was so popular, it was interfering with productivity. Valve promised to give every employee a copy once their work on Orange Box was finished. Talk about a rousing endorsement from a competitor!

Reubens Tube controlled by wiimote?

It's amazing how many uses the wiimote has thanks to glovepie.

Take a ruebens tube, "A Ruben's tube is essentially a demonstration of standing waves in air". Think a propane filled tube will small holes drilles on top. By forcing sound waves though, you manipulate the areas of pressure...high pressure, high flames....low pressure, low flames.


Now control that with a wiimote....I think the blueman group song is very appropriate:

Brilliant mario level hack design!

This guy designed a level where the level plays you. By that I mean, you start the level and put the controller down (aka no buttons are pressed in the entire level).

Very impressive
