Indoor Tree Of Light
02/11/11 -- Pretty Cool
“The design of this 6.5 feet high object is based on the natural shapes of a tree and the exciting shadows coming through when the sun is shining. The contrast in nature vs. technique and steel vs. wood. The tree of light is made out of sustainable oak or teak, the lamp is suitable for in and outside usage and comes in a stand-alone, table, suspension and wall version.” w/ photos
Pancake Burrito Burger
02/11/11 -- Deliciousness
“The only logical thing to do after being granted my wish of an all day McDonald’s breakfast was to create some sort of concoction that combined their regular lunch menu with these two day long breakfast choices so I ordered some pancakes, a breakfast burrito, a McDouble and grabbed a seat and got to work. I started by removing the bun from the McDouble and topping the burger patties with the eggs, sausage, peppers and onions from my breakfast burrito. After that was done I placed the burger on a pancake, topped it with another pancake, cut the excess pancake trim from around the edges and enjoyed my McDonald’s Pancake Burrito Burger!” w/ photos
Phantom Of The Flopper

“People have made floppy drives sing before, but this is my personal take on it. Features two 3 1/2″ drives and two 5 1/4″ drives connected to a PIC18f14k50 microcontroller. It interfaces to any MIDI source via MIDI over USB. Straight MIDI would also be possible with an additional small circuit and some minor firmware changes. This initial version can respond to all 128 MIDI notes, and pitch bends +/- 2 semitones. As it can produce only four simultaneous notes, and each drive has a different range and tonal characteristics, best results are obtained by arranging compositions by hand. However, it features two modes of operation: in one mode, MIDI channels 1 through 4 are played directly on floppy drives 1 through 4. In the other mode, all 16 MIDI channels are read, and notes are “intelligently” divvied out on a first-come, first-serve basis. “Note stealing” ensures that melody lines sound, but chords are often cut short. One or the other produces acceptable results for many unmodified MIDI files straight out of your favorite media player.” — FunToTheHead

Tetris Board Game?
02/11/11 -- Pretty Cool
“Tetris, the video game you’ve known and loved for the last 25 years, is being turned into a board game… Called Tetris Link, the idea is that opponents are pitted against each other in “a strategic contest of linking and blocking.” What that means in the real world is that rather like Connect 4, players score points each time they link three or more pieces together, while the other players try to stop that happening.” w/ photos
