Using some scrap wood he had lying around, Seamster set forth and built his very own pinball table. Complete with working paddles, it uses an old mouse tracking ball and has plenty of ramps and other bonuses, just like the arcade version of the game. It’s not an easy build but there’s an Instructable available should you have the courage ...

Yup. Exactly what you probably thought. This is an Arduino made from paper instead of using a printed circuit board. Created by DIYer Guilherme, this Arduino is fully functional and is also the most inexpensive Arduino available. Want to design your own? Instructions are indeed available, my friend. Link [via]

As much as I would hate to share a hobby with my grandmother, this urban knitting graffiti project, Knitta Please, is almost cool enough for me to take up knitting. I said almost cool enough. A whole tree covered with a surface which resembles that scarf your aunt made you that one year. Now that’s taking crafting to a whole ...

Excuse the pun, but do Apple fans really give a “hoot” about owls? Sure, I suppose this Earbud Owl, made using a Epilog Zing laser cutter, does resemble the uber-geeky “O RLY?” macro, but that’s� about the furthest I can go with owl geekiness until I reach the point of obliviousness. Admittedly, this is a pretty neat idea. The owl’s ...

In the not too distant future, next Sunday A.D., there was a guy named Joel, not too different from you and me. To make a long story short, he was abducted by a mad scientist and put into space with a collection of ultra-hysterical robots, most notably Tom Servo and Crow. Cambot and Gypsy had their place, but let’s be ...

Girl, from the first day I had you in my heart I knew our arms would never grow apart Yellow and yellow, hand in hand Crankin’ out beats while I bust out a jam Got my man with the hair over to the left And angry bro-dude, yeah, he comes next I’m in the middle singing all the time Don’t ...

Those of you who are fans of Newgrounds will surely be pleased to find that someone on Deviant Art has created papercraft versions of the knights from Castle Crashers. Print out your own, crack open a cold one and get to foldin’. I wonder if the guys at The Behemoth will turn take this a step further by… Link

Dads. I’ve got some news for you. This weekend, instead of watching your TiVo’d NHL playoff games, you’re going to be making this toy car launcher for your kid. DotaDabbled’s Instructable provides precise details on how you can create one using some wood, plastic and other miscellaneous doo-dads (pardon the pun) lying around the house. Link [via]

These handmade cases for the iPhone 3G are really something. Clearly a lot of time and craftsmanship went into making each one and lucky for you, they’re up for sale on Etsy. At $85, it’s not a cheap case and don’t even think about keeping it in your pocket – it’s simply too large. This is more of a luxury ...

Have you ever played the Dreamcast/Arcade classic Virtual On? It’s one of those wacky robot games that has a huge cult following. The Dreamcast version came with these twin arcade sticks you’d use to play the game with. Since then, nothing has come close to the same gaming experience – until now. Some Japanese dude took two candy tubes, wired ...
