For those not familiar with the storage device known as N5 let me be the first to tell you: it’s illegal to use this device for downloading Nintendo DS games off the ‘net.

This video is a great example of someone using circuit bending techniques to generate sounds from an old Atari 2600. Using Paul Siocum’s Synthcart, the user is able to create original pieces using the 2600’s built-in sound chips. Nothing beats the DIY instrument movement. If ...

Now, thanks to the wonder of video capture, you can see how the ...

The only people I know that enjoy black licorice had seven root canals last year. That aside, for the few who do enjoy the taste that black licorice has to offer and are really into the computer thing, there’s the Control+Alt+Delete licorice from the fine folks at CtrlAltDel.org.

I just ordered a Domino’s Pizza actually and while the whole Pizza Tracker idea is cool and all, I don’t really like the eyesore of the cheesy (pun intended) graphics flooding my screen real estate.
