How Not Tos
Tim writes -
Here's a collection of projects that didn't work, mistakes, and accidents. I'll be adding to this collection as time goes on.How Not To - Link.
That's for sure. Unfortunately.For starters, here are the impossible rollerskates. Also known as caster skates. Ian Alex demonstrates how to use them. Stand up, Move legs, fall down. To make your pair, just screw some casters to boards and tape them to your feet as shown. Enjoy!

Seoul's electronic and mechanical components markets (photos)
Electromarketman sent in an incredible set of photos from Seoul's electronic and mechanical components markets, he writes -
I was just in Seoul and took these pictures. For everyone who has ever slogged through Home depot trying to find a particular little nut or bolt or bearing, and for everyone who likes to buy electronic components by the gallon, Seoul is heaven. I have included limited instructions on how to get there, in the text of the Flickr set. Unfortunately there are very few good English maps of Seoul.Seoul's electronic and mechanical components markets (photos) - Link.

3D "mass customization"
Kendall writes -
If I understand correctly, the company has patent-pending some technology that lets anybody design & selling anything through 3D printing into a seamless package that allows anybody with an idea to find a designer (crowdsourcing), design their own products, promote it to the world and let customers buy it without a factory or supply chain. They supposedly will also allow tweaking of a product through the website so you get to see it in real time. If your into product development or have a new product to bring to market, I can see how this might be advantageous since you can print on demand, there is no need for a supply chain, inventory or tooling. I found out about the company at a recent social event in Austin and being in the product development market myself, there might be some benefit to such a system.Digital Reality, Inc. - Link.
I clicked around and the idea seems like a post for our "News from the Future" section but it doesn't appear that they're operational yet.

Visualization of email as microbes
Here's a fun visualization of email as microbes by Carolin Horn -
Anymails is a visualization of my received emails. I have investigated how I can use natural metaphors to visualize my inbox, its structure and attributes. The metaphor of microbes is used. My objective is to offer the user another experience of his email world.Anymails - [via] Link.The project was developed during the MFA thesis "Natural Metaphor For Information Visuzalization" (thesis.zip, PDF, 7mb) at the Dynamic Media Intitute Boston in 2007.
The emails used in the prototype are read from the users local Apple Mail database. The prototype was built with Flash and Processing. The Anymails source code (OS-X 10.4.9 ppc) is available for download.

Dungeons of Doom by Greg Sanders
Julian writes -
Coolest Altoids/Tin mod I've seen. This guy (Greg Sanders) made a portable game box that plays a rogue like game. He uses a Genesis controller to control the actual game, but I'd bet with a little work the entire unit could be entirely self-contained (by using a tipping-disk for directional control and one button for action). See here too (a pretty cool site itself) for useful controller schematics.Dungeons of Doom by Greg Sanders - Link.

Five electronics tools you might not know about
Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories write -
You've got your wire strippers and your soldering iron...now what? You probably know that there is a standard set of essential tools that you need on your electronics workbench... However, real tool junkies always want just the right tool for the job. Here are five electronics tools you may not know you were missing. These esoteric tools go a bit beyond the basics that everyone should have.Five electronics tools you might not know about - Link.
Oops, Gareth already posted this - but ya know what? It's still good, even the second time.

Techno-Tools
Dan writes -
If you haven't got tools - the right tools - then you're not a geek. Sorry. It's the truth. Let's take it as read that you already know about screwdrivers and pliers. Even hammer technology is not beyond your ken. Here's some gear you might not have heard of, but without which your PC-fiddling toolbox is not complete.Techno-Tools - Link.
