DIY Laptop Etch-A-Sketch – Dadvine

Anything that combines retro-toys with tech gets my stamp of approval. And – especially because the Etch-A-Sketch hasn’t change the main font of their name since forever ago – I have a soft spot for that analog wonder. Arduino + Etch-A-Sketch makes me wish that I completed more than three of the 160-in-1 electrontic projects in that kit my parents gave me in the 80′s with the hopes that I’d understand all this “computer stuff” and take care of them in their old age. But I digress. Techno-mashups like this are simply inspiring.

What are the five words you don’t want to hear the day before Father’s Day? Good thing I took out the $65 insurance police that included one “accidental breakage”. I figured with two kids that I would need it. Instead, I had to use up my one “accidental breakage” because of my adorably clumsy wife. Brand new Kindle arrived within two business days. Thanks, Service Net Solutions.

Twittering From the Womb

For an NYU ITP project, Corey Menscher rigged up this tummy sensor to a Twitter account that tweets him every time his unborn child kicks the mother. Here an upgrade I hope he never develops: the “sympathy” belt that rigged to follow the tweets and kick the dad’s belly with every new posting using force feedback technology.
