ElephantStaircase: “What is Elephant Staircase?

Elephant Staircase is a wiki made up of pages detailing ridiculously sweet projects. These projects range from do-it-yourself projects, to hacking/modding (legally of course), to cool ideas for random stuff, to random cool things to do with your time and money. Basically a cookbook for the technically inclined, scientifically fascinated, geeks, nerds, mechancially curious, l33t, or just anyone who cares.”

For example:

Ryan Brooks’s Nixie Clock: “So, I wanted a Nixie clock and I really wanted to design the hardware and program it myself. Most of the kits out there are based around a PIC or some other new, easy to use microcontroller. I thought it would be much more interesting to make a clock powered by an old school computer.”

It’s funny how some technologies come back around - not because they are inherently better at doing what they are designed to do (for example a £2 quartz watch is more accurate than most mechanical watches costing many hundreds of times as much), but because they have some intrinsic quality that we are drawn to. This for example is just beautiful to me; primarily because of the feel of the Nixie tubes. I want it!

OOh makes me almost giddy with excitement as to what could be done… We might actually see some interfaces that are totally intuitive!

World of Apple - Multi-Touch Interaction Video: “This page contains a video and several images showing some of the touch screen patents that Apple owns. Although the video appears to be for research purposes it contains some interesting footage on just how these patents could be used.”

Parallax to intro Scribbler programmable robot: “

Gather ‘round, robot hackers, for Parallax is set to drop a new, fully programmable, intelligent robot with multiple

sensor systems allowing it to interact with objects, people and, of course, pets. The Scribbler robot can self-navigate

and report back about what it senses via light and sound. A BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller is its reprogrammable brain,

which can be hooked up via serial cable to your PC and imbued with dastardly deeds. If you pre-order before August 23

the price is $89, and it’ll retail for $99 after it starts shipping on that date.

The coolest! I get really bored of very over-designed speakers; but these just break every mold!
