iMac nightlight

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Feb 28th, 2007

What do you do when you're an artist and your lime iMac dies? Why, you get yourself to Ikea, pick up some lights, scoop out the iMac's guts, and make an iMac night light. The translucent plastic that is no longer in vogue these days looks fantastic light from within, if you ask me.

How to: Make a travel case for your second gen iPod shuffle

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Nov 6th, 2006

This How To might have a limited audience, since it is only relevant to people who own the following items:

Apple in-ear headphones
a second gen iPod shuffle

The in-ear headphones come with a case that is suitable for use as an iPod shuffle case, with some alterations. Follow these instructions, which consist mainly of getting rid of the pins inside the headphone case, and you've got yourself an Apple branded shuffle case. Pretty sweet.

Steam powered iMac

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Jul 11th, 2006

I spent much of my college days reading Victorian literature, and since I also happen to be a SciFi geek it should shock no one that I enjoy Steampunk (though I would be shocked if many of you even know what Steampunk is). It seems that Jeremy Deller and Alan Kane share my love of melding 21st and 19th century technologies together because they are responsible for the Steam Powered Internet Machine.

It makes me so happy to live in a world where a steam powered iMac exists.

More laser etched Powerbooks

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Apr 14th, 2006

Philip Torrone is at it again. 3 more Powerbooks have received the laser etching treatment (read about the first one he did, or get yours done by ETCHamac). This time the Powerbooks get a NeXT logo, a bunny in a tsunami, and some tasteful blossom branches.

I really want to get this done to my Powerbook, since new tops only cost $35 (for the 15 inchers). Would you do this to your precious Powerbook?

Make a frame out of a Powerbook

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Apr 13th, 2006

Do you have a need for a digital picture frame and own an old Powerbook you no longer want? Well then, you should craft your own digital picture frame out of your Powerbook following these directions. If only I hadn't traded in my old TiBook for an Aluminum Powerbook.
