Ben Heckendorn brings gladness to my heart with his clever mods and amazing home-built engineering. This latest beauty brings you the Atari, including cartridge-as-sunshade, in a portable format. Here’s the link to the Engadget post, and here’s the link to Ben’s page for this project. It’s not quite nuclear fusion, but’s it’s right up [...]

Ben Heckendorn Rocks the Atari. . .Again

As if we needed proof. I consider myself a fairly handy guy; I do most of my own repairs on my motorcycle and cars, I build and fix my own computers, I run a Linux firewall I built and configured, and I can do minor home repairs. I (mostly) successfully modded a PSP to [...]
Neither my wife nor I have a good record of checking pockets prior to laundry time, and my nano is the latest victim. What’s worse, we recently got a fancy new LG washing machine, which sounds like a 777 starting up. It’s a beautiful machine, but it’s not good for electronics survivability. The startling thing [...]
Do Australian Crickets Play PS3?
Published by March 22nd, 2007 in Gripes and Playstation. 2 CommentsBecause a soft and soothing chirping noise seems to be the only sound coming from the Australian PS3 launch lines. At least that’s what the following picture would suggest:
I don’t deny that I probably come across as a bit of a Sony hater, but lest you think it’s due to my devotion to some [...]
So it comes to this - Guitar Hero Robot
Published by March 20th, 2007 in Gadgets and Games. 4 CommentsAs if I needed to be shown up in Guitar Hero any more than I already am daily on YouTube. While there are humans with wonderful skills, now we get the chance to test ourselves, John Henry-style, against a machine. Unfortunately, this fellow has no fact to melt, and so faces disqualification from most respected [...]
Personally, I find the whole cosplay thing a bit humorous, but the fanboys in this video display some serious transforming skillz. It boggles my mind to think that anyone would put that much effort into costumes like these, but I bet they get crazy amounts of robot nookie after showing off how many “positions” [...]
More Star Wars - Yoda’s Force FX Lightsaber
Published by March 15th, 2007 in Gadgets and Random. 0 Comments We’re big fans of Master Replicas here at ModStomp, and their green sabers really stand out with nice blades. I felt the hilt for the RotJ Luke saber was a little lame, though, so this is a really nice turn for them to take.
These are pricey collectables, but they’re also among the nicest toys [...]
Speaking of Star Wars in every aspect of life. . .
Published by March 15th, 2007 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsR2 is now willing to accept your mail. Lucas et al are getting together with the USPS to celebrate thirty years of Star Wars. As many of you know, both Rudeboy and I predate Star Wars, but only barely. Thus, the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars kind of reminds one of one’s age.
Rudeboy commented that [...]
Don’t just watch Star Wars - Watch it in STYLE
Published by March 14th, 2007 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsThe guys at Engadget had a post on these funky TIE Fighter speakers, and I thought they were just the thing for your home theater if you happen to be George Lucas. I’d like to see a few more models than just Darth’s TIE Advance, but it’s nice that people finally realize there aren’t enough [...]
