From: Hack N Mod - Amazingly Cool Hacks, Mods, and DIY P
I always love to see what people can create from old computers.
Combining all those LEDs, lights, circuit boards to create a
recycled masterpiece. The newest example is the item in the picture
above. While it’s not quite as impressive as the
previous table case mod we posted, but still a superb build. The
microchips were [...]

Day table made of wood, tracks light
Alex Schlegel built this most excellent day table. Besides being
just a pretty table, it has a set of LEDS and a sensor embedded in
it, and it displays the current and past light on them: The Day
Table table acts as a record of the previous day by sensing ambient
light levels in its environment and displaying them through 24 LED
strips embedded just below its surface. The rightmost LEDs show the
most recent light levels and the leftmost show the light levels of
a day ago. Day and night transitions can be seen, as well as human
activity through actions such as turning lights on and off in the
room where the table resides. Source code and build pl...
Excess Computer Parts? Build an Epic DIY Circuit Board Table!
Odds are, if you’re reading Hack N Mod, you’ve probably
got old computer parts lying around the house. Should
you continue to let it sit and collect dust?Â
Nay! That’s blasphemy! Instead,
turn them into an epic circuit board table and behold it’s

DIY Folding Table Saves Space, Doubles As Picture Frame
Don't have a lot of space for a kitchen table but would love the
option of a sit-down meal from time to time? This clever picture
table design is a beautiful solution—and one you could
certainly do yourself. From the folks at Ivy Design, the picture
table folds down when you need it, and when you don't, it folds
unobtrusively up to the wall, doubling as a picture frame. They
don't offer any specific schematics (they're selling their design),
but it seems like something you could figure out for your own space
easily enough. The folks at DIY blog Make even highlight a similar
design from a DIY furniture book from the 70's. Either way, it's a
clever idea, and cou...
Needs more LEDs, EMSL biggified Conway’s Game of Life
Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories has proven bigger is better with
their colossal LED table running Conway’s Game of Life. At
the heart of the system is 44 ATmega164Ps controlling 352 LEDs on a
32×44 inch table; and to make it interactive IR LEDs detect
the presence of objects. The display is set up as an [...]
Robotic ball rolls via phone control
Gearbox's smartphone-controlled ball looks quite cool, offers much
potential for creative game ideas -So basically how
HTC/Android/Apple make smart phones, we make smart toys. Our first
smart toy is a robotic ball that you can move by tilting your phone
in the direction you want the ball to roll. We are then leveraging
the connectivity and computing power of the phone to create a fully
interactive experience for the user. Our first app for the ball is
Sumo. I throw my ball on a table, you throws yours on the table and
then we can try and sumo each others ball off the
table.[…]Aside from the games we produce we
are also opening up the APIs for the ball so any app developer with
no ha...
