Ahh… wonderful home automation

August 24th, 2012 No comments

Just saw this on Amazon.com, it’s a pretty nifty thermostat. Automatically learns when you’re home and away, can be controlled with a smartphone, saves energy, etc.

I have a Honeywell Visionpro 8000 and I thought it was great when it came out (like 10 years ago), but this is the next step. Check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ML9J4O/ref=amb_link_363389382_2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=right-3&pf_rd_r=1XSZR79NMCFF2NT5A9TP&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1374036862&pf_rd_i=507846

At $250, it’s not exactly cheap, but I imagine it could save a bit of dough once installed.

So Long Plastic: Google Wallet Now Uses Any Credit Card

August 6th, 2012 No comments

I’m glad I have a Nexus S 4g phone, and that Google Wallet finally supports cards other than citibank mastercards…

Might get to try this out soon.

We’re all going to die soon…

From what some researchers have found anyway.

Although, I’ve heard other things from different “researchers” that probably think these guys are idiots.  Only time will tell I guess…

Build your own sentry gun!

April 9th, 2012 No comments

http://projectsentrygun.rudolphlabs.com/

Welcome to Project Sentry Gun, home to the most versatile sentry gun on the web!

Now in use on six continents!

This sentry gun autonomously tracks, aims, and shoots at targets, using:
  • An airsoft or paintball gun
  • A webcam to find targets
  • A computer to process the video feed and aim the gun
  • Servo motors to physically aim the gun and squeeze the trigger
  • A sturdy tripod base
  • A microcontroller to interface between the computer and the servo motors
  • Fully open-source code
  • Lots of camo paint
 The end result is a paintball/airsoft spewing robot, that can turn the tides of any match.

A commenter says this, and I agree: “Heck I wouldn’t have minded a Google beer, its the only thing that won’t be collecting private information.”
