No commentsSee? The Dreamcast and the iMac Can Be Friends
What do you get when you combine the power of a Sega Dreamcast with the shitty display of an old 1999 iMac? The iCast, of course.
The clutch part of this mod, however, is that creator Logicdustbin was able to squeeze the entire Dreamcast console inside the plastic shell of the iMac. The controller ports even run out the front. Bravo. Now do you think you can turn it into a guitar amp? Try that out for size, kiddo.

No commentsMake Your Own Ball Bearing Sequencer
In the latest issue of MAKE, there are instructions for a DIY project that is long overdue. If you’re into creating digital music, by now you’ve surely seen the video of a ball bearing sequencer on YouTube. You haven’t? Well watch the above video and you’ll be brought up to speed.
Essentially, you move the metal balls around to different areas of the setup to create beats. It works like a standard 16-step sequencer except that the possibilities for innovation are endless. Building your own will take a lot of time, money and effort, but the payoff will be priceless.

No commentsSesame Street Duct Tape Wallets
Here’s a DIY I’d like you to see
It’s something that’ll make you happy
Wallets with faces made from duct tape
The Count is there but now he doesn’t have his cape
Cookie Monster always eats a lot
Elmo looks like he’s been smoking pot
Bert and Ernie will get lost in your couch
And no one wants to buy Oscar the Grouch
If you want one let me tell you how
You can plunk down thirteen dollars and get one now
Homemade creations are always the best
Not having money can be a real pest
So now you’ve seen the wallets
I hope you will enjoy
Our coverage of something
I like to call DIY

No commentsSwitzerland: Flying In Style
Is this a museum? An art installation? Absolutely not. This is an airplane and its destination is Switzerland. Swiss Airlines is offering up gorgeous work cubicles for its fliers who need to get work done in style. Need Internet? No problem. A little TV for you, sir? Of course, of course.
While my boss, Steve Rufer, will gladly visit me in America using Swiss, I’m forced to crawl into an over sized duffel bag. He then sneaks me back in the cargo hatch of the plane and throws me salted peanuts during the 10-hour flight. Oh what a life!
