We have all heard of Macquariums, and I have even built a few, but have you ever heard of a Mac Pinhole Camera? Here is how I built one for International Pinhole Camera day (4/29/07). I just know there is an old Mac sitting in your basement... go ahead, it is time to void the warranty!

Not quite one pixel, more like 'no lens'. I'm sure that you could count the silver particles on the paper as 'pixels' if you wanted to. Not sure how it's digital. Lens cap on/off maybe? Still, a cool post.
