Become a criminal investigator, with superglue
Sam writes -
This instructable describes the process of building a chamber for superglue fuming. Superglue fuming is a method employed by criminal investigators in order to take and preserve fingerprints, before sending them to the lab. By heating superglue, the fumes react with the oils left by the fingers on the suspect object, revealing latent fingerprints and preserving them. Making a fuming chamber is actually pretty simple and relatively safe, if you follow a few safety precautions. I will show you how to build a quick makeshift chamber that nonetheless works very well.Become a criminal investigator - superglue fuming - Link.

Bare bones Arduino time lapse
Steve writes -
Modern Device has a *really* sweet electronics kit for $15 that has most of the Arduino functionality at about half the price. What’s even better is that it’s about 1/3 smaller than the arduino board. Also, it now has 6 pulse width modulators due to it using an upgraded version of the microcontroller chip than the older one I had. What’s really fantastic is that this kit goes together really easily, and if you buy 10 of them, the price drops to $10 a piece… ! And it’s still an arduino! So the programming environment is cross platform and open source… just like the hardware!bare bones arduino at Steve Cooley Fine Art - Link.

Cure that crooked picture frame with rubber feet
Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories with a poster hanging tip -
What do you do about a picture that just won't hang straight? We got a great new poster and promptly hung it prominently in the dining room. However, the poster frame just wouldn't hang straight on its own. We'd like to share our quick and easy solution with you: rubber feet.Cure that crooked picture frame with rubber feet - Link.
Does that poster look familiar? It's our eBoy Maker Faire poster - now available in the Maker store! - Link.

Make a Balloon Flinging Siege Weapon - Make: Video Podcast
This weekend, make a human powered siege weapon. Using a human as a counter-weight and PVC piping for the structure, this catapult can hurl water balloons 100 yards or more.
For this project I joined forces with siege weapon builder William Gurstelle. As soon as we had cut the pieces, we loose fit them together and started hurling balloons. We built this at Maker Faire and after nearly hitting a human target, it didn't take long for the safety officer to come along and tell us to move along. We found an out of the way spot and switched from firing water balloons to firing a plastic cow! Fetchez La Vaca!
Weekend Projects is sponsored by Microchip Technology. Check out their seminars and 16 bit contest.
Sidenote to the audio engineers out there: It was a windy day. I wish I'd had a wind sock!
Make sure to download the pdf and read the article for all the background and step by step instructions! These instructions are an excerpt from William's bok The Art of the Catapult. If you want to get the Make: Video Podcast and PDFcast downloaded automatically, you can subscribe in itunes. - Link

HOW TO - Read Wii nunchuck data into an Arduino
Chad writes -
I was able to get an Arduino board to read in data from a wii nunchuck. You can read the joystick, buttons and accelerometer data. Using the nunchuck is even cheaper than buying an acceleromter by itself.Read wii nunchuck data into arduino | Windmeadow Labs - [via] Link.

Steampunk LCD monitor mod
Jake (re)made an incredible steam punk - victorian era monitor mod, he writes...
The Steampunk Keyboard looked terribly anachronistic sitting in front of my Dell 1907FP flat panel monitor and while I hesitated to tear open a $300 monitor that was still under warantee, art must be served.

Beginning embedded electronics
Spark Fun has a new series of tutorials, here's the first, beginning embedded electronics -
This is a series of lectures written for those with mild electronics background (aka Sophomore in Electrical and Computer Engineering) to learn about the wild world of Embedded Electronics. I assume only that you know what electricity is and that you've touched an electrical component. Everything else is spelled out as much as possible. There is quite a lot here so take your time! It is also my intention to get book-hardened EE's students to put down the calculator and to plug in an LED. Remember, if it smokes, at least you learned what not to do next time!Spark Fun Electronics - Link.

HOW TO - Make a cozy boat
Here's another great video from Know How, make a cozy boat! -
A little boat like a floating papasan chair. Perfect to lay in and look at the sky. Exactly big enough for two people to snuggle. The supermodels in the boat are Arwen and Saul. This boat is part umiak, part currach, part coracle, part papasan chair. The book "Umiak" by Skip Snaith will fill in any construction details that aren't clear here.
