Electricity in the Air
2.13.2008 at 10:50pm - Comment by tsaukpaetraIf it was really this easy to "Transmit" electricity, then why don't we just use existing radio waves (hmm, maybe even static noise) to do the same thing? Besides, there is the fundamental law of energy to make use: However much power you would need to light that bulb you would have to put into radiation (erm, radio/electromagnetic). Aren't there laws and safety regulations against that?

The $1 Touchpad Stylus
This project keeps gettin better and better. We just revisited our Tablet PC project in the beginning of the new year and now we have another major advancement in this project. To get you up to speed, our last installment in this saga demonstrated how to make a viable boot disk for the discontinued Fujitsu Stylistic 1000 Tablet PC. Now weve unearthed a workable stylus for under one buck.
