MAKE Magazine:- This is the fanciest first aid kit I've ever seen! MacGuffin Films made this one up with everything they might need for a location shoot for about $235 total, not including the $55 Husky case. In addition to bandaging cuts and scrapes, this kit can ease almost any ailment that would delay filming. Parts list after the jump. Photos by Nathan Rosenquist.More: Toolbox: First aid

Hack a Day:- Researchers at the University of Liege have developed an algorithm to separate movement from background. They call it ViBe and this patented piece of code comes in at under 100 lines of C. Above you can see the proof of concept shown by hacking the code into CHDK, a Canon PowerShot alternative firmware. The package [...]

MAKE Magazine:- By way of maker muse Jeri Ellsworth comes this great project log site, 4HV.org, for those pursuing high-voltage projects. We've linked to a few projects from here over the years, but it's worth bringing it to the top again. Seen here is Marko's DRSSTC (Double Resonant Solid State Tesla Coil). [Thanks, Jeri!] And it goes without saying that high-voltage electricity can be very dangerous and is only for those who have enough knowledge and experience to know exactly what those dangers are and how to avoid them.

MAKE Magazine:- Brian Doom, that is. And since the website of Doom doesn't include any information to the contrary, I'm going to go ahead and assume Brian must be a doctor of something or other. For obvious reasons. Anyway, Dr. Doom saw this morning's Rubik's cube for the blind post and did one of my very favoritest things for a reader to do: He one-upped me. Best of all, he one-upped me with his own work. This modded cube he...

MAKE Magazine:- MAKE magazine contributor Bill Bumgarner (who wrote the "Pinball, Resurrected" piece in MAKE Volume 08), wanted a kegerator (keg refrigerator) for his homebrewed beer. He didn't want to buy one (they can be expensive), so he built one. He started with a cheap Home Depot 5 cubic foot chest freezer. He extended the lid and stacked a couple of 2 x 4s in-between the lid and the body of...

Hack a Day:- [Joel] has a very specific color temperature of lighting he wants in his home. So specific, he’s decided to build his own LED lighting to get it. Actually, he’s still searching for that perfect shade of white, but doing so has learned a lot.  He initially made some very pretty PCBs, but then found that [...]

Hack a Day:- An accurate drill press is an essential tool for making your own through-hole printed circuit boards at home. Reader [Josh Ashby] offers up a solid design using scrap bin materials. A major issue with PCB drilling is that even the slightest horizontal play will snap the delicate carbide drill bit. Hobbyist-grade tools such as Dremel’s drill [...]

The board adds a few extra goodies, such as a choice of mini-USB connector or barrel-jack to provide regulated power to the chip. There’s also a clock crystal for the internal RTC [...]
