Hack Day Winners

Yahoo recently held *Ahem* Hack Day developers conference/workshop. The winner’s pictured – a ‘blogging purse’. It looks like it just uploads images. The details are a bit on the weak side, but some of the stuff looks neat. The purse contains a camera, basic stamp, pedometer and Nokia phone.
The YBox is some sort of network to TV gateway (Microcontroller, Ethernet, IR reciever, RF out in an altoids tin). Looks like it pulls data from yahoo channels, but supposedly it’s configurable for custom data.
Speaking of contests, [David] pointed out this ARM design contest – entering will garner you a free dev kit.





Wow, I like the y-box!
I just wish that there was a real website about the production of it, and some source code… Gotta love the new PIC’s :)
I can think of way too many uses for $10 ethernet->tv box…
Display the stats for your HAD f@h b0rg on a big huge TV ;0
