Finally networking my new house extra

My new house is taking far more time to get into shape than I ever imagined. I’ve finally gotten most of the network and coax drops in place, and I wanted to show off my new mini-rack. Behind the door up top, my home theater gear is hiding. Below, my switch, patch panel, firewall and cable modem are happily humming along.
[Benjamin] send in a quick post on messing with DoorKings.
Another [Ben] sent in this cheap-o multi-touch interface. It’s just a webcam, a glass desk and some software.
[Tarun] sent in this interesting low cost laser range finder project. It’s webcam based, but uses a laser line (laser level style/simple beam splitter) to measure distances.
Oh, I’m freaking house poor this month, so I’m selling off some of my toys. (If you do buy something, let me know and I’ll put some stickers in the shipping box, but only on request – As a rule, we don’t sell our swag!)
Yes, we’re going to do something to get more stickers out there, so stay tuned.
Can we get stickers even if we don’t need a sidekick screen or a mp3 player?
I’d give my left…arm…for a Hack a Day sticker.
