There is the pianist. There is the fisherman. Then there is the guy with a lot of time who enjoys making pianos into aquariums which is totally awesome. He started with a television and then got the idea for a piano aquarium. So he hollowed out an old piano, wired up everything including the filter, lights, pumps, and heaters and then put it all back to look like a piano.
And get this, he plans on making the piano playable again.

just think about how much energy you waste when you pound your heels into the ground while walking or jogging. you exert a lot of effort fighting gravity to lift your foot and body from the ground, only to let gravity take over, allowing your body to fall forward onto your heel again and wear another layer from the sole of your sneaker.
the kind folks at the mit media lab decided to do something about this. by placing a piezoelectric element or a rotary magnetic generator into the heel of your shoe, you can effectively recycle some of your strut and use it for a mobile device.
it’s like regenerative braking for your feet.

benjamin heckendorn of portable playstation 2 fame has been working on a prototype for a mass produced portable atari 2600, code named ‘phoenix’.
it has a 3.5″ screen, takes 6 aa batteries, uses standard atari game cartridges, and will someday allow me to play hours and hours of joust and moon patrol on international flights.
ben recently started a phoenix blog to help us stay on top of the latest phoenix development news. thanks for the tip jesse!
