Adding command tools to Android without rooting the box
Basically the author is using busybox under the hood. A good idea and will avoid “voiding” your lic. agreement on an android device. http://hackaday.com/2012/12/05/common-linux-tools-on-android-without-root-by-installing-busybox/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+hackaday%2FLgoM+%28Hack+a+Day%29

And you thought being on a Short Bus in the US was bad
It could have been worse….Its a funny gallery of what qualifies for a “school bus” in other countries. http://gizmodo.com/5964677/a-dozen-short-buses-you-wouldnt-make-jokes-about/gallery/1

Wasn’t I just saying Mexicans should just buy WWII tanks?
I had mentioned in this post that the Mexicans should just buy old WWII restored armored cars instead of DIY. And look, In Indiana they are having a huge auction of the stuff….sigh.. If you see any gangster style folks … Continue reading

Opensource simple password generator USB device
Nice little design for a password generator/ authentication token for USB. Not sure how secure it is, and I think the YubiKey would be a better solution for about the same cost (unless you get this one in quantity) http://myweb.cableone.net/benlunt/blog/2012/09/index.html#Password_Generator
Another justification for 3D Printer
Basically the author talks about how a $600 dollar 3D printer kit, the printerbot, helped him create a replacement part for his dishwasher. This is another good reason to have a 3D printer since getting parts for some of the … Continue reading

Networking for Arduino
Interesting idea, basically to save the # of pins used the gent came up with a serial port meets token ring sort of protocol…or at least that what it sounds like. http://hackaday.com/2012/12/03/inventing-networking-protocols-for-dozens-of-arduinos/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+hackaday%2FLgoM+%28Hack+a+Day%29

Use a Laptop as a 2nd Display
Nice idea, but I would rather spend the couple of bucks and buy a 19 inch or better monitor. http://hackaday.com/2012/12/05/use-an-old-laptop-as-a-second-desktop-display/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+hackaday%2FLgoM+%28Hack+a+Day%29

3D printed Gun fires 6 real bullets

Xerox the Brainiest?
Xerox apparently is thought of as one of the braniest companies. Why? Its mostly based on unique patents filed. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20121205/BUSINESS/312050058/Xerox-Corning-Delphi-among-brainiest-companies?odyssey=tab%7Cmostpopular%7Ctext%7CBUSINESS
