Playing Xbox 360 @ Giant Cowboys Stadium LED wall

koibito — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:12:18 +0000

The 72 x 160-foot LED wall at the center of the new Cowboys Stadium is certainly impressive enough when it’s showing game highlights or concert footage, but no giant screen ever truly earns its credentials until it’s been put to some real use: playing video games. Thankfully, Jonas Brothers video director Steve Fatone somehow pulled himself away from concert preparations to do just that earlier this week, and apparently became the first person to ever play Xbox 360 on the display in the process. As you can see above and in the gallery below, the two certainly seem to be made for each other, although it looks like the controller can get a tad touchy if you stray too far while trying to play it.

The ultimate diggbait: Digg the Physical

koibito — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 16:05:50 +0000

The Digg button is a very simple beginner electronics that teaches how to solder and program microcontroller. Once made, this basic electronic project mimics the popular Digg.com website: each time you push the button, the button flashes “Dug” and increments the counter up to 999 “diggs”. The project is completely open source, and documented here including parts list, schematics and code. For those who don’t want to try to chase down the electronic components, we have a full kit ready to go in the Adafruit webshop.

Digg.com is a site that allows people all over the globe to discuss and vote on (“digg”) stories. The most popular and talked about stories rise to the top of the page where millions of viewers will see them. Likewise, this button is a simple project that we hope the collective power of Digg will use as a basis for new hacks, mods and projects.

The Digg kit was created when Phillip Torrone (Makezine.com), Kevin Rose (Digg.com) and Ladyada met up for a drink. They thought it might be interesting to inspire the next generation of technologists and hobbyists who frequent Digg with a fun and easy project that not only teaches but is a lot of fun.

koibito — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 05:24:44 +0000

Rubik’s Revolution contains at least six built-in games that feature light, sound and voice effects with numerous ways to play and multiple levels waiting to be unlocked. Ideal for puzzle lovers from 5 to 105, the new electronic cube offers not only individual play, but also exciting multiplayer gaming. Its six core games include: Light SpeedTM, Rapid RechargeTM, Pattern PanicTM, Cube CatcherTM, Code CrackerTM, and Multiplayer MadnessTM.

â€œRubikâ€™s Revolution is truly innovative. Itâ€™s rare that a follow-up can match or even surpass the original in respect to creativity, game play, and fun, but Techno Source has developed a product that achieves this feat,â€ says Jim Silver, editor-in-chief of Toy Wishes magazine. â€œThey’ve kept the key ingredients in that itâ€™s simple to play, but extremely challenging. Anyone with a competitive streak simply wonâ€™t be able to put it down.â€

Vivo Aquariums – Smart Led Fun for Your Kids

koibito — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 14:06:41 +0000

Vivo is a revolutionary range of aquarium products that helps children and their parents to get into fish-keeping. Because Vivo makes it so creative, so much fun and so easy and safe, children retain their interest in caring for their fish, giving them longer and happier lives.

The Vivo aquarium is made from shatterproof acrylic and comes with a low voltage power supply, which powers a small filter and discrete LED lighting concealed within the domed canopy.
The Vivo has a digital display panel on the front of the aquarium to warn the owners when the tank needs to be cleaned or maintained. Each includes an eight-piece obstacle course for fish to swim through, and owners can upgrade their system by installing a theme-pack to make their Vivo look completely different. The aquarium is backed by a full range of accessories including an airpump, automatic feeder, test kit and water treatments.

Vivoâ€™s Digi-care guide prompts children to feed their fish and maintain the water quality. Research with families shows that children take more notice of digital prompts than their parents! Vivoâ€™s â€œno messâ€ filter means changing the filter cartridge is incredibly straight-forward â€“ childâ€™s play in fact. The high specification of the filter also means that it is only necessary to perform a 20% water change every 4 weeks.
