What if you could turn any conductive surface into an instrument? Like, say…a mug of water? Best of all, it’s cheap; you’ll only need $1 worth of extra electrical components (not including the Arduino). For this project, my friend Harvest and I combined Disney’s Touché touch-sensing system with Arduino, and then used ChucK to generate […]

This instructable builds on top of the Geiger counter triggered LED decorations I made last year. This version powers the Geiger counter from the Arduino (itself now powered from a mains adaptor, so I no longer need to keep feeding them batteries) and the LEDs now fade in and out for a more gentle effect.

So have you heard of sous vide? Well, this Lazy Old Geek (LOG) hasn’t or hadn’t. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-vide It’s French. So it’s kind of like boil-in-a-bag only you don’t boil it. The equipment can be rather expensive. http://www.sousvidesupreme.com/Shop_Online/SousVide_Supreme_Demi/Department.aspx?DeptID=3&&AdID=245&gclid=CN7PyM6uw7cCFWNp7AodomkA6g I thought that was rather expensive for a tender steak, so I decided to make my own. There

These days I was reading an interesting post on how to make yogurt “by the gallon,” which explained the need to maintain a constant temperature of about 43ºC (110°F) so the bacteria can grow properly. Commercial yogurt makers are available, but they’re usually too small for producing a full gallon at once. Building your own
