Cool Mods – Homemade IM / Skype photo frame tells you when your contacts are online

Check out this cool homemade photo frame from moder David Bue Pedersen of Volunteer Lab Rat. It lights up various photos in the frame when your friends come online.

im / skype photo frame

“Don’t want to get off the couch to se who’s online on Skype og MSN? Me neither! That’s why I’ve built myself a LED illuminated picture frame that indicate who’s online on my instant messenger. I desided to make a picture frame to support five small passport sized portraits. I made a base in hardwood with two long grooves in which some sheets of polycarbonate could be inserted. I used a metal working mill to cut the grooves but a hand-held wood router should make just as fine cuts.

Check out these geeky Steampunk watch cufflinks.

steampunk cufflinks

Real vintage watchworks mounted on brass clock gears, and then on silverplate cufflink findings. They don’t tick anymore, but they are still really cute and stylish! The cufflinks are a “close” perfect match, similar enough in looks to have a nice appearance. This set has really lovely, bright rubies in it.

These cufflinks measure 2/3 of an inch across (20mm), and a bit heavier than the other ones. Great for you big guys who don’t want any “girlie little jewelry”. Manly-man cuff links! ;-)

UK Web Firm looking to bring Live TV Streaming to the iPhone

A UK web company is looking to bring live TV streaming to Apple’s iPhone.

iphone TV

London based technology specialist Best Before had developed server based technology called ‘Millicent’ that will allow broadcasters to provide an edited video feed that can be watched on the iPhone.

iPhone users will be able to view live TV through it’s Safari browser over a Wifi network, and it may possibly work over the Edge network as well.

The company has confirmed it is in talks with major broadcasters who are interested in bringing live TV to the iPhone.

“Even two years ago the idea of broadcasting to phones would have cost millions, so we can test how far the technology has changed,” said Mark Rock, the Best Before chief executive.

“Whatever people think of the iPhone it has fundamentally changed the market because the carriers no longer assume people are happy with a walled garden of services. The time has come for a new approach.”

This sounds like a great idea, I have been using the BBC iPlayer on the iPhone for a while now and have found it very useful, but being able to watch live TV on the iPhone would be even better.
