Ever want to take a picture of that cool insect you found on your last nature hike but all you had was your iPhone? Well I-Wei, a friend of GeekDad and the great mind behind Crabfu Artworks has a hack for you. By attaching an inexpensive field microscope to his iPhone case he was able to take pictures of the tiny world around us. Check out his video and pictures at The Crabfu Artworks Blog.
I’ve always been a big fan of I-Wei’s steam powered machines so make sure you check out Crabfu Steam Works for some awesome toys.
If you do make an iPhone scope remember to post your pictures to the GeekDad Flickr Group

Nickelback – Rockstar (with lyrics)

Lyrics for the song. Click here if the sound quality is a bit low: www.youtube.com Lyrics: I’m through with standing in line To clubs we’ll never get in It’s like the bottom of the ninth And I’m never gonna win This life hasn’t turned out Quite the way I want it to be (Tell me what you want) I want a brand new house On an episode of Cribs And a bathroom I can play baseball in And a king size tub big enough For ten plus me (So what you need?) I’ll need a credit card that’s got no limit And a big black jet with a bedroom in it Gonna join the mile high club At thirty-seven thousand feet (Been there, done that) I want a new tour bus full of old guitars My own star on Hollywood Boulevard Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me (So how you gonna do it?) I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame I’d even cut my hair and change my name [Chorus:] ‘Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap We’ll all stay skinny ’cause we just won’t eat And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars In the VIP with the movie stars Every good gold digger’s Gonna wind up there Every Playboy bunny With her bleach blond hair Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes Sign a couple autographs So I can eat my meals for free (I’ll have the quesadilla on the house) I’m gonna dress my ass …

PnP – a LEGO Pick & Place Robot
Author: Antonio Pierce
PnP is a very simple (but flexible) LEGO robot that mimics some of the things an industrial robot can do. The arm is very basic, but can address a large workspace using two-axis spherical motion and a parallelogram mechanism to keep the “finger” level at the end. Using NXT-G and the LEGO NXT motors gives it a high accuracy, enough to place 2×4 bricks within a few millimeters of the desired position. The result is that PnP can move simple objects, and a wide variety of “work stations” can be fitted around it. It can also firmly push on things, activating levers or sliding mechanisms. Since the NXT can easily drive at least one more motor, this minimalist mechanism can easily be expanded. This was inspired by Ian Hendry’s amazing LEGO creations, and another project that seemed to require linear motion… but I wasn’t sure it did.
