Pacman on Excel



Pacman

All actions are expressed by rewriting of a cell background color. Each one of cells as a dot, and move it by make cell's background color high-speed rewriting. Although I did not think it's possiblele, but now it's possiblele by the favor of the improvement in a performance of a personal computer. The window zoom is 10%, so the each cell can not be seen. But it is A CELL.”

Even works on Excel 2007, and there's a version of space invaders available aswell.

Sony's Hyperdragging desktop lets you drag things off your monitor and onto a table. I can't really see where you'd use it, but it's a nice gimmick.

42-string Guitar to intimidate Jimmy Page



Posted in Technology

Uberguitar

Double neck guitars are old hat, so make way for the Pikasso, a 42-sting guitar that was borne out of a challenge to make a guitar with “as many strings as possible.” The guitar has four necks and two sound holes. The Pikasso took two years and over a thousand man hours to build.

Make your own keyboard



Posted in Technology

Leet keyboardYou can convert a standard MS keyboard to a Minority Report style touch pad by removing the outer case.

There are 3 plastic layers. Two, on top and bottom, have the contacts that touch each other to form a keypress. The middle one has holes where the keys were, so if you leave the keyboard flat, the contacts are a quarter of a millimeter away from each other, held there by the middle layer. However, press any spot, and the contacts touch, the equivalent of a keypress.
