08.17.10How to make a cool keychainRecently I bought some Super Mario keychains to my sons. They loved them, but didn't understand that stupid keychain thing. And removed it so they could play with the figures. Leaving me with all these: To make a long story short: I had a small bag of keys from an old Grass Valley image switcher lying in my drawer. And got an idea. Dremel-time: And ta-daaa: Of course the keys regarding chroma keying are extra cool as keychains: ...and if you don't have such keys you can use keys from another keyboard or something else entirely: So there you are. ...

08.30.09Remove annoying audio from toys and appliancesRecently we bought a new bread baking machine. The kind of device that you program in the evening so that it makes your bread during the night while you sleep. But our new Wilfa BM-25s had one huge design flaw.

As you can see from the picture she was also selling wonderful spices, but it was the raw coffee beans I was interested in. I instantly decided that this is something I have to try. Roasting my own coffee. I bought one kilo. The lady did not speak any english and kept repeating "goreng, goreng!"

04.06.06Perfect adjustment of your LCDWhen connecting my QPVision 37" LCD to my media center through DVI I had no problems running the native resolution of 1366x768 on the screen. This gave me one-to-one pixel mapping and a completely sharp picture. However, my friend Staale ran into some problems that seem to be quite common. He did some tests and created a simple and very effective test pattern that can help you find the right resolution. It seems like quite a bit of LCD screens that has a resolution of 1366x768 report to the screen cards that the correct resolution is 1360x768. Seems like a small difference, ...
