Something was getting into my garbage at night. I also believe whatever it is has been pirating my wi-fi. Despite what those naysayers at Animal Control or Virginia Department of Fish and Game said, I was pretty sure it was a panda bear. Perhaps it had escaped from a nearby zoo, or maybe the g...Source: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Catch-a-Panda/

Here's a great MacGyver tip on how to make a remote (very remote) camera trigger using a couple of walkie talkies. This idea came from the desire to take nature photography from a remote location and a unique viewpoint (although we're pretty sure by "nature" the inventor means "women's locker room").
Anyway - a very cool project. Putting together some simple electronics is required. Go find out how to make your own walkie-talkie camera trigger. [via]

A clock I built for a friend of mine in the steampunk style; made with an old oak telephone box, analog volt meters, brass switches and accents, a wind-up mechanism and some surprises. 
The first time I saw a steampunk keyboard on the internet was a couple of years ago, and since then have seen a few on Instructables. From the very first time I saw one of these keyboards I knew I would have to make one. The keyboard projects I've seen on the web seem to fall into two categorie...Source: http://www.instructables.com/id/Customized-computer-keyboard/

This week, the last standing typewriter factory in the world closed up shop. But you can still keep the spirit alive with these craft ideas.
I'll admit, it was a blow to hear that that no new typewriters will be produced -- after all, they have a special nostalgic place in my heart next to Polaroid film. But it's not fair to get too hung up over the news: If nothing else, it's highly hypocritical, considering I'm typing this on a computer.
But while you can't expect companies to continue to produce typewriters when the sales have plummeted, you can count on the crafters on Etsy to produce beautiful tributes to the typewriter. As we take a moment of silence, check out the work of these brilliant DIYers.
Clockwise from top left:
Typewriter Necklace 18K Gold Plated Brass, $24, CuteAbility
Self Inking Custom Ribber Address Stamp, $28, NoteTrunk
Olivetti Green Fine Art Archival Print, $15, virginiakraljevic
Retro Type Set, $25 for 4, MeadowTea
Just My Type Pillow, $22, iloveinkling
Background: Proper Coffee tea towel, $14.25, MrPS
