Coolest Things I’ve Built

Here’s a small collection of some projects that I’ve built over the years.

1. This was fun, I took a Kindle and jailbroke it so that I could use the display to show whatever I wanted to. I don’t remember how I got to work but I’m sure theres a forum post somewhere that can guide anyone interested.

2. I did this for my high school math final, it was tricky to get the data to work. FYI this controlled a browser version of Subway Surfers, not the actual mobile phone game.

3. My screaming plant, this idea is hilarious and I’m grateful to the friends who let me record their screams for this.

4. My WiiMote video is a classic and one that I still piece together when I get bored. I added a mic as well so I didn’t even have to use my keyboard anymore.

5. My curtain closer was a tricky engineering ordeal but got it to work and it helped make my wake ups more pleasurable.

6. My Neuotrogina clock is a small display and ESP12E with a voltage regulator and a whole drilled in the back to feed in a power cable.

In the realm of DIY projects, creativity knows no bounds. From turning a Kindle into a customizable display to engineering a wearable device that allows you to play Subway Surfers using your body movements, innovation is at the core of these creations. For instance, the concept of the 'screaming plant' showcases an interesting intersection of nature and technology, where the plant communicates its needs through recorded screams, engaging friends in a fun way. Similarly, the integration of the WiiMote with personal computers provides a nostalgic yet practical approach to controlling technology without traditional input devices. Moreover, the curtain closer utilizes engineering principles that give a mundane function a delightful twist, making wake-ups more enjoyable. On a different note, the Neuotrogina clock transforms a simple cosmetic container into a multifunctional device that presents time, weather, and news updates. These projects not only highlight personal ingenuity but also inspire others to explore technology's capabilities in their lives. Coupled with the right tools and community support, anyone can embark on their own creative journey, leading to exciting and unexpected outcomes.
