USB Digital Video Rocket Camera

Here's a novel idea. This rocket is made by Estes, the famous makers of model rockets. What you get is a view of the rocket’s liftoff and flight from the rocket’s point of view. That’s because it has an impact-resistant digital camera in the nose cone. It can reach as high as 300 feet and the onboard camera can record a 12-second video at 640 x 480 pixel resolution.

The film slides or negatives fit perfectly into it and scans the photograph into a digital frame on your computer.The resolution is 5 mega pixels with 10 bits per color channel.

Retro Vintage Camera Webcam

You know there are too many webcams on the market when they start making one camera look like another...camera. But I have to admit, it's kinda cool for those of us who appreciate vintage cameras. Takes 1.3 megapixel pictures and it’s compatible with all Microsoft OS (including Vista) and Mac OS X.

Shameless Self Promotion- Meet The New Robot

This guy...ah...gal...was made using an old jello mold, vintage Kodak Duaflex camera, some robot arms surgically removed from a piece of crap Radio Shack robot, a power box casing, a nintendo game cube controller's "x" and "y" button for the cool "ears" and a few other doo-dads.

Funny thing about this one is, I thought I was building a male robot, despite the skirt. But my wife keeps telling me it is a her. She doesn't have a name yet.

If it wasn't such a busy week I would make it so her insides light up with red light shooting out of the camera lens. She is just going to have to settle for looking pretty without it.
