Tyler needed a Mac to do some iPhone development. Instead of running to the Apple Store, he recycled a used/broken Macbook and repackaged it in Linksys browser cases. Look it up…

Altoids Tin Pocket-Sized Watercolor Box
March 25th, 2008
This is my first Instructable, and my entry for the Instructables pocket-sized contest. It’s a Pocket-Sized Watercolor Box in an Altoids tin. I’ve seen people make similar ones and I’ve decided to make my own, using what I had: Fimo clay.
For once, instead of just linking to an Instructable, I wrote one. About time!

Although both “sketchbook” and “watercolor” versions are available, neither is well-suited to my particular requirements.

Volume Limiter for Portable Audio
March 7th, 2008
This project is a bit pointless: a volume limiter that plugs into your iPod or favorite portable audio device, and that you plug your headphones into. Now, given that any intelligent sensible person will lower the volume instead of using this device, its only potential use is forcing your children to use it. However, you know very well that they will unplug it as soon as you turn the back.
Nevertheless, I am featuring this project because of its neat packaging, which can be an inspiration for another more useful project.
