How To Roundup
I’ve managed to be in a lot of Make how-to videos. Each one was pretty fun to do, in it’s own way. Here are my top favorites: First, the Smart Remote Control. This was the craziest one we’d done, and therefore a blast to do. It took a lot of work to make it look
Speaker Goggles
One night I invented infinity goggles, and when I searched the next morning I found out someone else had just published some as a project. I came up with the speaker goggles because I wanted to do something dumb enough that no one else had done it before. Built from a Bluetooth receiver, a class-D
Magic Beef Box
You know when you’re trying to hide beef jerky in a treasure chest, but the lock just isn’t musical enough? And when your old-timey pirate chest is somehow lacking in Zelda references? This practical project was built to address those concerns and more. The Magic Beef Box is a musical secret treasure chest, sponsored by
Pew Pew! Raygun Sounds!

Raspberry Pirrrate Radio
Fun fact, I’ve done some work at an underground blog called Make. Part of that work involved making a small pirate radio station, complete with Art Deco 3D-printed case. For those who doubt me, here’s some proof: That’s me, teaching kids how to build a pirate radio station and leading a bike parade. Check out
Orange Cream Arcade Machine
I built a custom upright arcade machine out of plywood, Formica, and dreams. This was for the lobby of a design firm, so it had to be slick. It’s a beast. This one was done with a custom grill over speakers loud enough to fill a good-sized venue. We permanently set the max volume at
