If there is one thing I love, it is a great Doctor Who craft, and as I anxiously await Matt Smith’s premiere as the new Doctor next month, Kim2.0 is filling the void left by Tennant’s departure with this great Wooden TARDIS she made from birch & balsa wood and posted on her blog.
Comments rssMy inspiration for making these were the “Tetrius Puzzle Game Magnets” from ThinkGeek. I had a TG gift certificate I had to spend and came across them. I thought they would be cool to put on the fridge or on my metal cabinet at work. As luck would have it, they were out of stock at the time and I started thinking… it should be easy to make something like that at home for much less than $10 for a set. So, what follows is how to make your own.

I saved the best for last. IKEA hacker posted this bjursta table hack by Eric. The table leaves pull out, revealing a Pac-Man sit-down MAME cabinet. Who wouldn’t want to play Pac-Man every night after dinner?
And thus ends Pac-Man week. Let’s hit the arcade!

This is an interesting idea - it’s called Woodpixel. It’s a commercial product that lets you create your own pixel art. It comes with 100 wooden blocks with a different wood tone on each side and it comes with a holder to hold the 100 blocks in place. This would be a great way to make some classic/retro video game art. Their site shows a Space Invader, Mario, and a (poorly done) Pac-man Ghost. They are taking pre-orders now - no word on price. I bet it’s expensive though.
