Hacking Pizza with PizzaHacker

Earlier this week I was exiting an event in San Francisco's Potrero Hill neighborhood when I bumped into PizzaHacker and his amazing Franken-Webber portable wood burning pizza oven.

Drive-by guerilla street food is some of the best food out there. Just glancing at the prep table I noticed the choicest ingredients. Fresh basil, buffalo mozzarella, smoked salt? Further investigation finds that PizzaHacker uses sauce made exclusively from organic heirloom tomatoes and hand kneads his naturally leavened sourdough for what some say rivals the most trendy pizza establishments in the area.

Part of what makes this open air culinary spectacle work is the heavily modded Webber 22.5" grill that's been outfitted with fireproof blocks and a domed top comprised of refactory cement and perlite that's been molded in the original Webber top. Using chunks of wood and charcoal, the Franken-Webber quickly reaches 1000F (the ideal temperature for cooking authentic Neopolitan-style pizza).

Here's a video from PizzaHacker's site:

The Anywhere Organ nominated for a grant from The Fun Theory

The Anywhere Organ is a amazing musical instrument project that desperately needs your help. By voting right now for The Anywhere Organ you help increase it's chance of receiving a $25,000 grant from The Fun Theory. The Anywhere Organ is the brainchild of über-maker Matthew Borgatti. You might remember some of Matthew's work on MST3shades, Printable Handcuffs, Bokode, the Best of Instructables, and Fairytale Fashion. Act now! (if you like it) The voting ends Friday.

Pipe organs are incredible, awesome instruments. One incredible aspect that contributes to their awesomeness is their ability to play a space. Each space an organ resides in reacts differently, creating different tones, and essentially allowing room for an infinite variety of instruments. Unfortunately nearly every pipe organ in existence is bolted irrevocably into a wall staring longingly at fornications all day. This is why I'm creating the Anywhere Organ.

I've designed a system where each note, each pipe of a pipe organ is attached to a central air supply through a hose. The air to each organ pipe is controlled by a solenoid valve articulated through Arduino. I'm writing modules to take MIDI keyboard information and translate it to the valves. Each hose is independent making for an octopus like instrument where each separate pipe can be installed with care and consideration relative to the space. This means the instrument can be installed anywhere; a park, a fire escape, an abandoned warehouse, a secret underwater cave. The pipes can be distributed to take advantage each location's specific character and personality. It also means that anyone can participate in the project and take a turn. I'd like to get people playing with the Anywhere Organ so they can see the effect space has on music and sound, so they have a public venue to fool around with music, and to have an opportunity to collaborate with other musical artists to create new sounds with it.

Solar charging station on a dog

The Solar Dog prototype charger from Erik Schiegg is a solar panel attached to a dog sweater. I'm not sure how efficient it is, but I could see this being handy. [via recombu]

My Android phone is charged in no time... The dog feels good and I'm feeling good and planet mud is turned a little bit more into planet earth. But this idea would be interesting for farmers around the world, letting their animals collect electricity, too.

Wii Wand of Power watchdog circuit

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to get up to go do something, but didn't want to leave a game for fear your system would go to sleep while you were away and you couldn't use a software hack to nudge the system? Maker Todd Harrison had a similar issue and decided to build a device that closes a circuit every 25 seconds inside a Wiimote shaped candy tin.

It's just a simple timing circuit made of discreet elements that engages a reed relay ever 25 sec. This relay in turn closes a circuit in my keyboard for the left arrow key. Being this external circuit is self powered I can simply turn it on when I want a game or application to think I'm at my computer when I'm not. I know there are software hacks that can do this and I did try a lot of them but this particular on line game I play had a way to block such software hacks. I had to go old school, which is not hard for an old guy, and do it with hardware.

Automatic wireless drink mixer

The Automatic wireless drink mixer is a final project for a group from the University of Washington's Electrical Engineering department (ee478). There's a wireless touchpad interface that talks to the main unit via xbee, an RFID cup interface that keeps track of what you drink, and the whole thing is controlled by a PIC32. [via borntechie]

LED Wine Charms Instructable

Eventually somebody loses track of what glass they're drinking out of at almost every dinner party I attend. That's what those little wine charms are for. I really dig this LED wine charm instructable from billr. They're geeky, festive, and yet another excuse to add an LED to something that would otherwise forgo illumination.
