The greatest Rock Band hack to date….

Some nerdy genius decided to tear into his Rock Band guitar and wire up a modification that would allow you to activate overdrive (or star power) by using your real stomp box. The demonstration video is below or click HERE for step-by-step directions.

With a compensator, red dot sight with 11 brightness settings, a CO2 repeater system, and a side mounted tactical flashlight with grip mounted activation switch, the Walther NightHawk is a force for the future. This air pistol shoots 8 shots as fast as you can pull the trigger…. Link

The Bulbdial Clock has no hands, just one pole in the center of the clock.  Towards the outer rim we find three light sources of varying heights which revolve around the pole casting shadows on the dial.  As you can see in the above image, the light sources are each attached to special rings, which rotate around the pole.  There’s the innermost ring that rotates once per minute, analogous to a “second hand”.  Then follows the middle ring, which completes a rotation once per hour and casts the “minute hand” shadow.  Ultimately, the outer ring rotates once every 12 hours, casting the “hour hand” shadow.

Kinda neat….
