Old radio made of bakelite. A Philco Transitone from 1948.
Lava lamp still works. Radio would take some repair, but I bet it could work too.
Poi operational.
Do you know how difficult it is to apply a logic probe to a circuit that has two modes: blinding blue light and blinding red light?
(WARNING: do not stare at project with one remaining eye)
Digging through the photo archives, found this fun side project.
Back in 2001/02 my web site had a little interface where you could turn on or off "pixels", and design a little pattern that'd be submitted and shown to the next visitor on the site. Thousands were submitted. The black-and-white thing in this case is one version of the web UI which was shown.
In 2002 I finally got to making something originating from the internet "real" with this project, having some hardware do something with this data. Andrew Beley, a friend and roommate studying electronics engineering, designed the hardware, and I did the software. Basically a grid of transistors which took 160 of the 8-bit outputs from the parallel port, and lit up accordingly in a 5x32 grid. The software would poll the web site and grab the latest "image" periodically.
I also wrote a simple socket listener which would allow people to issue commands to the thing via telnet (through the host computer.) You could write messages and they'd scroll, etc. I guess I had more time on my hands back in the day. ;)

Here is the arduino talking to the soundgin using software-driven serial communication over arduino pins 2,3 and 4. The yellow wire is for a pin called CTS which I believe is used for the soundgin to tell you that it is ready to recieve serial commands or not. Note that there is no ground wire from the arduino to the breadboard. In practice I think that you really need this so that both ends of the communication have a valid reference. These two boards have separate power sources and communicate using logic level rx/tx @5V. When this picture was snapped the arduino was running a program that iteratively plays each of the 30 predefined sounds, one every 5 seconds forever.
Please note that a new hardware version of this device has been released, therefore these images will most likely not apply to it.
This old calculator was sitting in an empty office. We cleaned it up a bit and gave it the smoke test. It still works. In its day, it was a real handy item. Here, showing the square root of two.

Singapore's famous Sim Lim Square shopping area. Several floors of a city block-sized shopping centre devoted to electronics.
Nikon F4 with Fuji Pro 160S negative film. Scanned as negative with the Nikon Scan software on my Coolscan 9000 ED. Nikkor 24mm f2.8 AI lens. Negative scan reprocessed with ColorPos module of ColorPerfect plugin.
It looks to me like Sony puts a fairly thin, almost like an aftermarket type screen protector on the RX100 screens and the edges of the protector are exposed. I am curious if anyone has experienced any chips or damage to the edges of the screen protector?
I picked this little guy up at the local Goodwill for $1.99. I was hoping to find a Technics turntable but maybe next time.
Just like every other speaker found in a place like that some jackass came along and poked in the dust cones but of course that's nothing a little bit of electrical tape can't fix.
The rear control room of Sperry Rail Service car 135 has a rack of electronics, including (at top) an oscilloscope.
Along with our colleagues at the UK LSD Collaborative Group we attended the Students4RareDiseases symposium at the RSM in London. We helped establish the student society!
This is the encoder of a 12v DC motor. This particular encoder has 3 wires, not including the two wires used for the motor. I'd really like to know more about the encoder as these are nice motors!
D'you guys have any idea?
The electronic tattoo, which monitors the electrical activity of the heart (EKG), brain (EEG) and muscles (EMG), is shown here, freshly applied on skin with a transparent bandage.
An overview of the Fry's Electronics store in Concord, CA. Taken from as far away as I could get (without running into other buildings...) by a Zeiss-Ikon Nettar 515/2 (a 6x9cm folder) with a Carl Zeiss, Jena 10.5cm ƒ 4.5 Tessar lens on Ilford HP-5+ Plus.
This is where many components in my various computers have been purchased... (being the closest Fry's to my residence...) OTOH, other components, and appliances, have been also purchased at Fry's Electronics, but at other stores (I've patronized [or at least been in, to shop] most [if not all] of the Fry's stores [the Fremont & Sunnyvale stores in particular…] in California, at one time or another!)

Boriani 2.0 tells a story: that of a family tradition, painting, reworked with different materials and techniques, and that of a second life of objects otherwise destined for landfill, a second level, a new release. Computer parts, floppy disk, hard disk, CD-ROM becomes canvas on which to paint alternatives.
