I loved this shot the moment I saw it...it is taken at the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway just before Christmas. The train is a "Thomas the Tank Engine" special and the guard is dressed as the Fat Controller. I waited until every one was on board and then quickly jumped off the train. I particularly like the sun streaming through the trees, the effect obvioulsy caused by the steam The image had some "dead area" cropped from it at the bottom, as the reflections in the puddles didnt work. Hope you like this.

Plastic shell of the N64 controller, with just the buttons installed. Each plastic button is keyed so that it can only be fitted in the correct place.

The "wizard" divised a way for Michael to try the controller with his feet, even though they were not prepared for it. He used duct tape and the children's books in the lobby! The wizard is the kind of person that won't accept "it can't be done" for an answer! We are so thankful. He not only saved us a trip back to Rancho, but he saved us TIME. At the moment, Michael is not mobil now, and is eager for this new solution to be put onto his own chair! Due to his hand muscles weakening he can no longer operate his current joy stick.
A modern device RBB arduino on a breadboard connected to an 4051 multiplexer with 8-10k pots. Output is made via Serial at 31250 BAUD for MIDI. Each pot corresponds to it's own controller (20-27) and has a value range of 0-127. A MIDI control byte is sent whenever a pot changes value for the corresponding controller. I will be adding two more 4051 multiplexers with a total of 16 pots and 8 push buttons.
The Philips CD-i. Released in the early 90′s, it was an overpriced CD player that sometimes pretended to be a game console. As such, it had to have a gamepad, just like all the cool kids did. Except, for some reason, the only gamepad they looked at seems to be the two button Sega Master System controller. There’s no Start, there’s no Select, there’s no shoulder buttons, none of that complicated jive. Instead, there’s just a D-Pad and two buttons. What’s that, you say? You count three buttons? Yeah, well, so did I, until I was playing Wand of Gamelon (Yes, I own Zelda: Wand of Gamelon, and yes, I have played it. No, it’s not as bad as you’ve heard, yes, the cutscenes are terrible, but if you don’t really look at it as a “Zelda” game, it’s quite passable. The backgrounds look excellent and appear handpainted.) and couldn’t figure out why the controls for the game went out of their way to use only two buttons on a three button controller. That’s when I realized that it’s not a three button controller at all, but a two button controller with a third button that acts like you’re pressing the other two buttons simultaneously. Because, you know, you’re apparently incapable of pressing the other two buttons simultaneously and that’s something that you have to do so often that you want an entire button dedicated to that, instead of, you know, a jump button or a pause button.

One part N64, one part Virtual Boy, one part SNES and two parts color wheel, the Gamecube’s controller is a strange one. The two analog sticks and the D-pad are fairly standard. The primary button arrangement is probably the most convoluted arrangement I’ve seen, with buttons of different shapes, sizes, and colors. There are three shoulder buttons. Not two. Not four. Three. L, R, then Z, which lives in front of R. Z is an ordinary button, while L and R are these mutant hybrid buttons, with about a half inch of travel space, then a loud click that sounds like you’re breaking the button. The button is analog until the click, then it registers as a normal button press, so some games will assign slightly different controls based on how you press the button.

This controller had a poorly shoulder button, I think some one had thrown it at the wall/floor in the past. They are quite robust and simply made, I need to get some epoxy to rebuild the hinge.

Shot for the ODC theme "Hobbies"
Although this is a PS3 pad, for me it represents gaming in general, I'm very much a PC gamer. Although I've had consoles going all the way back to the Atari 2600(yes I am old), FPS games on the PC are where I spent many, many, many, many hours. I was part of an Wolf:ET clan that was ranked #1 in the UK for a while, I have the knackered fingers to prove it too! I also lost more hours(because it's probably whole months) than I care to count to MMO's the original Everquest(or Ever-crack as it was known) , then EQ2 and on, inevitably, to WoW. Addiction at it's finest, but now just a hobby.

The classic "Honeywell Round" mechanical thermostat. It's a shame they haven't made a digital one that looks as good or is as sensible. Their digital round thermostat is a UI disaster and ugly to boot.
