A sampling of custom trucks we've built at Hack Shack. Some dropped to the ground, and some lifted to the sky.
Wireless Second Curtain Sync is Canon's Flash weakness.
But there are plenty of workarounds short of buying a set of TTL Flex & Mini PWs.
My old PC case, featuring some practical hacks. The machine is now outdated and unused, but I thought it worthwhile to document it for posterity.
It only ran on 12V through an auto plug, so I pulled out the instant jumpstarter for use while testing.
I wanted a set of foot pedals for selecting Escape and other modifiers, and with an analog input for commanding mouse scrolling, so I built a MIDI to USB HID device with a Teensy 2.0 board and a FCB1010 MIDI foot controller. It works ok, but the ergonomics are sub-optimal for use while seated. Perhaps with a standing desk it would be better.
Setting UBRR1L = 32 with the 16 MHz clock configures the UART to exactly the MIDI 31.25 kbaud rate. A resistor between the current signalling pins on the MIDI OUT changes it from a current signal to a voltage signal so that the UART on the ATMega32u4 is able to read it.

Hacking Arts (October 3-5), an annual student-run festival and hackathon hosted at the MIT Media Lab, marked the launch of MIT STARTUP. Hacking Arts features talks by entrepreneurs in the creative industries, tech-enabled live performances and art pieces, and demos by emergent start-ups. This year’s kick-off party at Microsoft’s Nerd Center featured a performance by Grammy-nominated artist Ryan Leslie and an ideation session by Kiran Gandhi, the drummer of MIA.
The following day, participants attended panels on Film, Music, Design, Virtual Reality, Fashion, Gaming, Performing Arts and Visual Arts, hearing from speakers such as Benji Rogers (CEO, Pledgemusic), Kevin Cunningham (Executive Artistic Director, 3-Legged Dog Productions) and Laird Malamed (COO, Oculus VR). Afterward, participants put their ideas into action during the high-voltage hackathon.
The 2014 Hackathon winners were LuxLoop (VHX Prize in Film, TV & VR), Harlequin (Most Creative), CUE (Most Disruptive) and Tomorrow Is Another Day (Best Overall Hack). A common thread among the winning hacks was how technology was used to promote human interaction or create analogue output. LuxLoop and Harlequin both used human motion to affect digital output. CUE, one of the finalists in the Pitch phase of the competition, designed a modular theatrical system consisting of wearable audiovisual hardware and a smartphone app to sequence, control and play user-programmed sound and light effects to enhance public theater. Tomorrow Is Another Day touted the idea “Turn your nothing into something,” as their project used a person’s daily “swipes” on touch-screen devices to transform daily online activities into abstract ink drawings.

My hack: a wearable proximity sensor, which allows traffic travelling behind cyclists to see via pulsating red/amber/green pulsating heart if they're travelling to close to the cyclist. I had to hurry to finish the functionality, so it's not so pretty - but I'm going to tidy it up. All told I made it in a evening and an afternoon, so that's not long to design, code and build an electronic wearable!
