The TIWE is an OLED watch where the white dots on its surface run around randomly until you hit the watch's surface. Once hit, the dots reorganize themselves to display the current time. Interesting concept except for the fact that the wristwatch is probably one of the most jostled pieces of electronics you own, thus this watch may never display its randomized dots feature.

Vonage WiFi phone...and How to put your robo alert to message

DoctaBu" writes "Using some base code from PlasticBug's DittyBot, I created VoxCaller, an Automator workflow that lets people send computerized voice messages to other people via e-mail. People might think they should just call the person, but I personally think that Zarvox delivers messages in a more... exciting way." This is a lot of fun. Link.
Scott writes "Vonage just released a VoIP WiFi phone... you can use your Vonage VoIP account on any public WiFi access point (but not at places that charge, such as the airport, Starbucks, etc). I'd love to see this phone modded/hacked to be used with other providers (I use Voicepulse)." Link. If you use EVDO, you could at least make a mobile hotspot (see how to) but I'm not sure what settings you can change in the phone for providers (if any).

Wearable sleeping bag
A lot of our makers send in camping gear and equipment, while they're not "MAKEs" there seems to be a lot of makers who camp - so when I saw this wearable sleeping bag I couldn't help but put it on the blog, it's awesome! - [via] Link.

gloves on fire project unlished.
Needless to say, this one would be a touch dangerous to make -
It took me a while to figure out how to build this. I took apart many things that you should not ever take apart (disposable cameras, lighters), and used the most dangerous parts of them in dangerous ways. Please don't try to sue me if you build a fire glove and burn your hand or point it in your eyeball and go blind, its NOT A SAFE PROJECT.Despite a very hazardous exploratory/design process, this guy did manage to make a movie-grade pyrotechic wearable. -Link

All software is open source and more applications are being written every day.

cell phones or mobile phones techno crap
Here's a good follow up to our last post about consumption (Artist Chris Jordan) - The NY Times on where cell phones go when they die...
Americans threw out just shy of three million tons of household electronics in 2006. This so-called e-waste is the fastest-growing part of the municipal waste stream and, depending on your outlook, either an enormous problem or a bonanza. E-waste generally contains substances that, though safely sequestered during each product's use, can become hazardous if not handled properly when disposed. Those products also hold bits of precious metals like silver, copper, platinum and gold.
