I built a tool to help fellow railfans find the new open-gangway trains that are now live on the C and G lines. It uses a lil custom hardware beacon to make up for the lack of this data in the official subway tracker API. Check it out at traintrack.now or read more at thingswemake.com!
Lil weekend dial-a-song project: a rotary phone dialer Spotify interface. Plays Spotify recs via the handset’s speaker based on the numbers you dial. In this clip, 1999 > 59th St Bridge Song > 867-5309!
The TikTok ban just wasn’t a poison pill in 2019/2020 when TT was new/ascendant. Today it’s embedded in our lives in a materially different way. Law moves so much slower than tech! It could’ve gone out with a whimper rather than a bang - imagine if we were talking about Clubhouse instead!

I was asked if you had to blow on it to turn it off and on again which led me to a little feature addition: blow into the NES cartridge to toggle a secret Game Boy mode easter egg, with hundreds of classic GB roms represented. ‘Cause breath is the Konami code of the face.
Meet the NinTARDIS: a fully-functional NES stuffed into an NES game cartridge. It has ~600 NES ROMs, capacitive touchscreen controls, a speaker, haptic feedback, and a rechargeable lipoly battery. Read more at thingswemake.com/now-youre-playing-with-power/
Just learned that there’s a Three Stooges game for the NES and this is how it opens. 🔊
thank you!! I too am not super into touch controls, but the original vision for this project was to be a wall-hanging screensaver rotating thru NES cover art, so I wanted to keep it compact. The good news is, it can support any bluetooth controller!
The NES-in-a-cartridge is nearly done! Just a few more Retropie tweaks…
Okay I know laser-cutting ABS plastic is bad news, but the results are just so compelling…
Awning of a barbershop named “Respect For Life Barber Salon”
Did Sweeney Todd really deal the barber business such bad PR?
This is joyous.
Been working on stuffing a functional NES into an o.g. NES game cartridge. 600 games, fully portable, and touchscreen-controlled!
