Have you ever played around with the macro mode on a camera (you know the ‘flower’ mode)? Most people have, but it’s not that impressive. Mostly because it’s not really close up. A regular macro shot will give you something like 0.5-0.7x magnification, which is… not very impressive.
So lets do something about that!
In this article [ ]... Wine in laptop - is that really a good idea? -
How often do you think people (maybe you?) spill beverages onto their laptops?
Apparently more often then you think. After the ‘liquid spill’ article last year I’ve been contacted numerous amount of times by people that spilled a bit of wine on their keyboard or that had their cute little three year old pour milk over [ ]... Greylist - freeware Grey list for Exchange v1.3 -
First my apologies to all people who come back here day after day and wonder why there’s no action on Grynx. Well, try working 10 hours a day, studying for your MCSE every evening and then take care of your family as well. I’m simply not allowed into my garage any more
Hopefully this will [ ]... Another hard drive clock -
I made one of these back in December last year (link) and then I saw another interesting version from Rick.
OK, everyone has seen the dude who made an LED POV (persistence of vision) clock out of a hard drive, and we?re all very impressed (no, seriously). But not all of us have those skills. [ ]... Wireless remote control out of a Ding-Dong -
John Schuch did what I’ve been thinking about for quiet some time. To take a existing RF device and turn it into a power (AC) control.
With the addition of one capacitor, one relay, and a small piece of wire we can convert an inexpensive wireless doorbell into a remotely controlled relay useful for a wide [ ]... DIY Microscope Webcam -
Jose Luis Garrido slaughtered an old cdrom reader… and put the lens for the laser in front of his webcam.
What did he get? A DIY microscope webcam - kind of cool actually!
The page is in Spanish so I also give you the option to read it through Google’s translation engine.

Link: [ ]... RBG Mood Lamp -
Toon Beerten sent us this wonderful DIY mood lamp.
On this page i will explain how i created my own colour changing lamp with red, green and blue leds that fades between all colours of the rainbow. It really comes out well at night when other light are dimmed. In daylight conditions the colors aren’t [ ]... Greylist - a free grey list for Exchange. -
I know - I know - I know. Programs don’t really fit into Grynx’s profile - but hey - I make’ed something and now I’m sharing it with you. It might not interest you that much if you’re not an Exchange admin or have an Exchange server, but that’s just the way things are.
Greylist is [ ]... Binder clips and cables -
How about making without making??
This is such a thing which actually isn’t a project in itself - but if it will give you a tenth as much help as its given me in the past years then it’s something I just have to share with you.
In short - attach your cables in a smart way [ ]... How to build a versatile and compact 9v LED lamp -
P.O. got so excited by all the responses from the TicTac flashlight project that he sent us another of his creations.
This time it’s a LED lamp created from the scraps of an old 9v battery and three LED’s. No need to use a resistor here as he’s used three 3.5v LED’s which adds up to [ ]... Happy Halloween! - Just for fun, I put pumpkin RSS and Twitter icons in my header. There’s a whole set of social media pumpkins available (free!) from Shane Jeffers at Three Styles. I remember back in the day when I used to change the style of this blog for holidays. Where did that time go?... Do Creative Commons licenses work for creators? - I am a librarian and a writer. As a writer, I value the protection copyright gives me to control how my works are used. As a librarian, I am frustrated by how restrictive current copyright law is. I therefore support Creative Commons, which allows creators to share their work more freely without giving away all [ ]... What is a commercial use? - Last week, both the New Yorker and Wired used one of my photos to illustrate an article about the Aaron Swartz JSTOR downloading case. I had posted the photo to Flickr with a Creative Commons-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license. I believe that the use by the New Yorker and Wired is commercial in nature and therefore a violation [ ]... Conference serendipity - There is something about getting together in person – just like there is something about browsing the shelves in a library – that leads to discoveries. At SLA last month, I attended a tour of the Free Library of Philadelphia’s map collection with the Social Science Division Geography and Map Section. I decided to attend [ ]... The Facebook tip I learned at SLA - One of the most useful things I learned at SLA this year came not from one of the many expert speakers but from a casual conversation with a colleague. I was frustrated because I couldn’t find a way to comment on posts from a page I’m an admin for as myself. I finally found the [ ]... How to lead a virtual meeting - Ruth Wolfish has been leading monthly web-based meetings for SLA chapter leadership, and shared her lessons learned during the Leadership Development Institute at the beginning of SLA 2011. I lead a bimonthly phone meeting for a group of philatelic librarians, and we?ve been thinking of trying to use the web to include library representatives from [ ]... Why I?m tired this morning: SLA 2011 - I got back from SLA 2011 in Philadelphia last night. As usual, it was a great conference and I came back full of ideas, many of which I plan to share here. But for now, I will share with you the reason I am drinking a second cup of coffee this morning: SLA has a [ ]... Dogs in (and out) of libraries - Kids at one California library no longer have access to a program that aims to help them build confidence and develop a passion for reading. The program, Paws for Tales, allows kids to read to a therapy dog. Among its volunteers was Jonny Justice, a survivor of Michael Vick’s dogfighting ring, now a Canine Good [ ]... Non-traditional conferences - Don’t get me wrong. I love library conferences. I’ve attended SLA every year for the past 10 years and I’m registered for SLA 2011. I attended the much smaller APLIC conference when I worked in demography. Last year I attended PaLA for the first time and had a blast. But, sometimes we need to take [ ]... The after conference - After attending a professional conference, you are probably tired and behind on things both at home and at work. The last thing you want to do is come home and continue the conference – but this is exactly what you should do. You’ll get a lot more out of the conference experience if you collect [ ]...
