A few years ago I bought a pair of Aiwa headphones with a built-in MP3 player. They were only 128MB but they were very cheap (factory refurbished) and they looked so cool that I figured I might as well get them and if they didn't work out in their original form, I could just transplant a bigger MP3 player into them.

At last, I finally enter the exciting world of Microcontrollers. If it's any use to anyone out there, Byron Jeff's Trivial LVP programmer actually worked very well for me. Here's mine:

I have one of those cheap desk lamps which I use as a bedside reading light. The problem with it is that the bulb keeps blowing and it always seems to take me ages to buy a replacement. As LEDs can be pretty bright nowadays and have a much longer life expectancy (when subjected to the recommended current levels) as well as lower power consumption, I decided to convert the lamp to use LEDs.

My Binary Clock is finally finished having chased out the last of the show-stopping bugs last night. It now shows the correct time and looks very cool. The ultimate in "Geek Chic" - a binary clock I made myself!
