I’ve posted Lilypad before, it is a variation of the Arduino open-source prototyping board to create electronic textiles.
As you might have guessed, the Lilypad is the one on the right, the others are Arduino boards. Other electronic elements are also embedded in the embroidery. It definitely has a different look than all those other breadboard based physical computing projects.

The ‘Digital MIDI Step Sequencer‘ is an Arduino based MIDI sequencer. I’m in awe for the breadboard design! Make sure you watch this video of the first prototype on YouTube.
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It is part of the whole Processing open-source movement. Everyone who wants to get into physical computing should get such an Arduino board.
I whish I was smart enough to build something like that … I’ll try to make an LED blink tonight, promissed …
“Besides the impressive functionality, this is some some very elegant breadboarding at work.” - Make Magazine
Karl Klomp is a Dutch media-artist - vj - theater technician. He knows how to modify video hardware and even build it from scratch. The output: glitch art.
But also hardware tools like this ‘Minimal Video Mixer’. Pure hardware porn.
This is probably the coolest homemade music sequencer. Made by Roman Haefeli.
A software-sequencer controls 8 solenoids, that knock on different things and therefore produce some rhythmic noise. Made with puredata, an arduino board and a selfmade relayboard to control the solenoids.

Erling Ellingsen made a $2 multi-touch pad with a plastic bag, some dye and a camera. Just watch the video to believe it.

When I was a kid, a cool bread box was a must. Rodrigo Piwonka posted this picture on flickr and I think it’s THE bread box for 21st century geek.

This is supposed to be a brush … I can’t think of anything that I would brush away with it, but it looks nice. For those who want a DIY guide, go to this Instructables page.
