Overspraymag.com covers a process of using bleach to create designs on t-shirts.

The process was created by Phelyx, a supposed street artist and magician.

Phelyx covers the process from start to finish and will have you making your own t-shirt designs in no time. Just be careful with the bleach!

Have you made any t-shirt designs or maybe you have other methods? Show and tell us in the comments.

And it works really well!

This is an awesome gadget by Ian Matthew.

Check it out and congrats to Alan Parekhs for the original idea.

Cool trick that involves some cotton, string, and lighter fluid. Not useful for much, but hey you gotta have fun sometimes!

Be careful!

Not only can you blind cameras with infrared LEDs, lasers work as well.

Your first thought might be,”It’s really hard to shine a laser at a camera and do something at the same time!”. Not when you mix a tripod and a gun’s laser scope.

One major limitation of this method is the fact that most lasers only emit one color, therefore it is fairly easy to filter the color using optical and electronic methods unless multiple colors are used.

Another limitation may involve exactly how to locate cameras, as they can be hidden anywhere.

Michael Naimark can say a whole lot more about the camera zapping subject with laser beams than I can. Have a look at his excellent document on this interesting subject.

LCD monitors are obviously more vulnerable to damage than the classic CRT. Even the slightest contact with a sharp object can leave your liquid crystal display damaged.

Fortunately, this is easily fixed. There are two different methods that I have found to work quite well. The first method is a temporary fix and will have to be redone after an amount of time or cleaning the LCD. The second method is more of a permanent fix, but requires more work.

Temporary fix with Vaseline:

1. Clean the surface of the LCD with diluted isopropyl alcohol (50/50 with water) with a cloth. No toilet paper and especially not paper towels. These will scratch your screen.
2. Fill the crack with Vaseline.
3. Gently wipe off the Vaseline outside of the scratch.
4. When you are done there should be enough Vaseline to fill the scratch.

Less temporary fix, more work:

1. Clean the surface of the LCD with diluted isopropyl alcohol (50/50 with water) with a cloth. No toilet paper and especially not paper towels. These will scratch your screen.
2. Apply a bit of auto rubbing compound to the scratch.
3. Polish the effected the area with until flat with felt. You should acually have removed the anti-glare coating in the effected area.
4. Clean the area.
5. Using a piece of paper cut a 5mm hole into the center.
6. Use the paper to spray clear lacquer (through the hole) onto the effected area.
7. Move the paper as you spray if the scratch is lengthy.
8. Let dry according to lacquer instructions and you are done.

I hope that did it for you and if you have any suggestions or improvement to these instructions please leave a comment and I will add it to the post (if it make sense).

Coming soon is a rad new program called CamSpace that lets you control your games and applications with a web cam and almost any object you choose.

From the FAQs:

1. What is “CamSpace” ?

CamSpace is a program that allows the user to control his favorite games and applications with any webcam. Use your body and arbitrary objects to replace the mouse and joystick!

Currently, CamSpace only works for Windows, but Mac and Linux versions are on the way…

2. What can I do with “CamSpace” ?

With CamSpace, You can do amazing things! You can use a paper plate as a racing wheel, you can control FPS games by moving your fingers, you can control music applications by moving in free space, the possibilities are endless!

CamSpace is an open platform that enables each and every one of us to create his own application in the language of his choice. You can either use CamSpace’s internal Emulation editor to connect it to any game, write a casual game or simple apps directly inside, or create a sophisticated software application that connects to CamSpace Automatically. Use C++, VB, VB.NET, C#, PYTHON or Delphi and get the tracking information easily from CamSpace API.

We here at Cam-Trax Technologies encourage you to create any application you can think about that benefits from the user’s natural movements in free space!

Check out the demo video:

Head over to the CamSpace site to sign up for the beta. Hopefully after it is release it will either be open source or freeware. They now only have a Windows client, but supposedly a Mac and Linux version is coming soon.

Lets hope they send the beta invite to me soon so I can test it out. Now I might have a good excuse to purchase a web cam - go CamSpace!

Notice how he has the easy button right next to his phone? Classic.
