Make contributor Joe Grand (aka "Kingpin") shows his BSODomizer (www.bsodomizer.com) prank gadget in action. Complete plans are available or you can buy an assembled unit for $79. What is BSODomizer? BSODomizer is a small, battery-powered, mischievous electronic gadget that interfaces between a laptop or desktop and VGA monitor and flashes images onto the monitor at random time intervals or when triggered by an infrared remote control. When used to display a fake BSOD (Blue Screen of Death), the user will become confused and turn off his or her machine. Over and over again. Legitimate uses of the BSODomizer include monitor/projector/video calibration or a simple timer to remind the user to take a break from sitting in front of the computer. Various configuration settings are selected via on-board DIP switches. Created by Joe Grand (aka Kingpin) and Zoz. If you have any video or pictures of BSODomy in action, be sure to let us know and we can post things on this page or link to your site. Have fun! Welcome to BSODomizer...

The new version of Mathematica does all sorts of cool image and video processing...you can just drag and drop images into your code to manipulate them. In my imagination, this seems like what one gets to do at Pixar all day. (via waxy)
