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.

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 [ ]... A day in the life of a philatelic librarian - Last week I started a new job as librarian for the American Philatelic Research Library, and this week is far from the typical quiet week in the library because it is our first Volunteer Week and we have four volunteers in the library sorting old journals.
So when I first saw that this week is Library [ ]... Embedded library - While people discuss the value of embedded librarians versus centralized libraries, and the value of having an information professional within the department versus the value of having a library as study, research, and meeting space, I’ve had the best of both worlds for the past 9 years.
I’ve been embedded in a research center, along with [ ]... Iggy Pop on copyright. No, really. - Iggy Pop is known for a lot of things, including wearing leather pants with no shirt and being pelted with bottles on stage. He’s not generally known for his thoughts on copyright and fair use.
In a piece for Interview, though, he discusses copyright, fair use, and art with Shepard Fairey, the artist who made the [ ]... I?m running for the uninsured - Please indulge me in a rare post that has nothing to do with libraries, but everything to do with communities.
On April 19th, I will join a group of local runners in running the Boston Marathon to raise money for Centre Volunteers in Medicine, Centre County’s free medical and dental clinic. This is the fourth year [ ]... Grant the library dog - As a librarian with a pit bull, I can’t resist sharing this. Grant is a library dog who is trained to help kids gain confidence reading out loud. Back in February, he made the evening news. You can follow his adventures on Facebook and Twitter.
Grant is also an American Staffordshire Terrier (AKC)/American Pit Bull Terrier [ ]... Are students customers now too? - Libraries have been debating what to call the people who use them for some time now ? patrons? customers? users? See, for example, my post on retail reference from 2006.
Now, it appears the customer model is being advocated in higher education. In a letter to the editor of the Chronicle of Higher Education, Bill Sams [ ]... Do we have a librarian in the house? - A couple years ago, I wrote about infiltrating a tech conference. I did it again today, this time attending my college’s IT conference. I was a bit nervous about it, since everyone else in the room was classed as an IT professional while my job is in the library group (but not in the library [ ]... What is a knowledge professional? - SLA may be changing its name, depending on the outcome of a vote currently underway. The proposed new name is Association for Strategic Knowledge Professionals.
Since the proposed announcement, Twitter and other outlets have been buzzing with reactions and discussion.
In the midst of all this, I was catching up on some back reading and read an [ ]... Budget crisis shuts Free Library of Philadelphia - Pennsylvania, my home state for the last 9 years, has been without a budget for 75 days. The crisis has affected pay for state employees and threatened or shut down many recipients of state funding. The latest potential victim is the Free Library of Philadelphia, which will close on Oct. 2 if a budget is [ ]... Where is the library? - Blogging at Inside Higher Ed, librarian Mary George observes that the library can be difficult for new college students to find.
No, not the big hulking building on campus. The library web site, where students can find all those great online resources that eliminate the need to go to the physical library.
