PAC-MAN Celebrates 45 Years Of Dot Eating, Ghost Chasing Fun

If you were to pick a “mascot” for the arcade industry, the chances are that Namco’s PAC-MAN would win the polls of public opinion. Yes, there had been some basic characters that popped up in some games here and there prior to the hungry yellow guy coming along, but none had quite supercharged the scene like PAC-MAN would do. Today is the 45th anniversary of Toru Iwatani’s creation, so with that, let’s reminisce down memory lane. Note that due to...

This CanSat doubles as a drone to slow descents

Arduino Team — May 19th, 2025 A CanSat is a small sensor payload, about the size of a soda can, designed to be launched on a model rocket to relatively low altitudes of around 1km. But while that isn’t anywhere close to leaving the atmosphere, it is very high and CanSats need a way to get back to the ground safely. Most use parachutes, but John of the I Build Stuff YouTube channel gave...

CamRo is a robot that captures awesome product videos at the touch of a button

Arduino Team — May 19th, 2025 Presentation is always important — even in the maker community. Nice photos and videos get people in the door and technical achievements keep them around. But recording nice videos can be difficult, which is why Cameron Coward developed this robot, called CamRo, to do the work for him. CamRo is a portmanteau of “camera” and “robot,” which describes this machine’s purpose. It exists to record videos of relatively small...

Episode #785 – The Larks, Pt. 1 – 1950-52

Air Week: May 19-25, 2025

The Larks, Pt. 1 – 1950-52

The Larks are one of the most influential and best sounding vocal groups of the early 1950s and yet, they are never remembered quite as well as many of their contemporaries. That might be because they only had 2 charting singles and neither record sold well after its initial release. But don’t let the numbers fool you, the Larks were a top-notch group with outstanding leads...

Joshintosh Merges Vintage Mac and Powerful PC

Apple’s Macs may be the pinnacle of designer tech, but if you’re a PC gamer, you know the lure of a computer with a cleverly curated collection of components to render those demanding details with ease. There’s surely a sensible way to find unity between the two sides. There’s also Joshintosh. Josh Greenwalt of RetraCast has done a lovely job of fitting a PC into an old Macintosh case. More than a typical Raspberry Pi or single board computer in...
