Look inside and see what's on my mind

Does your camera’s focal range not have the chops to take quality close-ups? Why make things complicated? Just tape on a lens from a pair of dollar store reading glasses. Sean Lee shared this hack on Make: Projects, and posted impressive before and after shots, especially for a paltry 50 cents.

The two Steves, Jobs and Wozniak, built the Apple brand on its synergy between hardware and software. 25 years on, you pay a premium for that.
It’s £599 for the cheapest Mac Mini. £1999 for an entry level Mac Pro. But since 2006, new Macs have had a very similar internal architecture to Windows PCs. The same Intel CPUs, the same Nvidia graphics.
Since then, people have been hacking together Macs in their bedrooms. They call them Hackintoshes; PCs that run OS X for a fraction of the price of a brand new Mac. My aim was build the cheapest, usable Hackintosh possible.

Gear Thieves Will Think Twice
New products day or what?!
Obviously spinning off the bike lock thing ROCKLOCK is a terrific idea that is waaaay overdue!
Okay, so this is not gonna stop seasoned criminals from haulin’ off your gear, BUT I kinda think this will keep some ‘honest’ people honest– which is all locks do, and prevent many of those quick phantom, would-be heists that have been known to occur between sets.
AND… if you somehow manage to lose those keys during a break, ROCKLOCK will also double as the capo you can’t lose;)))

Roger Mayer was an acoustic engineer for the British Navy who in the late 1960s, through his pal Jimmy Page, became the go-to electronic effects whiz for Jimmy Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, and a bunch of other innovative musicians. For Hendrix, he built the Octavia, a pedal that doubled the input pitch an octave higher or lower and, natch, added fuzz. I love the 1968 photo above of Mayer with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Mayer is still in the game, making and selling guitar effects pedals via his site here. And for an interview with Mayer, check out the video below.
