New Tricks #2: Tilt Sensor for your Palm

Till's Palm Pages has it all for creating a tilt sensor for your Palm PDA. It has instructions to create your own Tilt Sensor, tilt enabled software and source code to incorporate tilt support in your software.

This is a serious hardware mod and so a little more than a evening project. In any case it is too cool.

Teach your old Palm Pilot new tricks - PalmOrb.

I am a big fan of the Palm OS based PDAs and am always looking for something to do with my collection of Palm PDAs :)

Just bumped upon one very cool use. With Tom's Hardware and so many others writing about Home Theater PCs, we all want to have one. I built my own using Myth TV with everything needed including a nice black case to blend with my other components. The one thing missing was the LCD screen. Then I read about PalmOrb on Sourceforge. Here's a little excerpt from the site:

"PalmOrb is software that allows you to use your PalmOS device as a LCD status display for your computer! You can display system stats (such as: CPU load graphs, CPU temperatures, free disk space), news alerts, stock indexes, WinAmp graphs, etc."

Take Better Camera Pics

This guy shares one of my pet peeves, terrible pics shot from all these cell phones. More and more people post their phone pics on their personal sites or moblogs, and most of them are terrible. If you're going to take pictures with your camera phone, this is a great list of (mostly common sense) tips.
