A couple weeks ago Tyrel from SitesCollide interviewed me about Hack-A-Day. Have a listen to the 27 minute podcast if you've ever wondered how Hack-A-Day was founded or what the heck we do here. Topics include: MiniPOV3, BrainMachine, Arduino, bowling ball catapult, DMX control, and FPGA crypto cracking.

Here's podcast 8. I walk through some of my favorite hacks and discuss the prizes for the design challenge. It's back to mp3, so the rss feed should pick it up and keep people happy. Help me out and send in some questions for the podcast!

You can subscribe to the feed, or via iTunes.

The next podcast is coming... In the meantime, if you want to ask a question in the podcast, record it as a mp3 and email it to podcast [at hackaday dot com]. If you're wondering, I will do the next edition in mp3 - no more m4a stuff.

Now, to answer a few questions about the Design Challenge.
What kind of circuit should it be?
Anything from a personal massage speed controller to a miniature omelet maker. Whatever you can fit on the board, ok.

Will you extend the deadline?
No. If you want to send us something later, we'll still take it. [but you'll be a bit late to win any prizes]

How many entries can we submit?
No limit, but don't go nuts, ok?

How big can it be?
The board will be credit card dimensions, but a standard thickness (think FR-4 or something) No, we don't care how big the components are.

Do the components need to be available from somewhere like mouser/digikey?
I'd hope so. We don't want to have to reclaim parts from sunken Russian submarines to build the circuit.

How can I submit it?
Put it online and send in a tip, or ask where to send it via the tips line. Either way, use the tips line.

Here's podcast 7. This is a short review of the last week or so's favorite hacks. Audacity crashed out after my first recording, so I used Garageband this time - the bonus: you get each hacks images along with the audio. The rss feed is here.

[Yes, I started to recover the files, but it was easier to re-record]

Here's part 2 of my interview with Ben. (Or just grab it via the feed) We answer some more questions and go off on a few tangents about cnc machines, the PS3 and part sources. It cuts directly to the interview - I don't want to wait 6 hours to record it. I should have a regular podcast up in the next day or two.

Here's part one of my interview with Ben Heckendorn. Because it's so long, and I've got a cold, I'm breaking it up into a two parter. Check out part 1 here, add the RSS feed to your program of choice, or subscribe to the feed via iTunes.

Ben and I get into most of the questions you guys asked, along with a few tangents. Enjoy!

[The devs are working on the feeds for me, so they're not quite perfect. yet.]

If you missed it, I put up a new podcast yesterday. You can subscribe via the iTunes store or just use the RSS podcast feed. You guys asked for interviews, so here we go. Ben Heckendorn is going to be our first one. He and I are going to put it together later this week, so submit your question in the comments if you want me to ask him. [I'll pick and choose, so make it good]
Ben built the Xbox 360 laptop, the colecovision portable, the PSP analog joystick, and plenty of others.

I've been thinking of resurrecting the podcast for a while. Now that my new mic and preamp finally showed up, it's here, That's right, podcast 4 is up. It's an experiment, so let me know what you think. If it goes over well, I'll try to make it a weekly feature. In the meantime, you can get it here - I'll let you know when it's published via iTunes. Meanwhile, here's the rss feed if you want to subscribe. If you want to know about the hardware, you can check it out here.

[Yes, there will be a new hack later today.]
Oh yes, I forgot to add the music credits. Today's podcast featured Captured by Ronka R and Discoshit by Voxter
