    DIY Laptop Etch-A-Sketch is Almost Worth Destroying a Hard Drive

    I think my hard drive flinched in fear when I pulled up these instructions for turning a laptop into an Etch-A-Sketch. How could it not when the project is a freakin' awesome Arduino-powered Hack-A-Sketch that you actually shake to erase. More »

    Etch-A-Sketch Freestyle Seems Like Cheating

    The Etch-A-Sketch Freestyle aims to eliminate those wobbly, pixel-edged circles that occur on the original. It's cheating. More »

    Etch-a-Sketch iPhone Case Is Almost Too Adorable

    I don't know why, but I'm such a sucker for handcrafted iPhone cases that look like other gadgets. First the Playstation case and now an Etch-a-Sketch. It's just so cute! [Etsy via iPhone Savior via Geeky Gadgets via Nerd Approved]

    What in the Hell Is This Thing? A Skateboard Etch-A-Sketch?

    MAKE calls this a huge XY table. Crunchgear thinks it's kind of a mouse-controlled Etch-A-Sketch. All I know is, it uses a mouse, three skateboards and an Arduino microcontroller. But for what purpose? More »

    I Want to Trip With this Wondrous 3D Etch-a-Sketch

    How to Draw a Circle with Etch-A-Sketch

    Stupid Inventions found a way to solve one of the problems that been haunting the United States and half of the world since the holiday season of 1960: How the hell do you draw a circle with an Etch-A-Sketch? More »

    Working Etch-a-Sketch Costume Really Lets You Draw Boobies on This Guy

    I've never been a fan of billboard-type costumes—"I'm a lame YouTube video" or "I'm an iPhone"—but this giant Etch-a-Sketch costume is excellent. And it actually works. No, it's not filled with aluminum powder (that could get dicey). It simplifies the setup to using a marker and glass, but the complicated rod and wires setup to make it draw blotchy boobs and penises exactly like the one you had as a kid (but bigger, and on this dude) makes it plenty props-worthy. Check it out in action in the video below. More »

    Staggered Skyscraper Planned for NYC Looks Like an Etch-a-Sketch Disaster

    Is it just me, or does this high-rise set to go up at 23 East 22nd Street in NYC look like it was designed on an Etch-a-Sketch by a dude who had too much coffee? Believe it or not, 18 families will undoubtedly pay a fortune to live here when the OMA designed project is completed in 2010. While the base of the structure appears to be braced by the surrounding buildings, I can't help but worry that this thing will topple over in a stiff breeze. [OMA via Dezeen]

    Etch-A-Sketch Laptop Case Is More Fun Than the Computer Inside

    While most of us have acquired too many responsibilities to waste the day away with a good, marathon Etch-A-Sketch session, every time we pull out the laptop to get more work done we can at least dream of less productive times with this Etch-A-Sketch laptop case. More »
