Ha! I bet you never thought I’d make THIS!

   

Yes, it’s a one-of-a-kind combo Atari 2600 and Playstation 2 system – a perfect conversation piece for your home entertainment center! Note the PS2 disc tray in the lower right corner of the vintage Atari case. The old silver switches control both the Atari and the PS2 (power on, disc eject etc)

Grand Theft Auto and Pac-Man… together at last!

As per usual I’ve prepared a “Making Of” page for this thing that also explains WHY I made it! (the real question on people’s minds!) Click here to check it out, and enjoy!

In other news I’m probably gonna take a short break from portables for a while… I’ve been working on them non-stop since last May and need a breather. Of course kits for my book will still be available, and I’ll update the site with tidbits as well.

And don’t worry – while I’m taking a break I’ll be hatching up NEW schemes and things!

I finally broke down and ripped up my old N64. Over one month later…

…out comes this thing, with 5″ screen, stereo speakers and lots of battery power. For the full story (along with the obligatory “N64p -VS- Nintendo DS” article) click the above photo or right here.

As for selling it, this unit has already been spoken for. But maybe if I get emailed enough I would consider making a case kit… (You’d be on your own for stuffing it, though)

And don’t worry, I’ve got a few more tricks up my sleeve to show you soon, even if I am wearing a T-shirt! Stay tuned!

Well it would appear my book is out on shelves and available for purchase! I got my copies last week – kind of strange to look at a print version of something I worked on for the better part of last year, but I guess the initial disorientation will pass in time 🙂

Also on that note I’ve made kits available for the projects in the book. For info on them and the book just click here!

In other news I’m working on another portable which hopefully will be done soon – then I’ll be taking a break for a bit (to allow my soldering iron burns to heal and stuff)  In the meantime, enjoy my book!

Just today I started getting a good deal of email from people wanting kits for the projects in my book. I’m still nailing down the pricing (and getting the files ready) but there is a temp page for it on my website for the book. Click here for the book’s website and select “Buy Kits for the Project” It has price estimates and a link to email me if interested.

I’m going to try and get detailed package lists and easy Paypal ordering buttons up on that page ASAP. In the meantime I’ll collect your emails and use those.

So please “pardon my mess” as I work to get this ready and thanks for your patience! And hey – enjoy the book!

Check out the book icon to the left – that’s what the cover’s gonna look like. And if you click on the picture it takes you to an Amazon ordering page. How easy is that?

I am working on an entire website for the book which will be up soon. The release of the book should be in a few weeks… stay tuned!
