Do-it-Yourself Spot Welder
Good DIY spot welding project. Kaden writes- There's lots of reasons to have a small scale precision spotwelder...this particular guy builds *serious* small scale turbine engines. Not satisfied with the abilities of commercially available units, he did what any self respecting Maker would do, and built his own. Schematics, parts lists and more on the site Link.

But, with a little work from you, your TiVo is capable of much more. With several innocent gimmicks, you can make using TiVo even slicker. If you have other good ones post them up in the comments!

Ninjam - Skype for musicians
Justin Frankel (the creator of Winamp) has a new project called Ninjam. Ninjam allows two or more people to jam through the net with real audio (no MIDI goofiness like past internet jamming software). It’s like Skype for musicians, though the music is delayed a few measures to keep everything in sync. You plug your instruments in, the software provides a beat. Then you find out what a crappy guitar player you are. Link.

Craft Manifesto
Ulla-Maaria Mutanen, a Finnish crafter who presented today at the Reboot conference in Copenhagen, has written a draft crafter's manifesto that reads like a blueprint for the Enlightenment crossed with an entrepreneur's prayer. Good stuff. My favorite, #6 - Work inspires work. Seeing what other people have made generates new ideas and designs. [via] Link.

PSP ebooks
We've covered a few ways to make ebooks for Playstation portables (PSP) and now there are some sites popping up that offer books for download specifically formatted for your PSP screen. Unfortunately it some of these aren't public domain. I really think there's a market for ebooks on UMD and memorysticks, provided there were some somftware intelligence for font sizing, bookmarking and perhaps audio versions as well. Why not sell gamer guides for the PSP... Link.
