DIY Laptop Etch-A-Sketch Is Almost Worth Destroying A Hard Drive
12:40PM Rosa Golijan | 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 iPhone Case Is Almost Too Adorable
2:40AM Adam Frucci | 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 Nerd Approved]

What In The Hell Is This Thing? A Skateboard Etch-A-Sketch?
1:30PM Dan Nosowitz | 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 »

Working Etch-a-Sketch Costume Really Lets You Draw Boobies on This Guy
5:00AM Matt Buchanan | 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 aluminium 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 »

Etch-A-Sketch Mod Adds Memory, Ability to Reproduce Your Art
11:00PM Kit Eaton | Rakesh Reddy’s Remember-it-All mod brings Etch-a-Sketch nearly up to the 21st Century, by adding a memory and stepper motors to the toy. It ends up being a tad like the Etch-a-Sketch clock, but niftily when you switch it into record mode it copies your every move into memory. Throw a switch and your crappy straight-line art is recreated in front of your eyes. I say nearly 21st Century, ’cause a truly modern mod would automagically create the art for you, but this is still fun, and you can DIY it by following Rakesh’s instructions.

Etch-A-Sketch Laptop Case Is More Fun Than the Computer Inside
7:20AM Mark Wilson | 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 »
