Howdy there link lovers welcome to another edition of Woodys Roundup.
Kicking off today’s collection of links we have some super cool instructions to build your own Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) like the army use, made with model airplanes and Lego Mindstorms kits robotics kits, pretty neat! Just search YouTube for more amazing Mindstorms projects.
Next we have the amazing journey of a space shuttles booster rocket from the rockets point of view. From launch through to the free fall all the way back to earth. It is both amazing and majestic.
Last Thursday saw the celebration of _why, a legend in the Ruby programming community. On the 19th August 2009 _why withdrew from the online community, check out whyday.org to find out more about _why, his projects and legacy including his excellent cartoon guide (with practical examples) to the Ruby language. Also, released last week and based on one of _why’s projects (Shoes) comes Hackety Hack, a really simple way to get started coding, from kids to adults!
Next we have two links on a photography tip. The first is a load of outstanding colour pictures from Russia take between 1909 and 1912 and second is the tale of the worlds first digital camera, knocked up by some engineers at Kodak in 1975.
Lastly, here’s something to try when one of those annoying telemarketers phones you just when you’re about to start eating dinner. Funnily enough a telemarketer gave Tom a call just as he discovered this page!
And there we have it, a little short this time but I should be back on Friday with some more fun :)
Again, thanks to Flickr user wrayckage for the image.
