Samjc3 is awesome... When she isn't pointing a modified handgun at you... and even then, she still kinda is.

You are probably the most sensually terrifying woman I've even known. I know this isn't how biology works, but can I have your babies?
 
Overclocked my GBC last month.
I wired another crystal in parallel with the old one + an switch,and...

Sadly,all i had at the time was an 11Mhz crystal,but compared to the 8Mhz one,it works fine.


Also: First post!
 
My kids are going to be Harry Potter and Voldemort for Halloween. Being the crafty fellow I am, I whipped them up some fancy wands complete with LED, tact switch, 1lb of hot glue and a GC bios battery button cell each.

Yes, it works. Christmas gift for my younger brother. Who doesn't need a fully automatic arm cannon?
 
YouTube video!

I used the Nerf Swarmfire dart gun (on sale for $13 at Walmart right now!! You should stock up!!) and some air duct reducers and a coupler. Toss in a Ni-Cd battery on clearance at RadioShack and put in a button for the trigger on the inside and just like that you have yourself an arm cannon.

Coverd that up with tape to keep from zapping hands inside the arm cannon

Foam backer rod with a slit down the middle keeps sharp metal edges from destroying your arm.

Hacked up a couple of cheap LED nightlights, a couple of ping pong balls, and some thick white plastic I had lying around from my past attempts at vacuum forming. Hey, at least I'm decent at cutting it by hand if not vacuum forming it.
