Google Operating System: Stellarium - Look at the Sky: "Stellarium - Look at the Sky
Stellarium is a free software that renders the sky from a configurable position. The application, available for Windows, Mac and Linux, creates an immersive environment thanks to the 3D full-screen rendering and the realistic photos. Stellarium lets you see stars, constellations, planets, nebulas and is a great way to learn their names. You can search the name of a planet or star and the application even auto-completes it for you.
You're the master of time, so you can make it run slower, faster or even stop it; you're the master of space, so you can change the position to anywhere you want; you can also control the events by running or recording scripts that simulate eclipses or other astronomical events.
It's very refreshing to use it as a virtual telescope that teaches you to look at the sky and to understand more from its mystery."

The MIDI Gadget
LinkAll of the little music nerds will be so jealous of you and your homemade MIDI concertina. They'll be all like "oh man, look at that awesome MIDI controller that looks like a Hayden Duet Concertina, an instrument well known for its easy playability and chording. We're so jealous." And you'll be all like "yeah, I know, it's awesome. I built it based on the design by Paul Everett, and though it lacks the actual accordion type velocity control of an actual Hayden Duet Concertina, it is still quite playable and responsive." It's going to be so great.
