I have an old laser printer which does not have a decent standby power-saving mode.  I built a computer-controlled power switch for it, so the computer turns on the printer when there is a print job, then turns it off again later.

I acquired an older Connect-Tek KVM (PC keyboard/video/mouse) switch. I got it for free because it was missing the power supply. I decided to make one.

Like many people, I have growing number of pictures from my digital camera. I decided that I wanted a digital picture frame to display them in the houseThe purchase price is just too expensive for me to afford (anywhere from US$100 to $900 or more) so instead I am building one.

I acquired an older HP Omnibook 2000 laptop. It has a 2GB hard drive, PCMCIA slots, and an 800x600 TFT LCD display. I am now working on the software setup. After that is working then I will do the hardware frame part.
