A giant 555 timer that's wearable, so you look like a giant 555 with lights, etc, or something.

Soldering iron chisel-tips he designed for Sagan, incorporating safety features.

Called "Tips for young players"

Your are all wrong!! Dave is obviously going to make a 1/25th scale "Dave Jones" action figure, with an internal PIC controller in order to produce pre-recorded phrases of Australian slang every time you shake the figure... Ah at least that's better than a Barby doll!! And I am sure it will hit the 10 000 % subscription rate on Pozible. Anyhow if he's NOT making this doll, I am going to do it and make a fortune out of it!! ;-)

Hmm, he said it wouldn't work by design (or something like that) ... so I am going with an Auto-Router

<Crocodile Dundee>That's not a hack.</Crocodile Dundee>

Taking advantage of the Australian Government's famous weakness for special interests (still has a ways to go to equal the US, I'm afraid) Dave has persuaded the Australian Parliament to issue an Official Proclamation honoring his family for Innovation. However, he arranged for the document to make a roundtrip through a Chinese instruction manual shop before it was signed.

The resulting wording declares Sagan to be the official micro-Ruler of Australia. Prince George is said to not be best impressed, but that is likely just gas.

<Crocodile Dundee>THIS is a hack</Crocodile Dundee>

A telepresence device like this:

Either that or he's gonna finish one of his projects, like the quadcopter, uSupply or some sort of uCurrent thingy

Great, a Electronic Entertainment Version of the Electronics Engineering Video Blogger.

Are you sure about that 1:25 scale? I reckon that'd make it about the size of my thumb -- but then again, those Aussies are always doing a shrink on their Barbies.

Frustrated with the lack of progress in 3D printing, Dave is going to Doc Brown over the whole mess and go straight to 4D printing.

[BTW, Dave, Since Aug 1 the $200 Makibox has sent a dozen or so "final pre-production" units to select backers for testing. It looks like they should start ramping into full production in September.]

They already are 4d. The 4th dimension is time. Huehuehue

Orpheus · « **Reply #36 on:** August 29, 2013, 07:24:07 pm »

Precisely my point.

However, just because a printing process operates in 4D doesn't make it a 4D printing process. Laser printers operate in 3D (and 4D for that matter), but their output is 2D. Governments operate in 4d, but their output is generally 1D at most.

Oh, what Dave could do with a noggin-cracking stick that reaches back into last week! (or, a micro-ruler wielded as a traditional Catholic school knuckle-mangling rebuke) He could easily revolutionize Australian politics.

It just occurred to me that we missed the obvious: an elegant and efficient parts/test gear storage system for the electronics workbench -- Dave Jones' Locker

Seeing how he is a fan of Back to the Future I would say his own version of the self lacing shoes.

The complementary version of the SGN01 bipolar transistor.

2 guesses.

either a new improved HD version of daveCAD, or hes going to attempt to join the space program by flying to the moon on 30mA.

free_electron · « **Reply #42 on:** November 22, 2013, 12:30:45 am »

i think he is making an ion implanter to produce his own integrated circuits. since he got all the other tools needed from me ...

Has to be the show time for the uSupply.

Only she knows the difference.
