Welcome!
Welcome to Spritesmods. At this site, I'll document my more interesting hacks for your viewing pleasure. While it's not updated that regularly, I try to add an article about every month.
Ow, by the way: all the pictures are thumbnails. You can click on them to get the originals, straight from my camera. If you want to comment on an article, there's a discussion area at the last page of every one of 'em.
I just finished adding a Flattr-button to all the articles, and I'll be using the next few weeks or months to see if it's worth keeping there. If you have an account at Flattr and like an article or the site in general, feel free to use the button to send a few cents my way. If it makes me enough money, I might even think about getting rid of the Google Ads on the site...
I also resetted the amount of Paypal-money: I've been spending quite a bit of money on a new personal fileserver. Ofcourse, it won't be just any yer-olde-gray-atx-case-kind of server, but something more interesting. You'll get something in return too: I'll be posting a new article as soon as it's done, with all steps I took documented and sources for all the firmware I built for it.

Last 10 comments Show allHey. I found your site from your friend's Make article on adding a Pixel Qi screen to his Wind. Would you be interested in selling these cables? I'd be pretty happy to buy one or two. Interested?
Hey nice stuff!
I've followed you site for a while and I really like it, and I admire what you do. I've reached deep and sent a few euros your way, I hope it helps
Yeah, I really oughtta... perhaps later, I've got one or two projects in the queue first before I blow the dust off of that one.
Are you going to post the documentation for the 10$ 3D-Monitor? :D
Nobody's perfect.
Nope. I'm a fan of the GPL because I tend to hack some things which in theory could become a commercial project. I'd hate not to be able to hack a device which even ended up containing my own code. If a company would like a commercial license for my code, we could always discuss that, but every non-trivial piece of code I write is going to end up being under the GPLv3.
For this new project, would you considering using the BSD license instead of the GPLv3?
Working on it; there's a project in the queue which I really like. The hardware for it is almost finished, the software should be a doozy and writing the article will probably eat up most of my time. ETA is 10 days or so, at least I hope it is.
Eugene: Sorry, I'd rather spend the little amount of free time I have on the design of new things. Aside from that: I don't have a Wind myself, so I have no way to test any cables I make. I'd suggest you go find someone in your are who's good at soldering: building such a cable isn't that hard in itself.
