Since the NES sold like a gazillion units back in the 80s, it makes perfect sense to have even more controllers lying around, waiting to be recycled (or suffer a different fate). For those with a penchant for DIY items, why not turn this into a coin purse as depicted here? The NES controller has also been lined with an adorable looking fabric. You should be able to find plenty of such NES controllers on eBay before you embark on this project. Would be nice to see this compartmentalized inside to store DS cards instead.

Asthma patients can be a pretty fragile bunch, and in poorer countries, these people rarely have the opportunity nor purchasing power to pick up a “spacer” that actually creates an air chamber right in front of the mouth, whereby the inhaler will discharge its medicine for the patient to breathe it in easily. These devices could cost around $50 which is definitely out of reach for the destitute, but thankfully brilliant folks from Stanford University’s Design School along with the School of Medicine managed to come up with their own homebrew solution - using the origami concept to build your very own spacer out of paper. The price to pay? Less than a measly quarter.



Electronics enthusiast Jason Hickner has gone retro by conjuring up this cool clock that tells the time via a game of Space Invaders. All he needed was an old Sony portable TV and a circuit that generates the video to create the game. To tell the time, each extra life shows the hours, while every alien represents one minute. For those who are too busy to count aliens at a glance, the last four digits of the high score will also do the trick.
