Pyrrha: Pandora to Portable Podcast

Now this is a great idea: take a Pandora music stream and turn it into a portable "podcast" (actually, just a single MP3 file) that can be used by any portable music player. Pyrcast has created a free utility that does just that, called Pyrrha, which was Pandora's daughter (clever!).

Pyrrha allows you to choose which Pandora station you'd like to convert into a Podcast, and the makers stress that the program is not intended to infringe on any copyrights.

Pyrrha is available at http://www.pyrcast.com/.

Palm Pilot Robot Kit

This page describes how to convert that old Palm III into a cool little robot--perfect for those old units that are gathering dust in the drawer. You can build it from scratch or buy a pre-made kit; there are also some cool add-ons like a digital compass that are available. Now if I only had the time..... :-)
