OLPC Viewfinders - made on Reprap, originally uploaded by Br3nda.

Checkout out these thingies.

They're viewfinders - slot them into the OLPC XO laptops's top right hand usb port, and they're now in perfect position to be a viewfinder for the laptop's camera.

These were made on a reprap, the open source, open hardware 3d printer that's capable of printing copies of itself.

They're made from a milk byproduct polymer/plastic. They cost a fraction of a cent each.

These were printed by Vik Olliver, who also painted them XO green. THANKS VIK!! :-D

Get in contact with OLPC NZ if you'd like a copy of the file that prints these.

today someone heckled my talk and introduced me (and the rest of the room) to Open Pandora... and also i find in my inbox an email from a friend about this gizmo:

There is an enthusiast designed open hardware platform coming out
soon, the Open Pandora. Basically a clamshell design, about the size
of a Nintendo DS, with an 800x480 touch screen, qwerty keyboard, wifi,
bluetooth, SD slots for external storage, usb, OpenGL 3D acceleration
and a built in dsp for sound and graphics processing. And 10 hours
battery life. It runs Linux, and Ubuntu is already booting on it. The
