"...the ISS Globe continuously shows you where the ISS is overhead. The team of sciencehackers used a translucent globe, two hobby servos, a MakerBot for 3D printing a few gears, a Teensy microcontroller and a laser that was mounted inside of the globe. Firmware controlled interaction between a laptop and the servos and a Python client controlled interaction between the microcontroller and the servos. The end product was a globe with a glowing red dot that would show you where the ISS currently was throughout the day."
Steve Yegge: It's easy to come up with new product ideas if you start with the understanding that everything sucks. Everything can stand improvement. Just think about what you'd change if you were doing it for yourself, and everything should start falling into place.
