When the beer manager at Oxford University's Wolfson college decided that patrons weren't getting their beers fast enough in the college bar, he programmed a Raspberry Pi to run things more smoothly. Typical student. Read More >>
No doubt about it, the Raspberry Pi is nothing short of a homebrew phenomenon. Since its release in February 2012, the British micro-mini-computer has enabled legions of amateur inventors to develop projects both weird and wonderful. Here's a run-down of the most impressive applications, ranging from weather stations to retro arcades to a supercomputer array on a Lego rack. See if any of them inspire you to do the same.

We already know the great things that can happen with water repelling magic, but the folks over at Adafruit took it a step further and risked a little electrocution. But the result, submersible circuit boards, is definitely cool enough to be worth the trouble. Read More >>
For everyone in the world whose heart has not blackened and shriveled beyond repair, nothing boosts your mood quite like a new family addition in the form of a dog. That is, until you have to wake up at the crack of dawn to let that needy, opposable-thumbless mutt out. But new dog owner and Raspberry Pi enthusiast David Hunt has rigged himself up a highly creative solution: a door that automatically unlocks at your dog's bark—or as he's dubbed it, Pi-Rex.

"..But can it run Crysis?
Seriously though, if the dog used this at night, the door would be left open all night as it doesn't close itself!" More »

The RasPiComm is an easy way to add extra functionality to the Raspberry Pi, docking with the Pi's header unit to provide more ports and -- hooray! -- a backup battery so the thing can remember what time it is when powered down. Read More >>

The maker of the sensational Raspberry Pi has built a limited edition 1,000 unit run of blue-boarded versions of the tiny computer, to celebrate one year of disrupting the home computing scene. You can't buy the blue one, though. It's being saved for use as prizes and free donations to charitable causes. If know someone or a project that deserves a freebie Pi, tweet the maker using these rules. Read More >>
The Raspberry Pi truly is a mini-marvel, and it's ignited hackers everywhere -- people can make almost anything with it, including sending the thing into space. In fact, it's gotten so mainstream that even the Design Museum is holding Pi-hacking competitions. Read More >>

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has had a camera module in the works for since May last year, but it's finally getting closer to reality. It'll apparently cost about the same as the Pi board, so £20-odd, and will be capable of HD video. Probably 5MP then -- perfect for those self-built aerial spy drones to keep tabs on your neighbours.

With home automation being all the rage these days, it was only a matter of time before Siri got her little, occasionally judgmental claws into the action. All it took was YouTube user Elvis Impersonator, a Raspberry Pi, and enough trust in Siri's goodness to believe she won't devolve into a Hal 9000 wannabe. Read More >>

If you're in the market for a super-cheap computer to hack to your heart's content, but $35 was too much dough for you, then Christmas is here: the stripped-down Raspberry Pi Model A, with no ethernet, only 256MB of RAM, and 1/3rd the power consumption of the more powerful Model B, is here at last, for just $25. Scrooge modders, rejoice! Only don't open the champagne -- that'd be a bit pricey. [Raspberry Pi] Read More >>
