Newspaper Box Casemod is Cool, Useful

paperbox.jpgCasemods come and casemods go, and I can’t usually give a damn about them. Sure, they’re neat, your computer is really made of Legos. Awesome. But sometimes I come across one that’s neat and functional, and that gets my attention.

Check out this flickr set by user stwalker, who took a discarded newspaper box, a 17-inch LCD, a Mac Mini, and a little AppleScript, put it all together, and got above results. It takes headlines (presumably via RSS) and formats them to look like the front page of a newspaper. I wanna do this. Totally awesome.

I am pretty sure he gets the front page from Newseum not reformatting RSS.

Interesting ice breaker for any party!

yeah it looks similar to a webpage that’s being displayed … still a nice idea though.
