For use on days with uninteresting skies.

Another photo viewer keyring dismembered and put in a tin. In this case I took off the backlight, making the LCD transparent. The button in the middle turns it on and off.









Mini USB charging, because the backlight has been removed the battery is good for a couple of days solid use.



Hold it up to a light source to see the clouds!

Awesome, its like a proper invention and everything that would definately sell and is probably recession proof. People will afterall always need clouds. Plus you will have an entire product line soon, and I like the idea of buying them all for a discounted price.

What do you use to cut the tin?

Something like a Dremel and tin snips.

I hate it...this is the worst thing ever.

All of the above is of course a lie. Very cool. Good to see your busy working on your book :p The nicest touch of all for me however is the label. Very nice idea and it looks great. Maybe you need to try and do something similar with video next. That'd be a great. Some kind of degraded video player to take with you on the tube and upload your fave shows/movies.

I actually totally agree – it would be really great with video instead of cycling pictures. If I can find a cheap player that could loop video, I'd go for it. I think it would be better if the user didn't have control over the video added though; I really like the idea of the content being part of the thing. If that makes any sense…
