Well there's a better quality video of this on youtube. Got to keep the blog alive, or it won't blog things up.

Announcing the arrival of the Madnoodle Phone! Fresh and new for the holiday season of 2008. Available in three different colors. This is the re-design of the ever popular "Grand Dad" phone which was run through demanding random test scenarios in the basements and backyards of Brooklyn, NY. The modification of this device has been been re-designed with versatility in mind. It runs on two AAA batteries, which are easily found in any gas station. A single pull, single throw switch engages a CdS photo-resistor, causing a short circuit, that makes the phone have variable pitch. Depending on how much, and what type of light hits the sensor, the phone pitch will change. An 1/8th" mono output takes this phone to the realm of recording and amplification. Very interesting things can happen. These NSG devices are intended to help you and or a loved one not take the holidays too seriously. There's so much information whizzing around today. Why not try a phone that can't receive or make calls for a change?...Watch this video or you will self destruct. To place an order contact : brett.cliff@gmail.com.

Igor Amokian has done some real cool stuff with these mini synth explorers. A video is on the myspace page. This design should come back into production, if they're available.?!?

This is a prototype of a circuit bent toy cell phone I want to sell. All though this isn't exactly what I have in mind for production, it was very difficult to finish. Now dubbed the "Grand Dad," I am going to come up with a design/mod that does not have a 50k potentiometer. One reason is because I ran out of them after extracting as many as I could from an old mixer that was to be thrown away from a theater where I sometime break things. The other reason is that the potentiometer is really difficult to fit inside the phone with extra wiring ect. I have no schedule for when these circuit bent phones will be available for purchase, but rest assured I want to see people using less and less serious gadgets as their serious counterparts begin to demand so much of our time. In fact I'd like to coin a term NSG (Not Serious Gadget). Try it out!

Toy Red Synth Keys

I stumbled onto how to make these keys bend out quite nicely. Unfortunately it plays this weird melody when you switch sounds. It has a 50k potentiometer buffered with a CdS photo-resistor for accented control/chaos!

Blues Clues Bent Keyboard Sold!

These Keys play songs. I bent it so I couldn't recognize the melodies from staples like Marry Had a Little Lamb. This set of keys has been shipped to Joakim Ahlund of Sweden!

Tape Deck Sold!

I recently parted ways with my newest tape deck. It was bent very well and had some super space sounds. Especially after some delay from Garage band was slapped on the track.
