Text: LIBERTY IN GOD WE TRUST 1989 object | indoor | size comparison with a quarter | #b87333 | #a9a9a9 | macro | Colors: #b87333, #a9a9a9 Note: The image is a photograph of a small object alongside a coin for scale.  It captures real-world items in a studio-like setting.

Here’s some of the more interesting hardware projects active on Kickstarter right now.

KADE – A open source arcade game controller with USB that allows personal computers, console gaming systems and DIY projects to easily add authentic retro-style arcade game controllers.

The Vamp – turn any speaker into a bluetooth wireless speaker with this add-on device. Brilliant and simple idea.

Bluetooth Earbuds w/ Magnetic Dock – bluetooth headphones that clip onto your clothes, reducing the amount of cord and creating an easier form factor for storing headphones when not in use.

Fuel: World’s Smallest Cell Phone Charger – a rechargeable, key ring-sized cell phone power booster in the shape of a little gas can. Cute.

SOS Charger – backup power that never runs out. This USB charger is powered by a hand crank.
