    If you're a reader of Engadget (and let's be honest -- you're reading this, right?) then you surely know Ben Heck's work. The master modder has been the source of some of our favorite tweaks, hacks, and flat-out crazy gadget manipulations over the years. We recently had a chance to take a peek inside his workshop and hear straight from Ben about what drives him to create the madness we've see on our pages. It's a phantasmagoric adventure you won't likely forget -- so sit back, crack a cold one, and enjoy the ride! Note: Don't forget, our next full length Engadget Show is happening this Thursday, and our guest is Steve Ballmer! Update: Video is now live! Sorry about that!

    The Engadget Show returns Thursday, October 22nd, in New York City, and we couldn't be more excited about our guest. We'll sit down live and in-person with CEO of Microsoft Steve Ballmer for a frank and unscripted one-on-one conversation... on the day of the Windows 7 launch! As you may already know, the Show is filmed live in front of an audience once a month -- but if you can't make it, don't worry. We're bringing the video back home to Engadget (and as a free download here or in the iTunes Store) for your viewing pleasure. The full show will be online just a few days after we tape. For this next show, we will also be livestreaming! (Details to come) We'll have a lot more info in the coming days and weeks (like where to be and when), but for now, mark your calendars... and get ready! If you want to catch up, you can see the first episode of The Engadget Show here, and our first short segment here.

  • Challenge: Make your own Natal demo video, get yourself on The Engadget Show

    We hope by now you've seen the video of Microsoft's Kudo Tsunoda demoing the latest software to undergo the Project Natal treatment -- Beautiful Katamari and Space Invaders Extreme. If you haven't, you really should, because there's nothing quite like seeing a man gesticulate wildly for seemingly no reason. In that post, a commenter of ours -- aardWolf -- made the genius suggestion that people do their own "demo" videos of Project Natal. We think that's a grand, grand idea... and we're going one better. If you make those videos, we'll put them together in a segment for The Engadget Show. Here's what we want from you, the reader: Film yourself "playing" a game "with" Project Natal Upload the video to YouTube, Viddler, or the video site of your choice tagged with "engadget natal contest" (with quotes, at least on Viddler), and specify exactly what game you're playing. Feel free to give details. Email us at engadgetshow [at] engadget [dot] com with "natal video" in the subject, as well as the link and any pertinent info you'd like to provide (or you can just leave a link in comments) Lather, rinse, repeat Once we get some good entries, we'll cut the whole shebang together in a segment for The Engadget Show (provided you guys aren't super boring or something -- though we don't think that will be an issue). It goes without saying that by submitting a video you're granting us the rights to use it on the Show and in any Show promotional materials we might produce. Don't worry, we won't sell you into slavery or anything. Probably. In case your memory is super bad, we've included the clip of Kudo after the break.

    In addition to our full length Engadget Show, we'll be doing short segments on a wide variety of topics which we're hoping will delight, inform, or at least entertain for a few, precious moments. Ever wondered who makes the outrageous displays in Times Square? Now you'll know. Josh talks to Meric Adriansen from D3 LED, the man who designs and builds those massive structures, and goes behind the scenes to see the rigs from the other side. Want to get deep inside of the art and science behind the light pollution that is -- literally -- New York's most visible spot? Watch the video... and subscribe to the RSS / iTunes feed below (we're still waiting on Zune Marketplace approval). Also, if you missed the premiere of the show with Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein, you can see it here.
