Network MP3 Player

This mp3 player [MP3elf]
was recently featured on the hack-a-day blog, is a pretty clever little jem, capapble of revieveing streamed audio across a network and then pumping it into a sterio or for amplification. Its licensed via BSD so its all open source, which of course means that all the plans are free to download if you wish to build one from scratch instead of buy one or buying a kit.

Along with giveing relistic advice on simple photography, it allso walks through te process of creating a simple (and budgeted) light box for creating a diffused lighting eviornment
