Another idea for interior closet doors
I like this one where the author also added in casters to the doors. The author re-used the existing bi-fold doors and converted them into normal like doors. http://ana-white.com/2010/08/behind-closet-doors.html

Raspberry Pi Dashcam
OK I should have seen this coming, the author has been busy working on building a dashcam system (2 cameras, GPS, etc) with an RPi. I like the RPi ignition sensitive power supply (below) the author uses. Thought at $20, … Continue reading
