Tight, check out this really cool M&M Line Trace Robot! It’s awesome! They should sell these at M&M stores. (I recently bought a M&M sculpture for my dad’s birthday but this is even better!)
For the holidays, my local grocery store sold m&m’s candy containers in the shape of a racecar. The containers are painted metal (probably steel), with a thin plastic coating on the inside. A dinky package of plain m&m

Oh boy, I am looking forward to this cool giant nose picking machine powered by human hamster wheels! (at the Maker Faire)
Here’s a fun interactive toy in the Rube Goldberg style. The “coin” is a 10′ human hamster wheel. Participants walk on the wheel. This turns a pulley which turns a large disc from an electrical spool which lifts a see-saw lever which lifts an “arm” which twists a finger into the nose of a 12 foot face suspended on a 23 foot

Remember our post on Post-It Pixel Wall? Well, here’s some Post-It Super Mario and Donkey Kong from 10 UC Santa Cruz students. Great job guys!
Donkey Kong (Miyamoto, et. al.,1981) was the first appearance of the Itallian plumber we now know as Mario. While this game’s early ’80s arcade popularity predates mo
We dare you to build a larger and better penny pyramid than this one…
We have all suffered from this affliction at one point or another. The subconscious act of simply dumping one pennies into a jar or other black hole type containers! In this site you will find economic reasons, constructive fun, and charitable options in ridding this uncontrollable urge. The “Penny Pyramid Project” is also here to promote and educate that the penny continues to be a very important
Wow, check out this cool concept PC, it looks like a spaceship.
The one pictured above looks like a cross between a UFO and a witch’s hat. We don’t even know what to think about these. We don’t really see the technological advancement in any of these designs, though they are very pretty. They actually seem like a tongue in cheek, almost humorous design project.
Here’s a nice wireless wall digital photo frame howto.
A quick search of the web turned up several do-it-yourself articles by photographers that had built their own digital frames – typically from discarded laptops. The laptop based digital frames have larger screens (10” to 15”), and tend to be reasonably inexpensive to build (provided you own a discarded laptop).
The laptop projects that I saw had a couple of common issues, however. All of them involved taking the laptop apart completely and ge
Wow, check this out, a dress made out of wood! (well carved actually) Kalina made all sorts of stuff out of wood. Check out some of her other cool creations.
Check out the CompuBeaver, a PC that does looks like a Beaver made out of a taxidermy beaver!
This is funny: (I feel bad for the beaver though…poor animal)
Because the inside was foam, I needed more internal structure and decided to fiberglass it. As awful as fiberglass is to deal with, it sure is strong stuff, and would allow drilling, etc., for the components and cords without fear of everything cav
Wow, check out these color changing shower heads! It seems pretty basic (probably just high intensity LEDs on top), regardless, we like the overall design and originality! I’d love to have one of these showers, it’d be really cool… (well, maybe we can hack one easy…)
Perfect for creating a dramatic accent color, or merely for it’s therapeutic effect the lighted shower head embraces contemporary style. Created by Signorini Design, the Ultra Slim show
Check out some of these really cool Terminator-like technological breakthrough sculptures. Although none of them are really functional, it’s a really great artwork… (I’d want one in my livingroom…) Actually, the bug robots seem like they can do stuff…
