Trouble for LEGO?

Apparently a Dutch court ruled that the LEGO brick is not protected by European Trademarks, and therefore, open to being copied and imitated legally.
That is big news to me, and to LEGO too I’m sure, because for generations they were the de facto standard of building toys.  I played with them for more time then [...]

Rolling Ball Things!

There’s just something about Rube Goldberg machines, and rolling ball sculptures that is awesome.
Here are a collection of 15 awesome ones.
Below are my favorites:

That’s on the ceiling, while you probably wont get to get a good look at it, and the look you do get would be with a stiff neck, it’s pretty cool nonetheless. [...]

LED Chandelier

My house is gonna be filled of LED devices and computer parts, and a faraday cage underground.  It is gonna be a super awesome cool house though.
My living room will have my Interactive LED Table, now I think my Dining room will have this nice LED Chandelier:

I really like the idea of exposing the wires [...]

Dangerous Fun things

var FO_1148 = {movie:”http://clipaday.com/flvplayer.swf”,width:”425″,height:”350″,majorversion:”7″,build:”0″,bgcolor:”#FFFFFF”,allowfullscreen:”true”,flashvars:”file=http://media1.clipaday.com/embed/m_videos/upload_1207250908.flv.flv&image=http://media1.clipaday.com/embed/m_videos/thumbs/upload_1207250908.jpg&lightcolor=0xF6C230&backcolor=0×000000&frontcolor=0xCCCCCC&logo=http://clipaday.com/images/playerlogo.png&link=http://clipaday.com” };UFO.create(FO_1148,”chain-surfing”);
This seems so dangerous, yet fun, and difficult at the same time. They guy is talented, but daring. There were a few times when it looked like he was gonna fall into the street.

Best Way to Get Home

Just watching this video gives me memories of playing RollerCoaster Tycoon all day and night.  It looks like a really great way to get from work to home.  I mean, look at the size and length of that warer slide.  I know the video is only 1 minute long, but it must take at least [...]

Awesome Fountains on a Bridge

That is the coolest bridge in the world.  I would drive over that at least 3 times a day.  I wish we had some cool instlations like this in America, this is how NYC’s Waterfalls should have been.
I imagine that you can’t go under that bridge when the fountains are running, which sucks, but oh [...]

Giant LEGO Mario

Ever wanted a giant LEGO model of Mario from Super Mario Bros? Well, Keith Brogan of the Luxology forums did, so he made one. It is very detailed as you can see above.

Original Mario statue being scanned into a NextEngine 3D scanner.  Then he converted it to wireframe, and then LEGOized it:

Now [...]

Alternate view on Gilligan’s Island

Well, This is an interesting take on Gilligan’s Island:
Years ago, CBS had a popular little series called GILLIGAN’S ISLAND. There is, however, a dark secret about this “comedy” you may never have realized.
The island is a direct representation of hell. Nobody on the island wants to be there, yet none are able to leave.
Each one [...]

Snowflake Maker

I love interactive things like this.  Just alittle click of the mouse, and I have a beautiful work of art.  This time it’s some snowflakes.

As you can see I spent some time and had fun with it.  It took me 3 tries before I got a “typical” snowflake, at least in my mind.  The 3-D [...]

My next table

Spark Fun has an awesome table that I may want. Well, maybe not, its way too in depth and expensive for me. I like my simple Interactive LED coffee table better. Now, if we could get Tetris onto the above table, then I may be forced to make/buy it…
