I saw this on MAKE today. I used to dream about building this sort of thing. However, due to time and a billion other things I never did.
Using LEGO bricks, soldering nails, various electronic components to build an “Lego Electronic Lab Kit”.
Exactly! a concept so simple and cool that it’s a wonder that LEGO themselves have not already produced the. Ok, if your old enough to remember the Dacta line they had some sensors and such, but nothing like this. Makes me want to get my electronics parts bin out and do some building…

The whole getting back to basics thing hit the guy hard. At least he owns a digital camera.
His work is amazing. Its good to know that someone is still doing work like this. I have read how wet plate tintypes were made and I know that it’s very hard work. I’d be more than happy to pay $15 for a 5×7 photo. A true one of a kind creation. as there is no ‘negative’ in this process.
Civil War Era Grips Tintype Rebel

I found at on Gizmodo tonight:
The face needed to be a black material, so I chose black ¼-inch acrylic, but it couldn’t go flush, so I removed the plastic face of the case and built a ¾-inch-thick square ring to bring the face of the HAL out enough for my drive to be stealthed and to allow for differences in the case. To make the ring light up, I put green LEDs behind it and cut the two face-plate pieces out.
Personaly I think this is bunches better than the first place entry. Star Wars is over rated…

Cool, I want to build a hotel out of these. Too bad only smart people could stay there, the dumb ones would end up hurting themselves. Stupid people suck.
TurnOn consists of several revolving modules linked together. Each module’s interior would be outfitted for a specific room or function, such as a kitchen, bedroom, or exercise room. The wheel turns, and as the positioning of the module changes, so does its function. While cooking, the couch becomes the ceiling, the dining table a wall. Another module would house the bathroom, including the toilet, shower, and bath. One would simply rotate the module to utilize one of the facilities.
