What Kind Of Atheist Are You?

I found this to be somewhat amusing:

You scored as Apathetic Atheist, Meh… whatever. Apathetic Atheists tend towards disbelief because believing takes more work. These are the people who won’t argue religion, even if a total nutjob confronts them because arguing just seems like a waste of time they could spend doing something else.

I need to find a quiz that test just how religious you are and see how my scores compare. Only right that I fully test the situation.

Amazing LEGO Motor FAQ

LEGO motor FAQIf your LEGO construction skills have progressed past the point of building stuff out of the instruction booklets then you have undoubtedly had the desire to play with the versatile LEGO motors. The LEGO motors are amazingly handy, I can’t say enough good things about that really. The biggest question is what one to use? As they are a bit pricey (hey, these are LEGOs after all) picking and choosing the style might save you some valuable cash. I personally like the 8735 motors myself, but that’s because I have a few from my old Mindstorm kit.
The list give you important info like motor RPM, stall current, torque, and even efficiency. Just the stuff you need to maximize your project. I guess it goes without saying that you can use these motors for non-LEGO applications as well. Just let your creative mind go wild.

DIY – Glowing Crystal Lamp From a Light Bulb

I’m touched, it’s like seeing your child graduate. I have inspired others to follow and improve upon my works. After seeing my photo of the "neo-Victorian New Age Flemming like valve" on Flickr, Donald decided to hollow out a light bulb and build one of his own. Hats off for using a UV LED to excite the dye out of a highlighter marker! He also incorporated a Basic Stamp microcontroller in it so it has some nice flickering when it’s started. Watch the video to see what I mean.

DIY Video Camera – The VanceCam VC25P

I like the idea of building something that fits your needs as opposed to going out and buying it. Building your own video camera is a little exteem but hey, I like that even more.

This is a one-of-a-kind "film-look" digital camcorder custom-built specifically to shoot the independent feature film, Cold Day in Hell. The camera module is based on a Hitachi HV-C20A/E, 1/2" format, 3 CCD industrial PAL camera with 700 lines of resolution.

I love the fact that they used a mechanical shutter in the camera. I bet the camera operator even got to yell ‘speed!’ when there were doing a take.
