I found a different Christmas wreath today, you know I looked for some before I started my own version but couldn’t find much of anything that was a wreath and made with computer parts. Google has failed me…

This site has all sorts of methods of building motors, valves, and switches that run off from pressurized air and all are made with that classic building material, LEGO.

Millimeter Wave Active Denial System
Ouch! The effect of this device is to make it feel like your being melted.
The ADS shoots a beam of millimeters waves, which are longer in wavelength than x-rays but shorter than microwaves — 94 GHz (= 3 mm wavelength) compared to 2.45 GHz (= 12 cm wavelength) in a standard microwave oven.
I wonder if I can get one in a flashlight form factor…

Flickr’s Excellent Xmas Easter Egg
As seen on Boing Boing:

Too much fun. I wonder if there are any more…

Already over 1,100 people have submitted their works for the project (that’s a lot of balls, eh?) So go download a scene file and get rendering!
(I hope they produce a calendar of the best works, that would like nice of the old lab wall.)
