Wow. This is just an amazing display of elite Theremin skills.
What is a Theremin? It’s an instrument that is played by disrupting an electric field with your bodies natural capacitance. The disruption produced odd and ethereal tones.

Wooden Binary Adding Machine
Quite amazing. I hope he builds some more computer parts out of wood.
… a few months ago, I had an idea as to how the divide by two mechanisms from my first marble machine could be cascaded together to actually function as a sort of adder or counter. Once I had that idea, I knew I had to try it at some point, and recently, I finally got around to building my marble binary adding machine.
Problem Light (Steampunk edition)
Very nice execution of this project.
Think of a smoke alarm…but more general.
So, as I began plotting my own problem light, in the Venture Bros style, my friend told me she was redoing her living room steampunk-style.
I began to wonder, how do you do a late 1800s LED…and I ran to scribble a drawing.
The photoset of the build is quite detailed and lends itself to being easily reproducible, it would be a fun project for a long weekend.

Nuked Czech Live Remote
This may not have been the most advisable of artistic hacks ever done, but it did look pretty good. Nothing like watching the weather and all of a sudden you see a bright flash followed by a mushroom cloud! Who says the cold was is dead?
Members of ZTOHOVEN connected up to one of the stationary camera during TV weathercast and in real time broadcast their own shots, which showed nuclear exposion. Then the picture changed. Instead of the name of the locality (Black Mine) the website reference ZTOHOVEN.com (now is overloaded) came up on the screen.
No nuclear weapons have been harmed in the making of this video clip.

Bacon Place Mats. What’s Next, Salmon Trivets?
Ok, now I like bacon as much as the next guy but this is getting out of hand. Seriously.
Maybe this should be used in the ‘perfect bacon butty’.
