Wednesday Cool Links: Laserin', Artin', ...
Dave Hrynkiw
January 16, 2013
This week: Blizzards. Ice. Snow drifts. Rather sunny and warm. Wait, what?
Yup, we've seen it all this week folks. All that's left is for delicious pastries to start falling from the skies, and we can check off the last item on our home-made "meteorological phenomena" list. And boy, you have no idea how long it took to cross "raining clear pomegranate juice" from the list. I think we've all licked more than our share of puddles, trying to not let a single freakishly fruity storm cloud pass us by undetected.
So, while we sit here pondering pastries, have a look at some of the stuff online that's been distracting us from licking whatever drops out of the sky:
|
Box Designer Tool Use a laser cutter or just want to fold your own boxes? Check out this nifty online tool. |
 |
Below the Boat - Laser-Cut Topographical Maps These topographical maps (showing elevation) have been used by laser-cutting and stacking pieces of wood. The finished product is quite stunning. |
 |
Re: Sound Bottle: a Device that Creates Your Own Personal Soundtrack Jun Fujiwara from the Tama Art University has made this neat project that lets you capture (record) sounds into a bottle, which become music. |
 |
Indoor Temporary Nimbus Clouds Netherlands-based artist Berndnaut Smilde found a way to create (very temporary) clouds indoors through the use of smoke, moisture, and light, and captured it with some stunning photography. |
 |
1967 Toyota 2000GT Solar Electric Vehicle We've seen our fair share of electric and solar-powered vehicles, but I hereby declare this as the SEXIEST ONE EVER. Classic Japanese hot rod mixed with modern electronics? Yes please. |
Although, we're all a little bit more wary about hail ever since that crystallized dog food hail the other week. We thought for sure it was chocolate. It wasn't.
Although Ruby (the shop dog) had the time of her life.

Hmmm... what's that big truck bringing? ...
Well, what a pleasant surprise - a large truck dropped by today and delivered our shipment of GM10 gear motors! They're $12.00/ea or $9.50/ea USD in pairs ($15.50/ea or $12.75/ea in pairs for Canadians) - much less expensive than converting nanoservos!
Solarbotics at MakerShed
Yeah, you got it: at the Bay Area Maker Faire, on May 17 and 18, 2014. With some exciting new stuff. It requires sun, balls and mice. And no, it is not a solar-powered feline. It is much better. (Note: mice mention was only for confusion purposes, I confess). In any case, whatever it is, […]
