Watch a Glassblower Sculpt a Horse
Glassblowing is beautiful to watch: seeing the artist mold the pliable molten glass into a shape using just their breath (and sometimes tongs) as the primary tools.

Makey Awards 2012 Nominee 15, Rancilio Silvia Espresso Maker, Most Hackable Gadget
There are a lot of reasons to love the Rancilio. It’s got a powerful pump to push water through densely packed, finely ground coffee.

The steel cover can be removed with an ordinary Phillips-head screwdriver. And once you take the cover off, you see that there’s plenty of room in there. It’s easy to access all the inner workings of the machine.
