Milk Carton Marble Run…
MAKE Flickr photo pool member laurence posted a neat photo in the MAKE pool – This is a marble-run made out of milk cartons. I saw it at the Tokyo National Museum where they had a whole room filled with various creative ways of “recycling” these cartons. Link.
Print photo books from Flickr…
Awhile back I wrote about the surprise book and poster I received in the mail from Flickr – and now the service that lets you print your photos to a book/poster is live (beta). $15.95 for a perfect-bound book or $9.99 for a poster. For the books you can do all photos, sets and by date. There are lots of options for layout too- could make a nice gift. Link.
The PlaySphere – Modded PS2
Cool mod- The PlaySphere is a PS2 mod that transforms a regular PS2 into a bowling ball shaped gaming console. I really like the aesthetic and the pics on the site that show exactly how a PS2 actually fits into the sphere are amazing. The best part of this was that Sony actually sponsored the mod, as it was done as part of a PS2 modding contest in Ireland. [via] Link.
CD covers from old floppy discs…
Don’t throw out those dusty 5″ floppy discs with your beta tapes and eight-tracks just when they’ve acquired real collector clout. Instead, follow Anthony Georgis’s example and use the sturdy black covers to protect updated technology. Slice the edge off with a paper cutter, and slip in your hot-off-the-burner CD... Link.
The Lego Computer
Here’s a really detailed site documenting the construction of a Lego PC, start to finish. My favorite part about this is that all the switches and lights are Lego based…Link.
