Made On Earth
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.
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.
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.
A Classic Dobsonian – handmade telescope
From MAKE’s Terrie Miller! One of the hand-made telescopes at John Dobson’s 90th birthday party (Aug. 27, 2005 at the Randall Museum in San Francisco). Dobson pioneered this easy-to-make telescope design and co-founded the San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomers. (See more in this set.) Link.
Mech model made from junk…
The end result is pretty nice…in line with my desperate attempt to be a jack-of-all-trades (and master of some?) I decided to build a model of a mech out of garbage. Now I’ve seen some damn fancy scrap mech building in my day. When you’re done visiting here, check out this stuff, which I think is mostly kit-based but with lots of customization. [via] Link.
