Cave of Forgotten Dreams


32,000 years ago, 1300 feet into a cave...paintings...

2000 year old analog computer remade with legos


The Antikythera Mechanism in Lego from Small Mammal on Vimeo.


wow, so amazing that someone could figure this out in the first place, AND then actually build a working model (2000 years ago). Precise, accurate...and no computer? no cnc? no laser? no calipers?!

OK, this is the Dodge Challenger, however "With the introduction of the new 2011 Challenger SRT8 392 at the SEMA Show last week, Dodge brand boss and Chrysler design chief Ralf Gilles dropped a bit hint at the return of the Plymouth Barracuda."

double take...same but different

to be fair, they look similar, but have different methods of how the nano attaches. i prefer scott wilson's tik-tok and lunatik, but this made me do a double take.

Thought droplet...

What something "is" isn't determined by form, it's really more by imagination and interpretation.

OK, more doing, less thinking...
