The Lumbering Contraption — Video
Nick Winterhalter got this great video by attaching a camera to one of the spokes of The Lumbering Contraption at the race. I love the water bottle.
Treehouse Sighted On The Worlds Web Nets
While scrolling though Boing-Boing today I came across a post to a Steampunk article that mentioned our Steampunk Treehouse. This time the article is in the latest edition of the IEEE. The IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. I get a kick when I see my art […]
The Baikonur Cosmodrome — A Russian Rocket City
Follow the link below to some large and gorgeous photos of the Russian Rocket City in Kazakstan. When NASA’s last scheduled Space Shuttle mission lands in June of 2010, the United States will not have the capability to get astronauts into space again until the scheduled launch of the new […]
The Lumbering Contraption — photos from the race
The race was fantastic. So much fun. We were not the fastest there (shocking), in fact, I don’t even remember any of our times. We did win a lovely trophy for Best Engineering. Number of “official” runs = 2 Number of injures = 1 Severity of injury = “minor” Below […]
PLAF — Autonomous Mechanisms by Eltono And Momo

Christoper Pearson’s Digital Reliefs
Projecting high-pass filtered animations on stone walls to create animated reliefs … Nifty.
The Lumbering Contraption — Front Car
Here are some of the latest shots of the hot-rod hamster-wheel of death (a.k.a – The Lumbering Contraption). Let me ask you … does this look like something you would want picking your nose? There were a bunch of people shooting video tonight as we gave it a test run […]
The Internet Tells Lies
My last post on the Lumbering Contraption was featured on the Make blog where they noted that our Railcar was much like The Disgusting Spectacle ( a gloriously absurd work of art built by friends at NIMBY ). While it is true that they are both human powered and both […]
The Lumbering Contraption
Ummmmmm — why are we building a 10′ tall 10′ wide hamster wheel call the Lumbering Contraption? (Not to pick noses, as the Internets would have you believe.) Well, this Sunday, September 28th, 2008, is the great Handcar Regatta — a race of human-powered rail-track creations. We have been hard […]

You know … for your ears — Vol.2
Let me introduce you to Buck 65. I’m not even sure what to say about this guy. He has made some of the best music I’ve heard in years. Brilliant, clever lyrics, deep melody, a poetic, hip-hop flow as smooth as it is gritty — as if J Cash were […]
LHC Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment Webcams
Here are some live webcams from the LHC. A touch on the dull side (high energy physics is just not that exciting) but worth watching:
