This is a worthwhile (and trippy) stop-motion animation created by animator Daren Jannace using the 10,946 Post-It notes he drew over the course of a year (30 a day x 365, minus 4 for some reason). The soundtrack is audio taken from his phone during the year of animation. Played
Crafted by Swiss designers team’by’wellis, this is a video demonstration of a wooden dining table that can expand its width without the use of traditional leaves. That…looks expensive. I can’t even imagine the amount of time and effort that went into building that table. Is that specifically for Thanksgiving dinner?
Inspired by Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests, this is a video demonstration of Dutch game designer Giliam de Carpentier’s Carpentopod, a wooden coffee table that walks and can be remote controlled. Carpentopod, fetch me a beer! “Remote controlled, not voice controlled.” Riiiiight. *tossing empty can on floor* Well it could use a
Constructed by Youtube channel HeroTech, this is a lightsaber that extends and retracts in a manner that looks convincingly like the real (fictional) thing.

Tell me, if you were tasked with eating that entire thing as quickly as possible,
After seven years of construction, artist Robert Wechsler has finally completed assembly of a giant cube made from 100,000 pennies. Each individual penny has four notches cut from its sides at 90-degree angles so they could be assembled K’Nex style into sheets, then stacked into this 540-pound cube. Damn, 100,000
These are a couple videos of Ryan Randomness riding the homemade railcar he built along lengths of abandoned tracks in California, Arizona, and other parts of the American southwest. Admittedly, it looks like a good time. But maybe that has something to do with my fantasies of being a cowboy.
