Crafty


Unfortunately, I’m not on holidays anymore, but if I were then I might be doing fun things like making charming papercraft structures like this Superaurus, this Wild Boar and this sweet thing called “Lucky cat (Beckoning for money)”. Or even this E-type Jag, once my favourite car in the world, or Japan’s Himeji castle. There is even a paper model of my cat, Simby (he’s a Abyssinian). All this is courtesy of Canon and their 3D PaperCraft site, I found the address in a PDF printer brochure trying to clean up my Desktop/Documents/computer/life. I imagine there will plenty more strange links in the next month as I spring clean my digital files and the scary scary pit that is my Firefox bookmarks. I might even get round to tagging the last twenty or so entries.

Via Ikea Hacker, Toon Beerten has hacked an Ikea Mylonit table lamp into a super cool mood lamp. I love the video of it changing colours, maybe it’s the music in the background (Goldfrapp - Lovely Head - YouTube clip), I’ve just been playing it over and over again. If you are comfortable putting together programmed circuit boards, there are instructions. Otherwise, enjoy the video:
