Can I Have Your LEGOs?

Honorary Borderline Sociopathic Boy Streaty appears to be hanging up his... well, I guess his thumbs. He's likely getting on in years, (too tall for the rides now) and needs to move on to a more adult focus for his life; probably raising sharks and outfitting them with lasers or something. Streaty, we salute you!

Sluffing Off Work For The Day

Xavier de Le Rue has a good job. If he survives it.

From his bio: "Better try and crash than think you could do it and not give it a shot."

A Borderline Sociopathic Boy's rallying cry if there ever was one.

In Russia, You Can Ski Up The Mountain, Too

You'll be able to locate Sergei this summer. Just look for the house with five feet of grass out front.

Me, I always wanted to try waterskiing, but I could never find a lake on a hill.

Embrace The Dork: Dorkbot

Dorkbot: People doing strange things with electricity.



According to their website, Dorkbot is an organization founded "to create an informal, friendly environment in which people can talk about the work they're doing and to foster discussion about that work; to help bring together people from different backgrounds who are interested in similar things; to give us all an opportunity to see the strange things our neighbors are doing with electricity."

Hear, hear. I've heard there's a movement afoot to pass legislation to require that the Tesla coils in their shows be replaced with 40 watt Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs, and the music be replaced by Perry Como albums. The BSBFB stands proudly with all electricity dorks everywhere to keep electricity weird -- and straightforward. Grab your sliderules, and to the barricades comrades!

World's Only Cool Bicycle Helmet

Jonathan Summerfield built a "pennyfarthing," a version of the first bicycles. They called it a pennyfarthing because the big wheel in the front with a much smaller trailing wheel looked like a British penny next to a British farthing coin. Like so, from Wikipedia:

Between 2006 and 2008, Jonathan cycled 22,000 miles on his machine, visiting 22 countries along the way. He has a profoundly unattractive white-text-on-black-background webpage with lot's of apostrophe's here and there that's fun to poke around in. His running journal summary is kind of a hoot, with Pythonesque "My knees gave out -- again," anecdotes over and over. He never did burn and crash into the swamp, though.

Listen, lad.  I built this kingdom up from nothing.  When I started
    here, all there was was swamp.  Other kings said I was daft to build a
    castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em.  It sank
    into the swamp.  So, I built a second one.  That sank into the swamp.  So
    I built a third one.  That burned down, fell over, then sank into the
    swamp.  But the fourth one... stayed up!  And that's what you're gonna get,
    lad: the strongest castle in these islands.
