I don’t often randomly surf for people… but this guy [Matthias Wandel] wrote some software I was using (for the first time, about 5-6 years ago) [jhead] and I randomly browsed over to his personal site and thought he was really (really) cool… Neat projects and inventions, done both logically and creatively (a combination I admire and strive for, though which I tend to exhibit to a lessor degree).
he came up in conversation again today and so I found his site again and found this page (among others) which just makes me go all warm and fuzzy:

note the great video of the machine in action
and don’t forget to check out the first version:

or the home made pipe organ or the scanning camera or the cannon… etc…
cool stuff, cool stuff…
(looking forward to having a workshop when we move back to Louisville)
