This is superb. I just showed it to my 5 year old son who enjoys Lego and has already taken some great photos, including one or two of his toys. So now he has the seed of the idea that, in time, he could take multiple stills and put them together to make moving pictures. Thank you very much for posting it and giving me and him that opportunity. Maybe, he might use FriendFeed one day too! - John W Lewis
Great project! - Anne Bouey
AWESOME! - Kevin Fox

Vertical docking station for Macbook and Macbook Pro models. Looks neat. Doesn't work with the computers I have though. - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet
This makes me want to get a Macbook Pro… :( - Amit Patel
This thing still isn't available for 15" MBPs :( - Amit Patel
Why does Apple Inc. hate docking stations? - no name
Because a docking station means you won't buy a second machine from them ;) - Amit Patel
That also explains why an iPad seems like a good idea when I already own a Macbook and a smartphone. - no name

We just got a pressure washer. I started pressure washing the bricks in our back patio and the teak furniture when Paul wanted to try it out "for just a second." It's been more than a half an hour and he's still out there. "This is a lot of fun," he says. Yeah, I thought so, too. <pout>
Still waiting for him to finish... - April Buchheit
Awww. :( - Lix
...I rented one of those once, it's a real feeling of power...being able to "blast" things - .LAG liked that
Which one did you get? - τorƍue
A power washer? He should clean out Zuckerbergs bank account. ;) - Roberto Bonini from iPhone
I love a good power washing (left open intentionally). - Eric from iPhone
The only thing that captivates a man more than hosing things down (so to speak) is controlling the remote control. - Friar Will (:^)
It must be a man thing; I love our pressure washer too. - Tudor Bosman
So does April, so apparently not just a man thing. :) - Ruchira S. Datta
It's bad enough when my wife borrows my leaf blower. There's no way I'm letting her touch my power washer! - Gabe
I got to use our pressure washer exactly once; and even then I had to fight for my turn. Gabe loves it so much he will take it over our friends houses and pressure wash their walks too! - Maggie
Oh god, I was at a friend's place when he borrowed one and we all had to take turns playing with it. - Wirehead
Just be careful when doing wooden steps or a deck. I took about a quarter of an inch of surface wood off on of our steps before I realized what was happening. I was using a "turbo" attachment, which evidently heightens the effect more than one would think. - Mark J

Sassanid Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Sassanid Empire (also spelled Sasanid Empire, Sassanian Empire, or Sasanian Empire), known to its inhabitants as Ērānshahr and Ērān, was the last pre-Islamic Persian Empire, ruled by the Sasanian Dynasty from 224 to 651." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet
How is it that I made it through World History class in high school without ever hearing about this empire? - Amit Patel
If you studied in India, then it was definitely taught in their history books, they were referred to as the Aryan Empire. - Shakeel Mahate

"What does that paper tray of deliciousness contain? I’ll break it down for ya. Top: Har Gow dumplings– Shrimp and bamboo. Center: Chicken Bun– Chicken and mushrooms in… that fluffy dough stuff. Bottom: Lotus-Wrapped Sticky Rice– Rice, chicken, shrimp, veggies… and pork. All that was just under $10. (In LA, $10 for lunch is relatively reasonable… it’s cheaper than what I’d pay if I ordered from the menus in our office’s menu-book.)" - imabonehead from Bookmarklet
"Usually after lunch I want a piece of fruit or chocolate or something, but after this I just wanted the sweet memory of dim sum. I savored that shit. Savored. (For an hour, at least. Then it was on to the afternoon snacky train.)" <---EPIC! - imabonehead

Oil spill glows under UV light - Boing Boing
"...researcher Ping Wang pointed me towards his grad student's work with UV light. Turns out that the oil glows bright, head-shop fluorescent orange under UV light. Rip Kirby's ultra-powerful $1800 "Klingon Death Ray" ultraviolet spotlight lit up every particle of oil-stained sand, even in seemingly clean areas, and our footprints showed up Day-Glo orange." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

And that's why dishwashers (not rockstars) get all the chicks. - Paul Buchheit
Shhhhhh!! - Josh Haley from iPhone
agreed! - Susan Shepard
Paul: I don't think you're supposed to put chicks in the dishwasher! - Gabe
on a related note: is that a Miele? #jealous - Bren
NICE! Can't say "pics or it didn't happen" on this one! - Martha
moving items in and out of the dishwasher does not equal "doing the dishes". ;/ i take my dish washing seriously. - Carlos Ayala
He could be nude... ( C'mon, I'm saying what you're thinking...) - Johnny from iPhone
I've never seen a dishwasher that looked like that, with a small shelf on top. - Rochelle
That's definitely a Miele. The family I used to nanny for had one... super nice! - Georgia

I DID THE DISHES ONCE!! WHERE ARE MY GROUPIES? - Vicarbott
Yeah, it's Miele. It seems pretty similar to other dishwashers though. - Paul Buchheit
I should have you talk to my wife ! - Chris Myles
Carlos: (Not pictured) After loading the dishwasher, he handwashed pots and pans and Thomas's high chair tray, and wiped down the table and countertops. After all that, he made me tea with fresh mint. :) - April Buchheit
