Some more stuff to stare open-jawed at.

OK. So, link time. I’m afraid they are all videos, so to those who still use dialup modems, um, sorry.
Perhaps I should burn a CD, the best of TMX’s hard disk…

Anyway.

Heath Robinson contraptions (or, as they are more commonly known, Rube Goldberg devices) are like my domination plans. Exceedingly long, elaborate, and complex proceedure, resulting in something simple.

To start off with something everyone will recognise (Of the UK readership, anyway). Who remembers this advert from a while ago?

This link is from a japanese TV show called Pitagora_Suicchi. As cool as it would be to have an entire TV show made up of these, they only have them at the beginning and the end of the commercials.

This link, and this one are made virtually, using the Half Life 2 physics engine.

Maybe a few of these could have changed the results of the last US election. It certainly looks a little more reliable at first glance, anyway…

A couple more just for you to watch.

These are just the better ones I’ve found, though if you have time to waste, then here are the google video links and the youtube links.

Thanks to Phil, BTFP, ElectricHamster, Pandilex and whoever else found some of these links on the DCS forums (though I doubt any of them ever read this).

I’ve changed webhost providers too, so over the next month or so, there will be up to 48 hours of downtime for the entire omega.org.uk domain.
Hopefully you can last that long without my blog :)

    They have WAY too much time on their hands…
