Pothole sticker - A large sticker of a pothole was laid on the road creating the illusion of real pothole! :)
Drivers would see it and slow down to avoid the jerk to their car but would feel nothing!
The message “Feels like Pioneer Suspension” was painted few meters ahead! Pretty cool!
It’s so easy to meet new people on Social Spark… A met a blogger called Alex Barger just a few days ago, he runs a great little blog over at http://www.cruzinthegalaxie.com/.
He’s building a resources page on robotics kits (something I love) over here.
He doesn’t sell any robot kits at the moment. Instead he is starting to put together info on each of the main components. Everything from the brain, which is a programmable micro controller, to the servos that control the movement. He’s also linking to all the places that he got it from so you won’t need to look far!
I have played around with all kinds of robots, from my cybot to my viper to my custom-build-ultra-mega-cool-awesome-friendly-armed-to-the-teeth-nuclear-powered-bowling-ball with the ability to play mp48s…
Check it out, have a look at his robotics kits and have fun!
Well, artist Erik Nordenankar from Sweden has created the biggest drawing in the world. He got a briefcase with a GPS device, and used DHL to fly it around the world, creating a self-portrait from it’s path. It went through 62 countries, and the route was 110,664 kilometers long (68,763 miles). The whole thing took 55 days.
Here’s the guy’s website:

Here’s a picture of the portrait:
Here’s a picture of the briefcase:
Here’s the instructions he gave to DHL (zoomed out a lot, you can download a pdf of the full size thing on the guy’s site):
Here’s a video:
I guess there’s not really any way to confirm that it’s really the biggest drawing in the world though. It really depends on how you define a drawing. He obviously worked closely with DHL on this, as you can see in the video, so that the package remained safe through the whole thing.
