On The Road to Maker Faire Challenge, Quite Literally

On The Road to Maker Faire Challenge, Quite Literally:

Inspired by gypsy wagons, with a dash of Oregon Trail pioneering, the maker known as Paleotool has submitted “The Vardo” wagon to the Road to Maker Faire Challenge, presented by Esurance. One lucky maker will win $2,000 to bring themselves and their awesome project to Maker Faire Bay Area next month. Paleotool took the title of this challenge to its very literal logical conclusion, proposing a tow-hitched trailer journey to the Bay Area – hah! As a fan of alternative habitats, I’m impressed not only with the build quality, but by how expansive the interior is, with a bed, stove, and plenty of storage space for short-term living.
The winner of the Challenge will be announced very soon, but there’s still time to apply – the deadline is April 5th, so apply now for your chance to win $2K!

Jun Mitani’s Computer-Designed Origami:

I enjoyed this interview with Jun Mitani on the Creators Project. Mitani is an associate professor of Computer Science at the University of Tsukuba, and creates incredible origami forms with the help of algorithms and custom software. See his Flickr photostream for more pictures of his work.
