What's better than a single machine that dispenses gumballs? A machine that dispenses not one, but 2 types of candy!
Benny clearly agrees... and apparently ate all the candy because both machines are empty
If a neighborhood establishes itself as an art community shouldn't it's entire space, with all of the contents, be art? Including the ATM's??
Here's one of several "enhanced" ATM's located in the Alberta Arts District of Portland, Oregon.
Yah The holo sight attachment isn't the best but it's hard to grip the little thing to sand it or trim it.
This old abandoned '62 Chevy Impala in the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada reminded me of the old Chevy in the Cheech and Chong movie "Up In Smoke." And, with the graffiti on the car that I think says "Love Me", I couldn't resist titling this image "Love Machine."
My custom Ultimate Machine (also known as a useless machine) built using the new Mindstorms EV3. You really have to watch the video to see what it does, otherwise it's just a pretty black box with a switch on it.
Building instructions and the Mindstorms project file can be found on my website: www.truedimensions.com/instructions
The LuuMa EV3 is a bit more elaborate than the typical ultimate machine, featuring 6 different responses for turning the switch off and 2 evasive maneuvers for trying to prevent the switch from being turned on in the first place.
I had a blast building this one, and programming the different responses. Not to mention playing with it once it was complete. I can't wait to put it out at a show and watch people interact with it.
I've been pretty impressed with the EV3, although I have encountered the odd glitch or two with both the hardware and software. Hopefully these get ironed out in future updates.

D18033. With the prospect of a war against Nazi Germany becoming more and more likely during the late 1930s, it was decided that a place of safety needed to be found where the Government and military leaders could carry out their vital tasks in the event of an aerial bombardment.
Storage rooms in a London basement under some Government buildings were therefore hastily converted into office and living accommodation where the Prime Minister and his staff could work in safety. These became known as the Cabinet War Rooms and they are now open to the public as a permanent museum and memorial to wartime leader Winston Churchill.
Amongst the many artefacts on display is this German four rotor Enigma cipher machine.

This is not my usual sort of thing to photograph but last September I had trekked to the head of Loch Tarsan to photograph an old croft (the ruins can be seen in the background) and found this old, rusted piece of equipment. I'm assuming that it is an old agriculture machine but I suppose that it could have been left over from the dam construction (Loch Tarsan is formed by a hydro-dam) or maybe forestry uses.
