"The Washing Machine" is one of the many falls of "The Fairy Pools" in Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye. It is hardly surprising that these falls are so popular with tourists as they are spectacular and the mountain waters are coloured blue/green.
Snapped for Smile on Saturday “timepieces” theme. Well, I think a camera is a time machine in that it preserves a moment in time for posterity or until I hit the delete button.
I wanted to see a new waterfall today and it has got to where I have to drive over a 100 miles to do that as of lately. So I decided to check out Machine Falls in Tennesee because I have had several people tell me how awesome it was. They were not kidding especially with the icicles there. However if visiting you will probably have to wade across the creek to get to the easier access. And folks wonder why I hike in shorts and flip flops.....
Spent this Labor Day morning at the Idaho State Fair....and of course packed the camera around, trying very hard to get interesting shots or at least something different.....so here it is....what do you all think...
A commissioned model to build a more movie-accurate model than the CUUSOO set. It has functioning doors and seats two minifigs...or a minifig and a dog ;)
Yah The holo sight attachment isn't the best but it's hard to grip the little thing to sand it or trim it.
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
Another name released for publication. And another one...
The machine takes them systematically, one by one.
And the machine has no feelings. It doesn’t care.
As long as the gears keep grinding,
keep rolling.
But every machine has its operator,
the one who pulls the levers, directs it, and decides what it will do
and how it will function.
And I, just a small cog,
am waiting.
For my turn.
Dans la machine
Un autre nom autorisé à la publication. Et encore un autre...
La machine les prend systématiquement, un par un.
Et la machine n’a pas de sentiments. Elle s’en fiche.
Tant que les rouages continuent de moudre,
continuent de tourner.
Mais chaque machine a son opérateur,
celui qui tire les leviers, la dirige et décide ce qu’elle fera
et comment elle fonctionnera.
Et moi, juste un petit rouage,
j’attends.
Mon tour.

As all of you have been loving the Arcade machines, here is a shot of all those I've made so far.
This has been a long running project. And it's important to say that while these are all my creations, there was a lot of inspiration from many other talented builders. There's really only so many ways you can build these at minifig scale. For instance; I didn't come up with the idea of the upside down slope for the skeeball machine, that was inspired by a talented build on LEGO Ideas (in review atm) And I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if there's an identical claw machine out there (how many ways can you do a box, windows and claw at top?) We but stand on the backs of giants.
Next step for this project is a pinball machine, and then a range of stickers for the cabinets (yes, those are my illustrations, and making them work at this scale is one of the challenges) And then a larger building to bring them together. Not sure what that last will look like, but not Flynn's. Something else, and suggestions are welcome.
Obi-Wan: He's more machine now than man; twisted and evil.
Well ... slightly twisted anyway.
Strobist: Two umbrellas behind me (I'm the subject today) left and right, pointed straight down. Thaz it. Both strobes triggered wirelessly.
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.
