So in the middle of June I noticed a bit more activity across the street with the Broadway Subway Project by Emily Carr University. They installed a massive crane back in May and they've now been dropping down some pieces of the first tunnel boring machine for assembly in the excavation by Great Northern Way. According to the Project's website each TBM weighs one million kilograms or the equivalent of 333 elephants. Each machine will also be 6 meters wide and 150 meters long. So they've got lots of work to do before they can actually start tunnelling. To get this shot I was just able to get my lens through some of the security fencing along what was once Thornton Street.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

watch the video

 

see what's inside

 

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.

Obi-Wan: He's more machine now than man; twisted and evil.

 

Well ... slightly twisted anyway.

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.

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.....

Millennium Machine Gun

An ornate, somewhat impractical multi body mauler.

The Bashnag Machine Rifle is a heavily modified Bashnag Auto. It is modified to feed via belt through the top of the slide. Spent shells are ejected through the magazine well and spent belt links are ejected out of the side of the rifle. It was designed to provide a light support weapon. It has a rate of fire of 645 rpm.

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.

Across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

New colour scheme and some tweaks made to my old handling machine design...

El yerno y la nieta de una antigua profesora mía en el instituto. Se sentaron a tomar algo en la misma terraza donde estaba yo con mi familia, cuando vi que sacaron la guitarra pensé en la cámara que llevaba en el bolso para seguir probando el objetivo manual y hacerme más a él, y como mi marido me decía que nunca lo iba a tener más fácil pues me anime a preguntarle a mi antigua profesora si le importaba que les hiciera una foto.

No sólo no le importó, sino que además me dijo que los dos forman un grupo musical, su yerno toca y compone y la nieta canta, una voz preciosa por lo que estoy escuchando en la maqueta que tienen en YouTube y de la que os pongo el enlace. El grupo se llama Acoustic Soul Machine, disfrutad de su música :)
