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.
Take it out behind the wood shed and drop it in the Machine. It'll come out just like the rest; perfectly formed to conform. That's the way we do it around here...working so hard to be like all the rest.
My Lego hobby isn’t my work, but sometimes there are area’s where they come together.
I work as a director for a Dutch company in the field of engineering plastics and elastomers, and as it happens another known Lego builder is on my team as well: Jaap Kroon, mostly know as TechnicJaap, is designing all kinds of technical wizardry during weekdays, but when I came with the idea to decorate my office with some of our actual machinery replicated in Lego, he was on board quickly.
We chose two machines we operate in our factory, and both of us designed and created the replicas in 1:13, conveniently easy then to use them as load for my Lego trucks as well.
Jaap build a Covestro Baule polyurethane casting machine. We operate a couple of these to produce polyurethane parts for use in for example offshore and energy markets.
I then build a Hartford LG1000 CNC milling machine. We run a couple of machines like this as well, to produce special parts for high-tech applications worldwide.
The machines can be put on a dropdeck trailer with matching Peterbilt truck. A nice eye catcher in the office, and always a cool conversation piece!

A rope making machine at the Scottish Maritime Museum, Irvine.
I shot this to capture the intricate details and textures of this machine. I wanted to illustrate the massive bulk of this old tool.
Alias: Green Machine
Real name: Arthur Simmons
Allegiance: Hero
Strengths: annoyingly tenacious, can think of one-liners on the spot, has a bike
Weaknesses: weak, out of shape, no real powers, trips over his cape
Bio: Just some teenage weeb who watched one too many action-hero movie. He rides around on his bike blasting "Deja Vu" from his iPod, searching for people to help. More often than not, he ends up creating more trouble, and an actual superhero has to rescue him.
The poor, forgotten third member of the trio of Martian machines from H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, the Embankment Machine is a digging and excavation automaton built by the Martians and used to shore up the walls of their pit beachhead.
It doesn't get much of a description in the novel, so I've used my imagination.
