RSSCylon coffee maker -- Make your own Cylon using open source hardware...
DVICE, SCIFI.COM & MAKE are having a "Make a Cylon" contest - Cylons Tricia Helfer (Number Six) and Grace Park (Boomer) will judge - you can build a physical Cylon any way you wish but we also have a Cylon version of the open source hardware kit called the miniPOV - used to spell words in the air, brain machines and now enemy of the Twelve Colonies. More "Cylon mania" @ Wired too.
Here's a sneak peak at what Collin is working on...

Nice build!
It makes me think of what would happen if Tom Servo and a Cylon had a baby!

Now you should make a toaster to go with it. LOL

FYI - there's a vid up as well:

yeah my brother suggested a toaster as well, had a hard time finding a good one, only saw cheap new ones that would require a ton of 'framing' to make the visor look nice.
PS - I'm also working on a stove cleaning project :)

@whperreault - you beat me to it. All you need is a cylon light on a nice retro-looking chrome toaster and you're in business.
