RSSLast night, a bunch of the MAKE team went to San Francisco to put on a little Maker Faire preview for attendees of the Google I/O conference at the Mascone Center. Besides MAKE/Make: Online, and Maker Shed, there were folks there from adafruit industries, Instructables, Evil Mad Scientist Labs, Sternlabs, Cyclcide, and more. We had a good time, met some interesting people, and convinced (hopefully) a bunch of them to join us for the Faire this weekend.
Here is one of the cool devices demoed at the Google I/O Conference Sandbox, It's a dynamic Lego Bar Chart built using the Lego Mindstorms NXT System.
I'd love to see this hooked up to windows media player to act as an equaliser visualisation. Good use of the Mindstorms kit :D

I really would like to refrain from making a comment about it looking phallic;
Too late!
They could have at least used a different color.

It's muppet colored, pervert...
The problem with this is that if I built something I'd want to keep it, and keep on developing, and mindstorms is too expensive.
