Machine Thinking

Machine Thinking pal Eddie Codel was camera dude for BoingBoingtv’s episode filmed at the Long Now Foundation’s museum for the first ever Mechcanicrawl. Part One of this series covers the 10,000 year clock the Long Now Foundation is building to be squirreled away into a remote mountain.

Watch carefully at 2:14 at the video - yours truly makes a cameo appearance.

Del’s “Nutty Device” does absolutely nothing except amaze. Built with only wood and glue (including all the gears and chains) he has managed to incorporate a bewildering number of mechanisms and types of motion. Oh yeah, and it’s modular so he can take whole chunks off at once.
