Kinetic Sculptures by Reuben Margolin

The music and kinetic sculpture combine to make this an interesting video. Reuben Margolin creates moving sculpture, and this "Magic Carpet" is 25 square meters with more than 50,000 pieces. This sculpture shows three characterisitics of a wave -- Wavelength, Amplitude and Frequesncy.



By looking at the next video, you'll see how the sculpture uses one motor to create the effect, but this time with 612 soda pop bottles.



Check out his other sculptures on YouTube!

The Dog Ate My ...

...Passport.
17 year old Jon Meier missed out on his Spanish class trip to Peru because some of the numbers on his passport were unreadable. Airport Security was unmoved by his reason for the damaged document. The family's one year old golden retriever, Sunshine, had apparently been chewing on it. To bad Sunshine didn't prefer shoes. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31663499/ns/travel-news/

...Checks.
Kristin Banfield is in a little trouble for paying her bills from her ex-hubby's account. But she does have a good reason, Her dog ate her checks. So of course she had to use her ex's account to get the bills paid. The cops aren't buying it though. She's under investigation for identity theft and forgery.

Pepsi fun

It's amazing to me the creative ways ad agencies get me to drink Pepsi.

I am Spartacus.



Grasshopper, when you can take the Pepsi from my hand...



Japan Soccer Loss



Exotic destinations, creative situations, and a good old Pepsi.
