Today I was going to write about the cloud. Not as in cumulous or stratus or cumulonimbus, but as in the cloud of technological services, storage, and processing. I will leave that to a future writing. Why the delay?

Well every once in a while I come across something that totally amazes me and definitively assures me that the ingenuity of a single can both delight, impress, and make one go... what? Wow.

So without further adieu I present a youtube video of one mans incredible Rube Goldberg marble machine.

Some may be bored, but those who have ever tried to build things or work with wood, I think you will enjoy it.

 

Regards

The Geek
