The Nerd's Eye View

I've always been fascinated by science (I mean for God's sakes look at the banner!). When I discovered Rube Goldberg machines as a child it was an eye opener. Unlike the seamless, sleek polygons of Buck Rogers or Star Trek, these fantastical machines were clunky and organic, born from garages and imagination of a junk man. This is series of Japanese shorts sums up the essence of these machines, and is breathtakingly clever. Much like the amazing Honda commercial came out about two years ago, it fills you with wonder and makes you wish that were YOUR job. Come to think of it, the backgrounds are very similar, it may be the same folks responsible for both!
