Here’s an amplifier, commonly called an amp, and technically, this is a head sitting on top of two speaker cabinets, and if you really want to get into it, each of the two cabinets has 4 12″ speakers in it.
Why is it sort of orange in color? A tip of the hat to Orange of course…
It’s a blender! Not the amazing 3D software known as blender, but the kind you mix drinks in, which is sometimes called a “bar blender.” The one I have is a Vitamix, which is similar to a Blendtec, but without the awesome videos.
Once again this is a “draw it from memory” exercise, as I’m not where the blender is, and to be honest, it’s an object I see everyday and don’t really notice anymore. By that I mean, I’m never really looking at it and thinking about how it looks. I just use it without much thinking.
If you want to know about the 3D software blender, you should talk to knellotron. If you want to know about making smoothies or falafel, you can talk to me.
Here’s my bike. It’s not my bike, but it’s the bike I drew.
I read the Drawing a bike from memory post on Boing Boing and filed it (without looking at any drawings) until I got a chance to pull out the drawing tablet.
After I drew it, I then went back to the post, looked at the attached drawings, and then went over to bikedrawings.tumblr.com and man, mine totally sucks! Well, no, I actually do like mine… but there are some amazing bike drawings over there…
I really enjoy this type of creative challenge, and as always, I need to make more art… or at least, make robots that make art.
Update: Yay! It’s now over at bikedrawings.tumblr.com

The Union of Robots was quite upset over the decision of the new Overlord. Previous Overlords were willing to talk, listen, and negotiate, but this new Overlord would have none of it. The Union of Robots determined that the new Overlord was suffering from a bad circuit and was in need of a reboot.
Sometimes, when a band acts childish or selfish, you try to reason with them, and show them what is really important in life… you can often do this by asking them to make a list with two columns, one listing the things they want, and another listing the things they need.
In most cases, this wants vs. needs list puts things into perspective. (In most cases…)
(And yes, I was totally inspired by the horror business chart.)
