1. A new cooler to hold my peanut butter sandwich and diet coke for lunch:
Available here.
2. A cell phone for Whimzy so we can text back and forth.
Seen here.
3. Maybe a new poster:
4. Or maybe something to help Nate with his poetry:
Well, maybe that doesn't help too much. Especially since he doesn't eat bacon.
5. My most wanted thing (if Steve can help me learn how to use it) is the MakerBot Replicator. A real - life 3D printer. You send it the instructions from your computer and it builds a 3D object for you out of plastic.
$1749 (plus $249 if you want to print in 2 colors). On the website you can buy extra spools of filament in magenta, yellow, nuclear green, and orange if you get tired of the black and white. It's an open source device, so you can submit any designs you create and other people can download the code and build them for free. The designs are available at Thingiverse and include
the Inception top
Gargoyles or other figures for
your D & D games
everyone loves bunnies
and windup walker bots.
It will make anything up to the size of a loaf of bread. If you want something bigger, you just have to build it in smaller pieces and attach the pieces together. If I start now, I could make everybody's Christmas gift this year. Well worth the money, don't you think?
