I’m not usually a fan of embedding video and it used to be so bloody hard that I never bothered with it but when I stopped by Gizmodo to see what kind of weirdness they had found, I couldn’t resist sharing this with everyone. Here’s an excerpt from the Gizmodo article:

Is there no limit to what you can make with Lego? Kyle Yeats and his friends at UC Berkeley put together this toilet paper folder out of Lego Mindstorms and a bit of scrap metal.

Hmmm, and I thought building a big old Lego wall with a bunch of hand cranked gears was cool way back in the sixties. I even built an early version of a RV back then—a castle with wheels. Adding the moat was the hard part. Kept getting the floor wet and the wheels would fall off. So thanks to Antonio Perez of SKaRCHa for the wonderfully simple WPvideo plugin for making the embedding of this video possible, to Byron Adams for the Translator extension for Firefox that made it so much easier to read Antonio’s blog and to Gizmodo for just being there.
