DIY Lego Printer mark of a fanboy (http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2010/06/diy_lego_printer_mark_of_a_fanboy.html)

How do you know that you are head over heels in love with this toy called Lego? Well, when you're fanatical enough to come up with a printer made out of Lego, of course! Taking hours to construct, this Lego printer churns out a solitary page after a full minute - definitely not something you would want to have at home when hard pressed to roll out a bunch of documents for the office the next day. The Lego printer is versatile enough to function in a bi-directional method, allowing it to render rows of output both forwards and backwards. Not something you would see from Canon or Epson anytime soon, eh?

Next, a Lego CNC router........

If I had put that printer together, instead of the guy sitting on top of the pen holder by himself bobbing up and down, I'd put a Lego chick in a doggy style position and have the guy boink her. Now that would be cool, LOL. LEGO Porn.

BTW, nice old school Mac there...........
