It’s course preparation time again. For those of you teaching production or scheduling, if you are looking for a graphic to show the need for split-second planning in certain production processes, I highly recommend the Blue Ball Machine. Hypnotic!
From Wired Magazine:
A Rube Goldberg machine made of animated tiles, with hundreds of blue balls moving in time to music from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.
Max [of http://www.ytmnd.com]says: This is our most viewed title ever. It was created by the Web site Something Awful – they had 100 people make 1-inch tiles, and the only rule was that a ball had to enter at a certain place and exit at another. It came out awesome.
Hey, that’s a fantastic page! Thank you for linking to it here because I never would have found it on my own. It really is hypnotic… It was a good 10 minutes before I was able to peel myself away from the site the first time I saw it!!
