[rmunroe] of the notorious xkcd made his own ball pit. I’m now completely, totally jealous.
[-] sent in this Commadore 64 Guitar Hero project.
[Jock] sent in this uh, marriage of a Wiimote and a rocking horse. It’s actually a great idea if you’ve got a kid and some duct tape handy.
[warthox] sent in this XBox 360 tilt controller project. These have been popping up a bit, but you might like this one. The board is all surface mount, and was routed to make the prototype. I kind-of like the surface pads that were used to mount the wires to avoid doing thru hole mounts.
We’ve been digging the EeePC – [Paul] wrote up his tricks to get Ubuntu working on the thing.
[Jock] sent in this huge set of music hacks. Mostly circuit bent, but they make for interesting reading.
that ball pit is awesome. I’m looking forward to his scalable method of ball cleaning… lol
if only it weren’t so damn expensive
What’s the English word worse then “Retarded”?
That word would be “vonskippy”
The word you’re looking for may be ‘genius’. I just looked into the prices for ball-pit-balls myself. If I can find any good ones, I’ll most likely have my very own mini-ball-pit myself by next week.
mcdonald’s heist.
how do you steal 400 cubic feet of balls in under three and a half minutes?
“we don’t have the manpower.”
“can’t be done.”
“is that a cheezburger at the bottom?”
the little ninja guy is the only way. everybody else exceeds the height limit. [fast forward] they caught us. damn. jk roflmao we can has balls! [fast forward] woohoo! heehee! yay! and ronda mcdonald chooses me!
awesome ball pit is awesome.
i’d love to see my plus-sized cat figure that one out…
Nice to see another group of people with a ball pit. Six months ago, some of of us at EA Tiburon pooled upwards of $2,000 to buy around 170 packs of 100 balls, selling out every Toys-R-Us in the area every week for around four weeks. The end result was turning a table-enclosed space in one of our conference rooms into a ball pit.

Dude, how could you mis-spell Commodore? :-P
“It’s actually a great idea if you’ve got a kid and some duct tape handy.”
There are so many places I could use this line, I don’t know where to begin :-)
thats nothing, My burning man camp (Flight To Mars) has had a towable ballpit for years now. It’s fully enclosed on a 4×8 trailer.
