This seems like a great idea all by itself — but I seem to remember, several weeks ago, a hack someone did which allowed scanning of 8mm and Super8 film for conversion to DVD.

Blending these two projects together, would it be possible to have an automated, frame-by-frame, ultra-high-resolution movie film scanner? Of course, if so, it would yield scans which would be much higher resolution than the original 8mm or Super8 film, but I like the idea of scanning those images so tightly that even the individual film grains are scanned…..

Legos rock!

It’s amazing the variety of projects you can build with legos, from microscopes to scanners to printers to tasers.

Tasers being a wip. ;-)

i think a good hackit would be coming up with the most original hack involving legos or duplos, with a limit restriction to what most people would reasonably have (to keep someone from being a dumbass like Apostrophe Nazi by submitting “build a house out of mindstorms” or something of a similar scale)

i actually think i’m going to suggest that to will and see what he thinks

No really. Every time you abuse an apostrophe, Jesus kills a kitten.

elomis: I think you mean “every time you put an apostrophe where it isnt meant to go, jesus kill’s a kitten”(sic)

Keeping with the off-topic flavour, would someone tell the guys who made this to please, for the love of humanity and all that’s sacred, get a captcha to avoid endless pages of “hmm that’s quite interesting and by the way get cheap cialis here”.

I like the hack though.
