Take a few minutes to check out these bits of
awesome we didn't have the chance to fully cover.
Compatibility: An 8-Bit
Musical
I'm
not one to sing the praises (no pun intended) of musical theatre. It's just not
my thing. That said, even I can appreciate this one. Compatibility is a musical
about an aspiring sci-fi writer who bides his time working at an electronics
repair shop. As geeky as that sounds, the best part of this production is the
fact that it'll have a musical score inspired by music from classic 8-bit video
games. Nice! Compatibility is
currently in Kickstarter mode, but its creators have yet to raise a penny of
its $300 goal. If you want to help this production get off the ground, head on over to its Kickstarter page.
Hands-On With Lego's Upcoming Ultimate Collectors Series
R2-D2
In Friday's installment of GeekBytes, we
mentioned the Lego recently announced a 2100-plus-piece R2-D2 set. Norm over a
Tested had a chance to get a
close-up look at this
sweet-looking Lego kit. Head on over there for plenty of pictures, and try not
to drool on your keyboard.
Make Your Own Tron-Themed Couch
A few weeks ago, we spotted a sofa modeled
after the icon video game Space Invaders. It was impressive and all, but Becky
Stern over at Adafruit may have one-upped it with this sofa that looks like it came
straight out of Tron. The couch has EL wire attached around its edges, and if
you see it in a dark room, you might feel like you've been transported to the
Grid. Visit Adafruit for full
instructions, and check out the sofa on video:
