This is just too cool to pass up:
"For years I've been saving the styrofoam packing that protects the new devices that arrive in our American household. A year ago I saw pictures of two styrofoam robots created by Michael Salter at a museum in North Carolina (before he exhibited one in San Jose this past June). They were stunning. Not only was it art from junk, but it looked easy to do. My son and I could handle this. A recycled styrobot would be the perfect geek dad project.
Check this thing out here. Thanks to
Dan for the heads up.
