I’m going to have to tape up the bridge of my glasses for this one. Instructables.com is so wonderfully nerdy, so powerfully geeky that I am dubbing it “Official Nerd Kingdom.” The brain child (one of many, no doubt) of MIT alumnus and friends, instructables is the ultimate D.I.Y. site, not only in terms of projects but also postings. All you have to do to post an “instructable” is create a free member account. Then you can add your voice to the thousands of people already sharing their great ideas. And, people can easily comment on each other’s postings, offering tips and advice on how to make the instructions clearer and more accessible. Which is all fine and good, but the real awesomeness of the site comes from the hybrid of scientific and mathematical minds creating tactile goods. This results in projects you won’t see anywhere else, like how to make a Boba Fett mask out of cardboard, how to make a magnetic rubix cube with dice, and how to make a Lego cover for your USB thumb drive. Check out two of my favorites below, the dixie cup spherical dodecahedron and the polygon lamp. Aren’t they just beautiful?
