			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.dominikaturek.com/angryeaster/">Dominika Turek</a> decided that this Easter, it would be an Angry Easter thanks to some custom DIY-made <em>Angry Birds</em> Easter eggs! Easter is usually a time for faith and chocolate, but these guys make you want to get those piggies good. Dominika smartly also made some pigs to go with the birds she created.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-53408" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/041111_rg_AngryEaster_01.jpg" alt="041111 rg AngryEaster 01" width="600" height="399" title="041111 rg AngryEaster 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-53407"></span>She used Styrofoam eggs, paper, and glue to create her Angry Eggs. She used a decoupage technique that&#8217;s pretty easy to set up, if you want to replicate this. Once you&#8217;ve completed them, after you&#8217;ve shown them around a bit, it&#8217;s time to make the piggies pay!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-53430" title="angry_birds_easter_egg_pigs" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/angry_birds_easter_egg_pigs.jpg" alt="angry birds easter egg pigs" width="600" height="440" /></p>
<p>Of course if you used real eggs instead of Styrofoam eggs, the birds would have cracked the first time they went flying through the air.</p>

The Eggbot can draw on objects with diameters ranging from 1.25 to 4.25 inches, so you can forget about drawing on your head.&#8230;]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories recently introduced their latest non-diabolical creation – the Eggbot. It&#8217;s an &#8220;open source art robot&#8221; that can draw on spherical or ellipsoidal surfaces.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-39104  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/eggbot-kit.jpg" alt="eggbot kit" width="600" height="450" title="eggbot kit photo" /></p>
<p>The Eggbot can draw on objects with diameters ranging from 1.25 to 4.25 inches, so you can forget about drawing on your head. It has two stepping motors – one to rotate the object, and one to rotate the drawing instrument. A servo motor raises and lowers the writing instrument.<span id="more-39103"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-39105  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/eggbot-kit-4.jpg" alt="eggbot kit 4" width="600" height="450" title="eggbot kit 4 photo" /></p>
<p>The chassis is made of fiberglass and is highly adjustable, so it can firmly grip the object that it&#8217;s drawing on. So what can you make with the Eggbot? Things like these!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-39106  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/eggbot-kit-3.jpg" alt="eggbot kit 3" width="600" height="450" title="eggbot kit 3 photo" /></p>
<p>Awesome, eh? Eggbot isn&#8217;t for total newbies though. It requires a couple of basic tools, a couple of hours to build, and you have to know – or learn  – how to use <a href="http://inkscape.org/">Inkscape</a>, an open source vector graphics editor, because that&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll make your drawings. You can pre-order the Eggbot kit at <a href="http://evilmadscience.com/tinykitlist/171-egg-bot">Evil Mad Science</a> for $195 (USD).</p>

<p>I was cruising around checking out the finalists for the Washington Post&#8217;s annual Easter Peeps Diorama competition this morning, and came across this bit of Apple/Peeps humor by Sarah Kohari and Erin Mastrangelo &#8211; it&#8217;s Peep Chromatic.
