The Sound Of Floppies
And now, The Sound of Silence as performed by a bunch of disk drives. Music to the ears, isn’t it?

This is a pretty cool concept. To all the people who say Braille printers can’t be made cheaper, I say here, have a real live working Lego Braille printer. Sure, for now it only does the letters a-z, but that’s one amazing start, and one smart kid. Plus, he’s making it open source, which means …
