false 2226728 1 Who says office cubicles need to be dreary? In this book, author Kaden Harris (creator of www.eccentricgenius.caEccentric Genius) introduces aspiring and die-hard Makers to a highly entertaining parallel universe of surreal office-based projects that are sure to pique the curiosity of even the most jaded office mates.<br /> <br /> From desktop guillotines and crossbows to mood-enhancing effects and music makers, each project presents a different set of challenges and opens new avenues of Maker lore. There's a strong emphasis on the basic mechanical theories and principles of the devices presented in the book, as well as the fabrication techniques you need to use. But this is far more than a book of project "how-tos". <em>Eccentric Cubicle</em> offers oblique industrial design and fabrication philosophies, countless cultural reference points, and innumerable bad puns.<br /> <br /> This book is a dream come true for you office-bound souls who are tech DIY enthusiasts, hobbyist engineers/designers, and Makers at heart. Imagine having your cubicle sport projects such as: <ul> <li>A mechanical golfer</li> <li>Lucid dreaming induction device</li> <li>USB-powered bubble blower</li> <li>Fog machine</li> <li>A desktop guillotine</li> <li>And a whole lot more</li> </ul> In the <em>Eccentric Cubicle</em>, Harris starts with classic, time-honored principals, then modernizes and augments his designs with performance enhancements and updated feature sets -- all while precariously balancing form, function, and oddness. Scavenging and repurposing materials and components at every opportunity, he challenges and inspires you to modify and adapt the projects and designs to meet your own scale, performance, and aesthetic requirements.<br /> <br /> Bring character and life to your office desktop with <em>Eccentric Cubicle</em>! 2232525 29 10 2007 Eccentric Cubicle (Make: Projects) total:4|5:3|3:1| 4 18 22 2 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 5 0 false Mon Aug 24 08:29:15 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 08:30:22 -0700 2009 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 3 0 false Sat Jun 21 21:54:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 21 21:55:02 -0700 2008 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Tue Sep 01 17:45:15 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 17:45:15 -0700 2009 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Fri May 08 16:15:54 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 21:23:20 -0700 2009 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Wed May 06 07:43:31 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 07:43:31 -0700 2009 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Mon May 04 08:45:51 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 08:45:51 -0700 2009 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 5 0 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Feb 28 09:28:46 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 09:53:00 -0800 2009 20+ 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Tue Feb 10 04:00:42 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 04:00:42 -0800 2009 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Sun Feb 08 09:12:08 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 09:12:08 -0800 2009 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Sat Feb 07 18:26:11 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 18:26:11 -0800 2009 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Fri Dec 19 15:23:37 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 19 15:23:41 -0800 2008 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Sat Nov 22 19:49:22 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 21:17:50 -0800 2008 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Thu Oct 16 15:02:47 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 15:02:50 -0700 2008 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Tue Sep 09 00:14:35 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 00:14:35 -0700 2008 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Fri Jun 27 14:58:51 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 14:58:51 -0700 2008 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Thu May 01 10:52:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 01 10:52:00 -0700 2008 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Tue Feb 19 10:15:33 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 19 10:15:33 -0800 2008 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 5 0 true Sun Feb 17 22:09:25 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 17 22:09:25 -0800 2008 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Thu Feb 14 13:53:18 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 14:08:34 -0800 2008 2226728 0596510543 9780596510541 4 2 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2226728.Eccentric_Cubicle 0 0 false Mon Jan 21 19:16:14 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 19:16:14 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2226728
