Sunday Funnies - Dwarf On A Pig, Hobbit Office, & the Most Useful Item

Over on the Christopher Winchester (The Esgaroth Three) YouTube channel, there is a recently uploaded music video titled "Dwarf On A Pig (Rather Have A Warg) - Hobbit spoof comedy song - BOFA funny."  Enjoy.

Also, in case you missed it last weekend, when Martin Freeman was doing SNL they had a digital short on a mashup of The Hobbit and The Office.  Enjoy.

Finally, over on Cracked, there is an animated feature somewhat erroneously titled "The Most Underappreciated Weapon in Video Games."  Enjoy that here.

Saturday Crowdfunding Roundup - Rum & Bones, Pizza Bed, & The Folio 1E Module

The Rum & Bones Kickstarter project by CoolMiniOrNot is already extremely well funded and they've had plenty of success in the past, including Zombicide in 2012.  Check out more here.

Also, the Pizza Bed Kickstarter project by Claire Manganiello looks very realistic but it's struggling with the funding.  See more here.

Finally, I've mentioned a project in the last week in passing a couple of time but to give it a bit more focus, the artwork and direction of The Folio 1E Module Relaunch! by Scott Taylor is well on its way to funding with a couple week left in the campaign.  Take a look and back this one here.

Tech Tuesday - LEGO, Creatures, & Robotics

Some of the fascinating uses of LEGO (so-called) toy products have come in areas of robotics, particularly when interfacing with living creatures.  On the simple side, Design Boom informed us of how a tortoise pet owner helped their little loved on regain his mobility with use of a LEGO wheelchair here.

Also, on Science Alert, "Scientists have put a worm’s brain into a Lego robot’s body - and it works" here.  I hope it doesn't use its new powers for evil.

Finally, if you are predisposed to do so, oregonstate.edu has a PDF on the "Steps to starting a LEGO robotics program" here.
