HARDWARE

Martin from the band Wintergatan became a massive YouTube sensation with his hand-built marble machine instrument. Now, with the help of 3D printers, CAD, automated wood cutting machinery, and some brilliant friends, he is building a new version that will be “less shitty” and totally portable for touring.

"Fazed" turns 187

Merriam-Webster now have a feature to look at what new words were coined (or first use recorded) by year. "Hashtag" turns 10 this year... "netbook" is 10 too, but "laptop" is already 33. "Drinking game" is 400. Wonder who coined that one?
