Had a super wonderful beer session last night on New Year eve … slept about 4am and got kicked outta bed at around 730am. A few rounds of espresso today didn’t help much but since it is a public holiday today … I’ll just go into overdrive mode and try get some stuffs done.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wish everyone a wonderful new year and may tons of fun and happiness decorate our lives! Cheers!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

While we were out shopping a couple of days ago … I picked up 3 packs of those Nano blocks (with pre-determined designs) to add up to those (very few) pieces that came with the Nano block digital camera. I had this idea in mind but I wasn’t sure how many more blocks it will need … and I was hoping the 3 packs will be sufficient. Unfortunately … not! I’ve to go buy another pack soon. These little tiny blocks don’t come cheap! The 3 packs I bought already cost more than half the price of the camera!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 3 packs I bought were of different designs as I wanted a variety of colours (the blocks). Fitzand saw me with the camera and blocks and asked if the could play with them. Of course I let him have some fun with it before I got down to work proper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The lil’ boss … serious at work.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was wondering what he was trying to build and soon I guessed it was a face. There are eyebrows and eyes … but what is he adding on to where the mouth is supposed to be?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Soon I found out what he was building!!! He said ‘the man vomit!’. Oh dear … he has wild ideas!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vomit!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

After some clowning around … I finally got to work on the camera. Inspired by the Lomography Belair and other old folder cameras … I started work on a digital folder camera. Of course it will not fold or collapse!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the first ‘draft’ of the camera. I’ll need to give it some more work later … to make sure the blocks are well fitted and tidy.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m gonna give it as a present to a friend. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Luckily I had enough black blocks to make the ‘bellow’. \ud83d\ude00<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The USB is still accessible and that’s something I remembered to pay attention to. It will be a mess if you have to rip the blocks out just to access the USB!<\/em><\/p>\n

It took me about 30 minutes to get it all done but most of the time were wasted in trying to pry out those little blocks when I made mistakes. Fuzzyeyeball’s fat fingers ain’t really the right ‘tool’ for such job!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Top view. The ‘body’ looks a bit curved … I’ll need to give it some fine tuning soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ran out of blocks! The back is still hollow! Another pack of blocks should do the trick.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ll get it all done and post more photos … after I get some sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
