I designed a beautiful, radical fruit bowl to be laser-cut by Ponoko. Yesterday I also posted it as an Instructable, because of the Epilog Challenge, whose first prize is a laser cutter. Today I get an email:

And there I am on the Instructables home page — for a few minutes. (Click to enlarge.)
Added 8 April: I also got featured on the Ponoko Blog. I’m now designing a slightly more practical version of the bowl, in hopes that maybe I could actually sell a few of them.
Hey, that’s neat! I’ve really been getting into all that rapid-prototyping stuff. My friend James and I are actually building a RepRap for school! Check it out: http://SLCreprap.blogspot.com
