Claude Shannon Meets Rube Goldberg

Nikki at FizzPop gave me a heads-up on this video:  a Rube Goldberg device activating a Useless Machine.  I bet Shannon and Goldberg approve!

The Most Useless App Ever!

For a mere 99 cents you too can have a virtual Useless Machine with this  iPhone app .  I’m not endorsing nor am I affiliated with this.  Plus, I don’t own an iPhone so I haven’t tried it out, either.  If anyone out there has tried this app I’d really like to hear what your thoughts are.

Hey Steve Jobs, can you send me an iPhone so I can try out the Useless Machine app?  I’ll trade you a Useless Executive Toy…
