MIT student Charles Guan has created a mini go-kart called Chibikart that is basically like a real-life version of a Mario Kart vehicle. According to Charles, the entire project cost about $1750 to make and with some electrical knowledge, you too can build one. Yeah, ok!

MIT’s Media Lab needed a logo and they asked E Roon Kang and Richard The to come up with a logo which they could then drop into a mathematical algorithm to automatically generate up to 40,000 logo combinations, each unique but still visually recognizable as MIT’s Media Lab. The idea is just wonderful and I’d [...]
