Flood Madness threw us off our usual schedule for a few weeks, but we're back just in time to celebrate the fourth anniversary of The Awesome Foundation, complete with our very first dinosaur-themed submission to crack Top4!
So without further ado, here are our Top4 Finalists and Honourable Mentions for this month, in no particular order:
Top4 Finalists
- Pterodactyl HD by Jason Bedard: "The idea is to make a model pterodactyl with embedded HD video camera fly continuously back and forth overhead of a busy public event, wirelessly broadcasting all that it sees with its fearsome dino-birdie eyes."
- Zine Machine by Jeffery Wood: "Zine Machine is a vending machine that dispenses 'zines' (small magazines)."
