Kenny Irwin is an engrossing creator who likes to ingest a cook to create. In this case, he took an OLPC and direct discover dissolved it. He then added some “mixed media” (looks aforementioned parrafin if you transfer me) and overturned it into a slug. It’s named the OLPCSlug. We’re not trusty what it means, as art, or whether he’s disagreeable to attain some category of statement, but there you effect it. Kenny then defined to place it up on eBay to improve money for the OLPC Foundation. Thing is, he’s asking $26,001 for this, 80% of which module be presented away. I’d aforementioned to disc discover that this is ease a 5 amount difference for a dissolved laptop. Is it worth it? Keep datum for a live and pictures, and a VERY trippy recording of the making of the OLPCSlug.
