Leaf Blower + Internet = Hovercraft
What happens when nerds have too much time on their hands? They Google random things like how to make a hovercraft. Add a leaf blower, initiative, and some other junk into the mix, and you get what Dean, Carney and Peter made below.
We tested their weekend creation on MindComet's back patio. Indoors, it sounded like a vacuum-powered vuvuzela, but outdoors, it was a lot of fun. They claim to have lifted three grown men!
Stephanie also took it for a whirl but found herself on a bit of a slope...
Is this the future of electric transportation? Maybe not, but over lunch, I caught them chatting about their next design, so watch out for version two!

Jeremy Soothes the Soul with Doug on Spoons
It's Friday - and I bet you've had a tough week. You deserve a break!
Sit back, relax, and let our very own Jeremy Hilton serenade you with an old American Classic: Country Roads by John Denver. Don't miss Doug's solo on the spoons!

Best MindComet Prank Ever?
If you follow us on Twitter, then you might already know about our bicycle gang. Yep, that's right, we've got a full-fledged biker gang in the office.
With all of these bicycles around, it's like they're begging for mischief. One creative team member hatched one heck of a prank on poor James. It's amazing what you can do with a couple of zip ties - but it's a good thing that James bought one of those fancy super-light bikes!
He walked by it a few times, deep in thought, fully-focused and on-task. But then he found it. You could hear his giggles throughout the office. Check out his reaction below.
And another pic for good measure... poor bike!

All Carney Wanted for his Birthday…
...was a Pie in the Face!
I've never seen someone so excited to be slammed in the face with the whipped topping.
But it's not so fun when it's time to clean up... and maybe that's why he was so brutal with this guy.

Our Most Brutal Pie In The Face Yet!
You can't run, you can't hide, the Wheel of Destiny will find you...
PS: It's all fun and games until you have to smell rotting whipped cream in your nose for the rest of the day! Eww!
