Checking out the Brain Machine

Mitch Altman, the genius behind the universal remote control (which can be hilarious when put in the wrong hands), has developed a new product meant to help you trip out and hallucinate in the comfort of your own home.

Here in the upper level of the Austin Convention Center inside the Make booth, Mitch explains how to put together the Brain Machine, a contraption that didn't really give me any hallucinations, but I'm sure I looked wacky to passersby. Unfortunately, all I experienced were flashing red lights and an annoying drone in my ears. Sort of like what a fly stuck in the punch bowl might have experienced at the Google party.

Regardless, of all of the booths in the trade show area, the attendees in the Make booth seemed to be sporting the widest smiles. Maybe they had come prepared for the Brain Machine. -- Tony Pierce
