Delicious upgrades.  Norm magnified eye and box hat may serve me well.  I hope this new parts helps with making your object building life easier!  I love how everyone comes up and talks to you Will.  Brad touches the back of his neck 6-8 times, Alex was spinning in his chair at some point and Drew was eating some noodles.
 
EDIT: Oh man, now I have to make a nut slot photoshop, GEEZ


 The perfect nutslot

Damn that time-lapse music is addicting. Also how awesome is Will's shirt. I love how it's not a super tacky video game shirt.

I feel your pain Will, tried to fix my headphones once and knocked the solder iron off my desk to the side of my foot.

All the cutting, soldering, and finicking would make me very uncomfortable. It seems I've been spoiled by IKEA simplicity.

Something about seeing a man put a soldering iron in his mouth makes me cringe... 
 
Also, why does Will have a frickin'  jumbo monitor while Norm has a puny laptop screen?

@AnoidDroid: I noticed that right away too. That monitor is huge. Is it a 30"?

Ah! A wild Brad appears! And oh no, a wild Drew appears! 
 
It's fun seeing the maker bot grow up right in front of me. :P

And build replicas of all the Whiskey Media people (at first).

I've always loved that about Brad. I do something similar so it's really funny to watch from a third-person perspective. That, and Alex fiddling  in his chair like a madman.

everyone looks so busy in fast mode.

You guys are crazy
Aquavelvamanon Sept. 6, 2010 at 3:43 a.m.
So will all of the new mystery objects be that much larger or is it just the test-cube that got a size upgrade?
Landmineon Sept. 6, 2010 at 4:44 a.m.
Nut slot. 
 
Perfect.
TimBrouunon Sept. 6, 2010 at 4:53 a.m.
Hey Will, any chance of getting the raw video of this posted?
Sideburnon Sept. 6, 2010 at 5:33 a.m.
How long did you guys spend in total!

There is something incredibly endearing seeing the eccentricities of the Whiskey crew when they talk (hand behind Brad's head, hand behind Norm's back) exaggerated when put to hyper-speed.

I can see ballons in the backround, who had a birthday? 
 
 
And before I forget, nut slot.
