The Colony makes BoingBoing! Not exactly how I imagined it happening.

This is cool. Never thought of doing this, but it makes sense. If a table you’re sitting at wobbles, rotate it until it doesn’t. This guy even proved it with math!

I found this yesterday, and it’s now on my “I want, I want” list!
