Rube Goldberg Dashboard

I always wanted to create a functioning Rube Goldberg web page. Here’s a sketch I created while waiting for a CD to burn.

    How did you create this exact replica of “the tool?”

    Wait to you see the HTML version. I add a little each day.

    This looks like the next Playstation controller, or the next World of Warcraft Keyboard, or both!
    Dude, how long should it take to burn a frickin CD, not even a DVD!
    Was this one of those old 12 inch CD’s ??? Did you actually carve a song out of a piece of vinyl?!?! but i digress

    I really like it, but I see a fatal flaw: radio buttons lack the requisite velocity to cause a fly-out menu to drop down, thus activating subsequent jquery modal overlays and form fields. Instead, use a Flash scrollbar with the “Get URL” command to activate three check boxes. The force three check boxes will generate is much greater than one radio button. (By the way, if three check boxes won’t do it, use a blink tag around them.)

    What a great suggestion Mike. I was think I should reload the vapor condensers in order to provide maximum thrust to my rotary evaporators that way I can stabilize the antilepton disruptors with psionic quarantine. I didn’t think to just use the “GET URL” command. What a time saver!
