Watch an Apple Engineer Recreate a 2,000-Year-Old Computer Using Legos | Co.Design
"Here's a brand new stop-motion video showing the device's inner workings -- and an interview with its creator, Andrew Carol. Remember that old commercial about "Zack, the Lego maniac"? Well, Zack ain't got nothing on Andrew Carol. When Carol's not working on improving the finer points of OS X as a software engineer at Apple, he's hard at work building analog computers -- like the Babbage difference engine -- entirely out of Legos."
