Bill Durovchic’s hand-cranked machine is a wonder of indulgence: it performs no function other than to increase entropy in the universe. It’s $310, and he has many more strange devices just like it.

    You’d think someone who makes such interesting and attractive stuff would have a website that doesn’t make me want to gouge my eyes out.

    Bill Durovchic was at the annual Smithsonian Craft Show last weekend. The REALLY neat thing about that hand-cranked machine pictured above is that all the gears are mounted on magnets so you can shift them around and create new patterns.
