True story. My favorite UPS guy put a package in my hands 10 minutes 
after I posted my reply. Is this the RPi I ordered from Allied 
Electronics 2 1/2 months ago? No, it's the one I ordered in desperation 
2 1/2 days ago from Newark. The thaw is finally reaching the USA. It 
will be interesting to see when Allied finally coughs up the other one. 
I've thought of something I can do with it it too. To their credit, they 
did say there would be a 12-week lead time, so they have two weeks left.

The head of the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms says 3D printing is sadly 
old school. It's just the same old pushing and pulling we've been doing 
forever. He believes we should be inventing self-organizing materials. 
So there! Don't feel guilty for not doing same old same old. Stop being 
a slacker and invent a box of goo that self-organizes into the RPi you 
wished you had. Just be careful it doesn't turn into something you wish 
you didn't have :-)

PS - I see the supercomputer story has now made it to Hackaday. Looking 
at the picture I realized why they did this project. There was this box 
of Lego, see, and ....
