Miguel Rivera, a systems administrator at a U.S. Air Force base in Southwest Asia, builds robots and vehicles from the base's trashed hard drives:
"The overall concept was to make something out of just hard drive parts and pieces," says Rivera. "I wanted it to look solid and heavy so I leaned towards just using metal -- no plastic or gluing things together."

Way cool!
I remember seeing garden art with the flowers entirely made using discarded plastic bottles. Can't remember where. Was that also on your blog?
Found it!

nice find, arvind!
Wow ... they kind of look like real-life transformers. I'm now squinting at the motorbike trying to work out how it was put together.
Looks like we now know where those classified military hard drives that turned up missing went. ;)
