I’ve seen this home around forever, but don’t think I’ve blogged it here. It’s really cool though; worth a post for sure.
Now, can you guess what it does, without reading further? Of course, if you’ve seen this you’d know, so I’m talking to the folks who’ve missed this sweet house.

Sol Fest XII is happening real soon; as in three days from now (August 18-19). I meant to plug it sooner — but darn it, I’m not going this year so I forgot.
