Cool-looking "Buddha Machine"
Merlin Mann | Feb 11 2007
I've been hearing about the $25 Buddha Machine for a while (I recall Leo mentioning it once) and was tempted enough to go ahead and order my own today over on Forced Exposure (probably not least because of the amazing exploded drawing they use as a logo). From the FAQ (which comes from a Pop Matters review):
Sean notes that the manufacturers will also let you download uncompressed versions of the 9 included drones for free, so you could presumably emulate some of the functionality on your iPod. Friendly. Anybody out there got one of these? How you enjoying it? 38 Comments

Contemplating the Buddha Machine sends me into an existential tailspin. What would HH say? Is this spiritual materialism? or is it more like a High Lama crashing a sports car into a Joke shop? Will a live Buddha Machine's disassembly reveal its true Buddha nature? (Webcast anyone?) If you see Buddha on the road, kill it.... but what do you do with this? Despite the artistic brilliance of the effort I still can't shell out $25 for the Machine....$12.50 maybe.... but I'm still considering the t-shirt. Nomadman » POSTED IN:
