Exploring The Shift
The shift is not a thing. It is the action of discovering Self.

Another entry for the crazy ideas category which features people or projects which are crazy or silly and which are implemented just for the fun of making them.

These two videos are about goldberg machines, which Wikipedia defines as any exceedingly complex apparatus that performs a very simple task in a very indirect and convoluted way. This definition may sort of apply to the first video, while the machines in the second don't even serve a purpose at all, except of course being implmented for the fun of implementing them.

But purpose or not, they are fun to watch and it's a pleasure to marvel at the ingeniuity of the use of a wild variety of household items (which also reminds me of the PEZ videos).

UPDATE: Here is another Goldberg Machine, a pretty big one in fact.
