I just wanted to tell everyone about the start of Rube Goldberg week over at PSPset.com - which is my hobby site giving away free videos for the PSP, iPod and iPhone (and other MP4 players too i guess).

From The Official Site

Rube Goldberg (1883-1970) was a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist, sculptor, and author.

Through his “INVENTIONS”, Rube Goldberg discovered difficult ways to achieve easy results. His cartoons were, as he said, symbols of man’s capacity for exerting maximum effort to accomplish minimal results. Rube believed that there were two ways to do things: the simple way and the hard way, and that a surprisingly number of people preferred doing things the hard way.

Rube’s drawings depict absurdly-connected machines functioning in extremely complex and roundabout ways to produce a simple end result; because of this RUBE GOLDBERG has become associated with any convoluted system of achieving a basic task. Rube’s inventions are a unique commentary on life’s complexities. They provide a humorous diversion into the absurd that lampoons the wonders of technology. Rube’s hilarious send-ups of man’s ingenuity strike a deep and lasting chord with today’s audience through caught in a high-tech revolution are still seeking simplicity.
