I've been using this app off and on for the past year with my seven year old. He likes it and is able to use it himself with our iPad Pro. It identifies the bricks pretty well but it's not perfect. We've been able to make a number of things but it does give you builds that you cannot make.

Ask HN: Connecting old LCD's together to create giant scrolling display

Posted by toasterweasel on Friday April 13, 2012 @09:29AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I work for a computer repair shop and we have at least 20 working LCD panels that are just sitting around. They vary in size from 13" to 17". Is there a way to connect them together and then connect the whole lot to a Mac to run some sort of scrolling display? I searched online but couldn't find what I was looking for. Thanks!

Re:Fun with math: Dividing one by 998001 yields a surprising result on Thursday January 26, 2012 @09:20PM (#3516920)

It does indeed. I have a love/hate relationship with math. Love because it's fascinating and intergal to an understanding of our universe, hate because I had some horrible math teachers over the years...plus I do admit to being slightly lazy.
