This week, a paper airplane machine, Microsoft gobbles up Github, a comic vomit bot, a LEGO-style megaphone, printer cable coasters, counting bees, joining wood with plastic bottles, and actual reality games in Hong Kong. This week's Cool Tool is the Komelon 25' tape measure: amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B008AGWNII/ctmakerupdate-20
