Handcar Regatta

Many Regatta attendees this year may have tumbled with Michael McGinnis’ puzzling large-scale three dimensional maze known as the Giant Superplexus. It inspires awe to say the least.

Today, good news has arrived from Boing Boing, via one of my maker heros Mark Frauenfelder, and we’d like to congratulate Mr. McGinnis on a second production run of his amazing Superplexus puzzle. It is now titled 360 Puzzle Sphere and is available at ThinkGeek for a trifling $15.

Like any great invention, there has been no end of struggle and patience in devising his various Plexus iterations over time. For a fascinating read, wander over to the history page for a peek into a genius’ steady pursuit of a glorious idea since the 1970s.

Well done, Mr. McGinnis! We look forward to more amazing works of mind-bending art.
