Blake sez, "In a previous BB post, Mark wrote about a Japanese man who has been documenting online the life of a vending machine since 2005. He just created a little papercraft version of that self-same vending machine so you can feel like you're right there with him." Link (Thanks, Blake!)

Through this papercraft Coke machine I feel a strange connection to a man I don't know on the other side of the planet. I'm staring at it on my desk and it's starting to freak me out, but in a good way.

That's from Japan! One is because I've seen it, and two it's only a Japanese madman, like myself, who who would have an obsessions with vending machines. I dont have an obsessions, but I do really really like them. I have to admit, vending machines are weird things to really really like. But what can I say, Im Japanese.

OOOH! Papercraft! It must be cool.

Will you put up my papercraft BAG?

Some of the pc stuff is cool, but this is merely a BOX! Think outside it.

At my work I've been studying to vending machines to figure out how to open them and loot the way overpriced booty, but every 2 minutes someone comes and uses them (and they usually waddle and complain about huge debt in average conversation)

Ps they seem to be the standard 80's machines. Can anyone get me some info?
