Yeah I’m getting a wee bit lazy and therefore only put my LEGO news in one post now and again, so here is Massive LEGO update number II.
For you Facebook addicts here is a LEGO version of it, Facebook literally in lego.
Over on theoatmeal.com they have made a graph about their memory of LEGO. As much as I agree with it I still have to disagree with it, if you are a real LEGO fan you will have LEGO harden feet. A bit like walking on hot coal you get used to it and never feel that you are stepping on a piece of LEGO. If you are an elite you will be able to tell what size LEGO you are stepping on.
My biggest memory of LEGO is after a long break away from LEGO. The rush down memory lane which was brought back by the sound and the feeling from me running my fingers through the LEGO.
With background as a graphical, mechanical designer etc I have played plenty with various plotters and printers over the years. But this one is probably the coolest I have seen – LEGO printer for mac
If you haven’t heard about TED (Technology, Entertainment, …

Sorry I have been a bit slack on posting about LEGO lately, so here is an update.
One of my all time favourite arcade games is Pac-Man and now someone have made this machine, so that you can play all your old 80′s arcade games. LINK : Lego Arcade Machine Overloads My Nerd Senses
For some reason it tickled me funny bone, no real use for this machine though many hours of fun I would say. LINK : The Most Useless Lego Machine
Not for the people who suffers arachnophobia, but now that is a mighty cool looking tarantula. LINK : Giant Lego Tarantula Grosses Me Out
NASA is about to pack up their space shuttles, I have been following them since they started (yes I’m that old) but they never really delivered what we kinda hoped back in the day. Ok there is the space station and the Hubble space telescope that they have serviced over the years. I never got the first version by LEGO of the shuttle but this new one looks very cool.

LEGOs board games and the up coming LEGO Universe just looks way to cool. So while we …

This is one of the most amazing fantastic things I have ever seen build with Lego. How Dave DeGobbi got the idea I do not know it is simply put a work of art and something I would have loved to have build or played with.
Dave DeGobbi’s steampunk inspired creation takes a small city and puts it on a mobile platform! The idea is crazy enough to work both in concept and execution. This creation is supposedly a luxury resort set in a post-apocalyptic world. What wouldn’t I pay for a trip to this exotic paradise?

Some people look at Lego bricks and see great potential buried within them. In their hands Lego rises above its childhood origins and gets a chance to aspire, to be part of something great.
In Warren Elsmore’s hands 11,000 Lego bricks have been fashioned into a scale model of the Forth Railway Bridge.
He even made a stunning Lego model of London’s St Pancras station. Use the ling below to see the BBC video.

I know which love the most but I have always have had a soft spot for the rubic cube. Now what a better mix than this a Lego robot controlled by a Nokia phone which solves a rubic cube.

I have only once managed to solve the 3x3x3 rubik cube let alone a 4x4x4. So this a wee bit of cheating getting the phone to solve but it quite cool to watch.

I’m not a gamer and only know what I have read the odd place about the game called Halo. But I am a Lego person and when I spotted this trailer the other week, I was amazed.
I had take my hat off for Alex Kobbs, who have spend the last six years summer holidays building the set and then shooting the movies.
The movie is called “The Battle of the Brick” and should be online for us all to watch early 2010, I for on can’t wait.

Added movie link, how the heck he build the whole “sound stage”, kotaku.com – the history of lego zanzibar.

I don’t read the Daily Wail, well only there is something about cycling or LEGO. Their article, “When Lego lost its head – and how this toy story got its’ happy ending” is pretty good and tell us how LEGO managed to pull themselves out off the red and back in to the black.
Even though I’m old school LEGO fan and is not so keen on the new fancy LEGO bits. I’m very impressed with what they are doing, hey I even got a Indiana Jones set myself.
Though it is not as good as Gizmodo’s trip to LEGO HQ (warning: link contains hours of fun). Just have a look at their video of the 65-foot-high Cathedrals which store 19 Billion pieces a year. Here is probably the best LEGO FAQ, Gizmodo – Everything you always wanted to know about lego, you can find.

Since London, well south of England and other bit of this country is do for a bit of show over the next few days. I post these amazing LEGO Star Wars photo taken by a Finish photographer called Avanaut.
The setup is simple really: All I use is an old transparent CD storage box, some water and my trusty old A4 lightbox for lighting. For the bottom of the box I have a piece of gray Lego baseplate cut in form and hotglued on a piece of acrylic sheet to give it some weight. Legos float because of all the air trapped inside individual pieces

Star Wars and LEGO together, oh he does mix a bit of Indy into the mix too which made me laugh out loud.

Sorry this is showing my age. I’m from the old school of LEGO, back when the most fancy piece we had was a roof tile.
The joy of play with LEGO is to search for that bit you just saw two minutes ago but can’t for the life of you find again. And then because you could not find what you were looking for, you either built something else or swapped with your fellow Lego builder for the day.
Now this Kiwi company, Box4Blox, have come up with a Lego sorter, NO! It is wrong and should put into the sin bin. As this is totally against the Lego spirit, wrong I say WRONG !
Oh, by the way, Peter and Moira Botherway it is not LEGOS, it is pieces of LEGO !!! And that is said by a Dane who ain’t great with gramma, just read this blog, but I know my LEGO.

It have now been ten years since the Matrix was made. Here is a amazing little LEGO’mation of one of the famous scene.

It took 440 hours of work and it was made just in time for the 10th anniversary of the original movie release.
