If you are into LEGO bricks, you should go to LEGO Fan and download the new quarterly magazine in PFD format. You can even download in two halves if you have a slow connection

Quote:

BrickJournal is a quarterly publication that will focus on the Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) community, with articles about:
people - the personalities behind the building
building - the incredible models that have been built
community - the places and events where AFOLs meet

The current issue is Vol 1 - No 1, and 35 pages of interesting stuff. Pages 6 & 7 are the Annual Report of the company that I thought was cool. There is even a section on the history and the involvement of Samsonite in the US distribution.
No, I don't have a life. :lol:

That's pretty cool... Now I want to buy the Star Destroyer set again..

Yeah I was tempted by the Millenium Falcon.

Here's something I was inspired to do while reading MetaFilter... A Java demo of how it works is here.

Is that a pantograph made out of Legos?

No, it's a Peaucellier Cell, a linkage that translates rotation (of the arm with the yellow knob) into a straight line (of the rod along the red line).

have you seen "Revenge of the Brick" on the Star Wars Clone Wars II DVD? amazing. and i'm not even a lego fan.

slinks away to dwell in my own nerdness.
