The real Paper Mario

December 19th, 2007

Joel likes to think of these sorts of things as hobbies, which I’m inclined to agree with in regards to LEGOs but this is too much. I prefer this video anyway.

Iron Man made out of Legos

Some people have too much time on their hands. Don’t you think?

Legos can make things besides spaceships

December 11th, 2007

Not to sound like an old fart, but back when I was a kid we had to figure out how to build guns out or Legos ourselves, using rubber bands and gearing them for torque and speed. But today’s lazy youth can actually buy a book of blueprints on how to make guns, catapults, cannons, [...]

DIY and you: how your gadget tinkering can make you money

November 15th, 2007

As much as I enjoy screwing around with the latest tech goodies, I couldn’t build a car out of legos, much less Steampunkify an old keyboard or mouse. Plenty of folks can, however, and are turning their gadget making and tinkering skills into viable businesses. Take Limor Fried, who runs Adafruit, a Web site that [...]

Bug Labs bets big on open hardware

November 1st, 2007

We were ready to chalk these guys up to the vaporware list, but now it’s looking as if Bug Labs just might change how we look at and use hardware. Scratch that, it might change how we make hardware. Bug Labs is making what is basically a version of Lego Mindstorm for grownups.
Like Mindstorm, a [...]

Ridiculous (in a good way) LEGO stuff

October 28th, 2007

Hey is that a life size LEGO replica of Hans Solo frozen in carbonite? Indeed it is!
There are some other pretty cool photos, including MC Escher’s “Relativity,” a 14-foot long Stegosaurus, a gigantic Loch Ness Monster partially submerged in a lake, and an even more gigantic aircraft carrier.
Enjoy!

Star Wars + Legos + Watches = Awesome

October 11th, 2007

We like watches. We like Star Wars. We like Legos. So, naturally, we’re all about these Star Wars Lego Watches, which are just what they sound like.
They come in parts, and you get to pick and choose to personalize it, because that’s the kind of nerd you are. Vader, Yoda, Luke and a random Clonetrooper [...]

Corsair Flash Drive Gives Up Your P0rn Addiction

As if the LEGO flash drive wasn’t enough to woo you back. Corsair has announced a drive with a built-in display that shows how much data you’ve already used indicated by a pie chart; how much capacity is left is displayed with four digits, and a labeling system so you can personalize the content’s read [...]

IdeaFestival 2007: Day 2, Google Reigns Supreme

September 14th, 2007

Presentations of any sort are typically boring and I find myself waking up to someone nudging me and wiping off the drool. It happened in college quite a bit and still happens today. Unless you’re talking about something earth shattering then chances are I’m taking a snooze.
Google’s Craig Neville-Manning certainly changed my outlook with [...]
