There are a lot of world records and the truth is, a lot of them are really boring. Fortunately, this isn’t one of them. A team of thirty-two people working at the Lego Model Shop in Kladno, Czech Republic spent 17,000 hours and five-million Lego bricks constructing a 43-foot-long, 45,980-pound …
When I was a kid, my favourite thing was my bedtime stories. I was particularly fond of Where the Wild Things Are as well as Harold and the Purple Crayon, but really any story would do. Much like now as an adult, really…just about any book can make me happy, …
Hey, guess what?! It’s that time again! There is no end to the project ingenuity that comes from what a lot of people think of as simply a child’s toy: LEGO. As always, many of these are projects built by LEGO masters, but where there’s a will, there’s a way, …
I could’ve sworn I wrote about this when I first heard about it last year, but I can’t seem to find the post (or maybe I’m just not patient enough to do more than a cursory search, which is far more likely). Whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter, because now …
When I was offered a chance to play with (er…review) a pair of Sky Duel helicopters from Swann, I jumped at the chance. You probably have figured out by now that I simply cannot resist gadgets and toys, and these fall squarely under both categories.

While the weather where I live more closely resembles what one would expect from December rather than April, hope springs eternal and I still have faith that eventually we will have summer. In the meantime, my thoughts turn to various things that can be used for fun and entertainment in …
One of the things that never fails to amaze me is the number of things people think to create with LEGO bricks. When I was a kid, they were basic kits you could build basic things out of, unless you bought one of the kits designed to make a specific …
I swear, my LEGO file multiplies when I’m not looking. Just a couple of days ago, I opened it and there were almost, but not quite, enough different items to make a showcase worthwhile. Now there are too many again, to the point where I’m weeding out the ones that …
It’s not like I didn’t know there was a bunch of LEGO products, projects, and related merchandise out there. It’s that I didn’t realize how often it comes up until I started really paying attention. I’ve had to pare down several of the items I had saved to feature because …
The things you can make with LEGO are limited only by your imagination, your talent, and the amount of money you can afford to spend on LEGO bricks and minifigs. Some of them also seem to require either an engineering degree or a pool of friends who can provide one …
It’s no secret that while I have an obsession with flash drives, I also have one with pretty much all things LEGO. And goodness knows there are plenty of kits, custom-built pieces, and general gadgetry to keep me entertained for weeks and days. All of a sudden, it occurred to …
There’s no shortage of cases for the iPhone 5 on display at CES, but one of the ones that caught our eye was the iPhone 5 Brickcase from Smallworks.
The concept is simple, a Lego building platform that allows you to design and build whatever you can conceive and are …
