It’s not that I have forgotten about you gals and guys, but this tab usually is buried somewhere amid another 30 and 40 tabs. Ok, ok excuses of course and the real excuse should be that I was busy, right? Of course not that I barely ever have opened my feedreader recently, right?
Luckily we still love LEGO here at frankylicious HQ and e mark this return with the Story of Adult Fans of Lego
Remember how we all got excited about James May’s LEGO house? Full scale excited LEGO house.
The guys over at the Beeb certainly had fun with our money, holding the episode back but this year, Christmas will not bring you the eternal Christmas carols and evergreen movies, but instead we get James May in his LEGO House and the last episodes of the Tenth Doctor.
Are you excited already? I sure am but of course the Beeb has other plans again. Instead they released a teaser video on the Tube today.
It was long overdue and I admit having neglected LEGO lately but therefor this update is a killer one: NES LEGO.
More pictures after the jump. Read more
Brilliant PDF with the official name of LEGO bricks and how 4 kids, all younger than 8, call those blocks.
The title really says it all. Remember those popup books we loved as kids? Yup, one of those. Made with LEGO.
Oh sorry. Maybe I should have warned you about the horrendously cheesy music.
This will probably make any kid and geek out there cry but it was to be expected. Nobody stepped up to buy it and the by LEGO donated blocks now have been rudely hammered to pieces again. Gone is the house built for James May. Returned are the bricks to a future house life, being donated to charity builds.
Christoph Niemann, columnist par excellence for the NYT, and known for brilliant pieces such as his A History of Coffee Love, which I mentioned at ifranky in pre-frankylicious times, always is worth a read. Rands reminded me of this brilliant piece about New York: I LEGO NY.
If you have never read Niemann’s illustrated stories for the NYT, check out New York Cheat Sheets and The Boys and The Subway.
1500 hours of moving LEGO bricks and taking pictures of it: nostalgic look back on cool 8-bit games with a just as awesome stop-motion movie.
Yup, more stop-motion, more videos and more LEGO. Because it’s awesome!
Via Forever Geek.
Awesome almost 3 foot high Super Mario made out of LEGO, completely with 3D wireframe.
☆ The new Spike Jonze's 'I'm here, the movie' now available online
☆ I know there are fans of coffee art among the frankylicious readers, so I thought I might as well post a link to it here. Even though I would not want to wait or have a barista make a lovely piece of art I would ruin by stirring it up. No, I never would waste any of the guests' time layering flavoured mocchas. Anyway, here you go : Art in My Coffee.
☆ The Sun thinks differently. Did I just link to The Sun?Screw that. Everybody move on now! Nothing to see here.
☆ Not everyone enjoys Christmas but of course that doesn't mean you have to go totally Dickensian about it. Instead, play some Whack-a-mole. On your iPhone. Read a review at AppleGazette.
☆ 1000 Celebrities and pop culture icons in 8-bit art. On your iPhone. At $2.99 a cool deal for 8-bit nerds, otherwise wasted money. 'Get it!', we say.
☆ If you are not a victim of geotardation, ie. if you live in the US of A, you can watch the complete Caprica pilot on SyFy (who's the moron who came up with that spelling?
☆ Interesting discovery and video: an octopus uses a coconut shell to hide under but also takes the shell with him when walking over the mud of the ocean. Coconuts as tools. Most interesting of all, this was not discovered or filmed by the BBC Life team.
☆ Go on, admit it! You also want one of these: 700mW green laser pointer. Abuse the occasion as they are 20% off and only $2.499 anymore! I wished I were rich.
