Here’s a little DIY project for you Nikon shooters out there. Certain models of the Nikon DSLR support IR remotes, but to buy an actual “Nikon” brand remote from your local camera shoppe will set you back around $40. Why not build one yourself instead? → Read More
Some nice Polish boys made this clever robotic hand that is built to human scale and, interestingly, has a thumb and four working fingers. Did we mention it was made using Lego? → Read More
Sure, this LEGO creation looks impressive just sitting there, but click the Read More link to see it in action. → Read More
When LEGOs and a laptop can solve a puzzle that I’ve never been able to, it either means our children will be enslaved by evil robot overlords or I need to apply myself a bit more. → Read More
What’s a young lad to do with a buttload of black LEGOs and a classic Linksys WRT54GL router? Turn it into a LEGO router, of course. [thanks for the tip, Geoff!] → Read More
Sure, this isn’t the largest or most impressive LEGO ship out there, but it still cooler than anything you could build. Check out Jerac’s Flickr set to see the construction and other just-as-nice LEGO creations. [Thanks for the tip, Scott!] → Read More
What a shame. The LEGO house has been demolished just weeks after completion for James May’s other show, Toy Stories. (He’s known as Captain Slow on Top Gear, too) → Read More
These LEGO walkie talkies could be so much cooler. It’s not that they are lacking in a technical way. Nope, they pack all the standard bells and whistles of a modern walkie talkie. It’s that the LEGO-look is printed on and not actual LEGO bumps. Lame. I know. Good thing they are only $28 from Urban Outfitters. → Read More
We’re normally not too keen on Lego stuff, but we’ll make an exception in the interest of camaraderie. Plus, it involves James May from Top Gear, a show we can all get behind (even if I don’t know a darn thing about cars!). Right, so architect Barnaby Gunning designed a real house out of Lego. No, not a “Lego house,” that is, a Lego house for Lego people, but a real, human-livable house made out of Lego. Indeed. → Read More
If this video doesn’t warm the swollen-shut cockles of your adult heart, then you didn’t grow up in the eighties. I, for one, was awash in a sea of Atari, NES, LEGO, and Pac-Man. The stop-motion footage in this video apparently took 1500 hours to put together, which is pretty amazing considering the final product is just under four minutes long. Four wonderful, cockle-warming minutes. 8-bit trip [YouTube via BoingBoing] → Read More
There seems to be a little controversy over these German LEGO ads. The Making History campaign uses LEGO blocks to recreate historic moments. You have to admit that they are well done. But you see, a guy on Flickr has been doing this for sometime and one of the ad images is a little too similar to be done accidently. → Read More
If this LEGO stop motion video doesn’t bring a nostalgic smile to your face, you’re probably on the wrong blog. I like the asteroid one the best, btw. [via offworld] → Read More
I don’t get a bonerd for LEGOs like some people I know whose names start with a J and end with an S and work for a site that rhymes with shmimono, but I have fond memories of spending countless hours as a youth erecting LEGO fortresses and castles and whatever else my imagination could conjure up. It was always about smashing the other fortress and kicking some tiny LEGO ass, but that was at least 20 years ago. Now fast forward to 2009 and while I still like to kick ass, I enjoy doing it on a much smaller scale. Enter LEGO Battles for the Nintendo DS. → Read More
Normally going for around $40 elsewhere, Amazon has the Wii version of LEGO Batman for just $20. It’s priced at $20 on all the other consoles, too, if you want a version other than the Wii version. → Read More
Got a DIY itche like I do? Need some inspiration? You may wanna check out these 35 creative USB flash drives for some creative juice. Some can be constructed with nothing more than a Dremel and super glue. → Read More
No fair! I wish I had a broken arm with a bionic LEGO cast that allowed me to accessorize with several wonderful gadgets like flashlights and voice recorders. Lucky! → Read More
Some geeks are extremely obsessed with LEGO. You know who you are. We’re not showing these homemade LEGO flash drives for you. Oh no, we’re not supporting your addiction. This post is for the rest of us who enjoy a well-built LEGO creation, but don’t lose girlfriends over the damn blocks. → Read More
