In the spirit of the Christmas season, here is a Flickr gallery of LEGO snowflakes put together by Nelson "Big Daddy" Yrizarry.  Link [via Neatorama]

Here is a funny Super Mario Bros. stop motion video mixed with a little Pong and some other game (I'm pretty sure there weren't any men with swords in the Mario games).

Bonus clip: Here is another stop motion video made by the same director.  Tetris stop motion.

The Big Pumpkin Lego Monster ate a helpless MinFig and I have the photos to prove it.

The photos show how the monster gradually seeped through the wall, snuck up on the unknowing MinFig, and then eventually snatched him up. 

There were no remains.

This Lego rocket launcher pinpoints each of the four targets and then accurately shoots rockets at each one. 

Here are several videos of the launcher in action:

David Bulte has programmed his Lego Mindstorms to function like a scanner that generates sound.  The scanner is set on an arm that moves back and forth over the 'score', which is a set of various colored blocks.  The different colors are then scanned and translated into sound.

On Bulte's website you can view a demo as well as listen to some mp3 Lego Music Machine examples.  If you are interested in duplicating this, you can also download Bulte's code.

Tha Qru is going to the Netherlands! I will keep this blog open so I can update here in the states before the compitition, and hopefully in the Netherlands (internet connection pending). If I cannot however, I will type everything up what happened each day and post it in here when I get back.

It looks like Lego has finally determined the 100 "pioneers" who will be getting a sneak peek at the new product.

From my inbox:

Thank you very much for your interest in participating in the LEGO(r) MINDSTORMS(tm) Developer Program. We are very sorry but unfortunately you have not been selected to take part in the Program. Over 9000 fans sent in their applications and it was extremely difficult selecting 100 people only.

So I guess over 8900 Lego fanatics will be crying themselves to sleep tonight.  Me included.  On the bright side, they also sent along a link that'll allow everyone to be "one of the first" to be able to reserve a unit.  Boo.

So much for making FIRST training manuals this summer... 

We all know they chose wrong, but I guess it's only sour grapes until we start seeing some wicked creations from the lucky chosen. Time to move on, folks. Nothing to see here but 20-somethings crying about plastic toy bricks.
