A few weeks back, I showed you an Apple Store going in my home town in the local mall. Now I’m showing you the infant stages of an Apple Store under construction — from the inside. While I wasn’t there when the image was taken, a local tipster was, and was kind enough to snap a picture while the large construction doors were momentarily open. Compared to what it looks like from the outside, it appears a bit small. But that’s a trivial matter. The...
If you were cool, you would make an exoskeleton out of LEGOs that you could put on and wear around like a total nerd. Or, you could take that LEGO exoskeleton and go above and beyond by adding in actual “intelligent” motors that would mimic your hands every movement. That’s what David Hyman did anyway. His LEGO Exoskeleton hand is built out of 100% LEGOs yet powered by an external hand controller that will follow every motion his real hand makes. If...

Perhaps that’s why I get made fun of for playing with LEGO’s from time to time. It doesn’t really matter to me as I’m a nerd and will always be a nerd. There’s no hope for me. And with toys such as the LEGO bot you...
Fancy building stuff with little colored plastic blocks? At some point in time, most of you would have answered yes. Even now into your adult years, some of you still do. *sheepishly raises hand* Regardless if your LEGO usage is described by past or present, there’s no denying the versatility and creativity that these little blocks can inspire. Take for example, Ronald McCrae’s ATM Bank. Not only is it a massive LEGO-built contraption, but it’s a massive,...
