How LEGO Bricks are Made

Filed under: Diversions — geoff @ 10:33 am

Businessweek has a story demonstrating how lego bricks are made.  Amazing.  Lord, if I die and come back as granulated acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, can I be LEGOs?

The Wii is Wiidiculous!

Filed under: General, Diversions — geoff @ 6:08 pm

One of my coworkers brought their Wii in to work, and we played it at lunchtime. What a workout! The thing I love about the Wii is the combination of the physical interaction and the focus on gameplay. Since the Wii has such a unique controller, the games need to focus more on interaction and the quality of gameplay than on pretty effects. I personally like the fact that the games (that I played at least) aren’t gory or overly violent.

The Lego Store, A Dream Come True

Filed under: Diversions — geoff @ 6:20 pm

I just discovered The Lego Store at a nearby mall. I rarely visit malls (I’m actually a mall-phobic) so I had no idea such a thing existed. Walking into the store I felt a rush. It’s simply amazing. I’ve not been a fan of the sets they’ve been coming up with recently. I’ve always felt the pieces were too large and too specialized.

Bush, Koizumi Visit Graceland

Filed under: Diversions — geoff @ 4:03 pm

Mystery Train, a film by Jim JarmuschJunichiro Koizumi, Prime Minister of Japan, is on his way out.  Despite the many protests by China and Korea, he decided to pay one last visit to a shrine.  This time, he and the King of America visited the shrine of the King of Rock and Roll (no, not Steven Seagal).  I knew it!  Our joint missile defense system does involve gyrating hips.

I Could Not Live without Zappa

Filed under: Diversions, Commentary — geoff @ 1:04 pm

Listening to Packard Goose right now, I realize I could not function without the music of Frank Zappa. Somehow it makes work and life easier. When I listen to Zappa, those little annoyances… Comment Spam… IE patches… Remote Debugger never working… Trying to understand the Quicktime spec… they don’t seem to matter quite so much. I just wish I could figure out the meter in Keep it Greasey. Maybe it’s because Zappa was so good at what he did, that he made it look effortless. Someday I hope I’m that good at something. Mooo-aaahhhh….
