How LEGO Bricks are Made
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!
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
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
Junichiro 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
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….
