| Legos are awesome. We've used them for civil engineering class here, and will be using them for systems engineering soon.
Legos - they're not just for kids anymore! |

| Sweeet. The little ones would be easy to make, you wouldn't have to buy any special peices or sets, just use the stuff you've already got laying around.

| My brother-in-law was a design engineer, and he used to say that his dream job would be to be on the design team at Lego...
Seriously, if you ever have a chance to see the traveling Lego demo show, go. The one I saw had exhibits ranging in size from a toaster to a VW Beetle; they included: the White House, the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, the palace of Versailles, Notre Dame de Paris, an Indy race car, Mont St. Michel, and the downtown of Amsterdam.
Truly mind-boggling.

Truly mind-boggling. | Not so difficult when you think about it. It's just 3D pixelation (is that a word?). You want more resolution? Just make it bigger! Or you combine pixels to make what you want.

| Man I want the Star Destroyer set. The little ones I could make with the pieces I have in my closet (unfortunately there's no gauranteeing I'd be able to get the right colored pieces though).
