Lego felt-tip printer

More awesome creations. Can nerds ever be stopped?

Lego house

Thank you, Britain.

Super nerd star trek lego replica

Some guy made a shot-for-shot recreation of the Star Trek pilot out of Legos.

It's very impressive. I'm jealous. Of someone who: has that many legos, has that much time, and has that much knowledge of Star Trek. Well, maybe not jealous of the last one. But I definitely think he's a cool guy. And by cool, I mean a super dork.

Muppet Lord of the Rings

Or, the Battle of Ham's Deep.

A Comics Shop has painstakingly combined Muppet and Tolkien action figures into an awesome tableau of muppets and battle.

Tabletop object art

This guy makes sculptures from various objet d'art. Like playing cards, soup cans, spoons, pencil sharpeners.

Barbie doll jewelry

This lady makes jewelry out of Barbie dolls. It's creepy.

Tram Riding

I got to ride the Tram today. OMSI is partnering with OHSU to show Bodyworlds, so they invited us to ride the tram for free.

It's definitely a box swinging on a rope. A very strong rope. And unless they let you use a bus ticket to ride, it will be good for OHSU only, and useless for everybody else. If I could ride up for $2, I might use it to boost my bike to the top of the hill on the way home. Or bike to OHSU, then tram/streetcar around downtown. But $4? Just enough to make it a luxury.

Lego #1 Tire manufacturer

"...the LEGO Group is producing 15 billion components a year—that's 1.7 million items an hour, or 28,500 a minute. Tire production accounts for some of that number; the factory also produces 306 million tiny rubber tires a year. In fact, going by that number, LEGO is the world's No. 1 tire manufacturer."

From this beautiful story about how LEGOs are made.
