Adult Fans of Lego Video
Passion combines with creativity in this documentary that features a selection of AFOLs (Adult Fans Of LEGO) from the Pacific NorthWest. When I see these guys, it makes me feel so much better about my own toy collecting addiction!

Some ancient rune stone typography
Beware of dessert in Denmark!
We went drinking with a pirate called Klaus. This is his boat.
Check out Part 3 tomorrow where we travelled to Copenhagen!

Bryce McGlone Mecha Lego
Bryce McGlone has a truly gifted Lego-mind...
Though apparently he's not one of the movers or shakers in the Lego community, he is fairly active in the smaller mecha community and by extension the Bionicle community. Currently Bryce is building mostly Bionicle models only because his building techniques are "geared more towards the ball socket joints and an open ended building style loosely termed "weave". umm OK..(just admit ur damn good!)
He works in Hollywood at a Post Production facility. In short, he puts together TV shows from the daily camera reels to the final air masters that you see on TV.
He does commissioned work as well. He can build just about anything you can imagine. Though employed as a manager in the Post Production industry, Bryce has a background in design.

Lego Crawler Town
I don't think I've ever seen as unique a Lego creation as this "eco punk" mobile town, created by Dave DeGobbi. As it should, Crawler Town has its own little backstory:
Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation and to enjoy rare luxuries like Pizza, fresh vegetables and Beer. Travelling the wastes in search of minerals and aquifers ( vital for survival) the mobility of the city keeps it away from the vicious sand storms of the wastes.

Computer-Controlled LEGO Airbus A380
While the Lego Airbus A380 at Legoland is the biggest Lego airplane out there, this one is much cooler. To start with, there are snakes inside, along with five other movie scenes. And then, it's computer-controlled, using a touchscreen.
The PC program running on the touch screen controls eight Mindstorm NXT engines and six hitechnic servos, which in turn can retract the gear, open cargo doors, move the flaps, raise the air brakes, activate the landing lights, move the tail fin, and throttle the engines, among other actions.
