Spring is here and with it come two ages-old symbols of fertility – the rabbit and the egg. But since Easter comes in the springtime, these symbols are part of the Christian tradition of Easter. Either way, they’re cute and so I decided to make a LEGO bunny and some eggs.
Desktop LEGO: Easter Bunny and Trees
I won this bulk bricks box (#6177 Builders of Tomorrow) at the annual BayLUG raffle, and took it to work, where I built a couple things: Easter Bunny with two eggs, and a couple trees (not to scale).
Sheep
The February BayLUG meeting had an “animals” contest theme, so I put this together the night before. Like the Xmas Ornaments I posted about a couple months ago, it’s basically an elongated Lowell sphere, with head and legs attached and an ice cream tail.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day, the day when just about everyone in the U.S. claims to be at least a little bit Irish, which means wearing green clothing and often imbibing copious amounts of beer with green food coloring added, especially when it falls on a weekend. (There’s very little to do with saints involved.) And more to the point, images of leprechauns. Continue reading “Happy St. Patrick’s Day”
Pie for Pi Day
In the American way of writing dates at least, today is 3/14/15 which is of course, Ï€ (pi), that irrational mathematical constant we all love to memorize the digits of (or at least the geekier of us do). In honor of this special day I have created two new models… Continue reading “Pie for Pi Day”

Advent 2014 Day 24
Last day of our Advent Calendar – December 24th, Christmas Eve.
The final entry for Friends seems a little underwhelming to me – a storage box for a camera and some ice skates? Strange combination.
City gives us a nice traditional Santa Claus, complete with chocolate chip cookie.
Star Wars continues with its wacky take on Christmas with Darth Claus. Okaaaay.
