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”
Improved LEGO Calendar
If you’ve built the LEGO Brick Calendar 853195, you might have discovered that it’s a real pain to rearrange it each month. So I’ve created my own version, using the parts from that set plus others from my collection, to create a better version:
Advent 2014 Awards
3 Advent Calendars.
24 days.
72 models.
14 minifigs.
2 minidolls.
4 animals.
2 droids.
9 mini spaceships.
3 gun emplacements.
2 hearths.
3 Christmas trees (including the droid).
Having built all 72 models, I’ve come up with some winners for the best model in each category. Continue reading “Advent 2014 Awards”

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.

Advent 2014 Day 23
Happy Christmas Eve Eve. Only one more shopping day – are you ready??
Today the LEGO Advent Calendars bring us another Christmas tree (Friends), a trike (City), and a somewhat sinister looking hearth (Star Wars). Along with yesterday’s goofy Christmas Tree droid, I like the way the LEGO Star Wars is approaching the advent calendar with a sense of humor and hope tomorrow’s is even better…
Just one more left!
Advent 2014 Day 22
Seriously LEGO Star Wars? A Christmas Tree droid???? Gosh.
City has a more conventional tree, and Friends brings us a gift to put under it.
Advent 2014 Day 21
Happy Solstice! Today is the shortest day and longest night of the year. Today in our LEGO Advent calendars we get a speaker and controls (Friends), a wrapped gift and a stocking (City), and a Y-Wing Fighter (Star Wars). The Star Wars one comes with tons of extra parts!
