Check Out: Boxy but good

This post comes as a find by my brother. As the email states:

Check this out. A coworker is into a racing thing here in the US where you have a $500 limit on your car, and your run it in a 24 hour race. Themes are key… Someone did a brick theme… Check out this [...]

Taking the brick into the real world

There’s a lot of interesting stuff being done with Lego out there. Sometimes you see some stuff that crosses in to the real world, but I don’t think I’ve seen something as ‘real world’ as Dispatchwork.
