We have seen Lego Art, LEGO sculpture, wonderous Constructions and Lego Murals. But up until now the LEGOs themselves were the art, or possibly a video if the lego was part of an animation. The piece itself was also a singular entity, its not like you can take a replica home without a massive amount of effort on your part. Enter a new player in the world of LEGO art.

Lego letterpress. Samuel Cox and Justin LaRosa the team from Physical Fiction have worked together to make a different type of type. Letterpress involves rolling ink onto blocks of wood, object or other shapes to create a work in relief. In this style the objects are LEGO and the result is fantastic. But judge for yourself. These brick’d up pieces of art are beyond awesome in my book. I wonder what the world has next for LEGO?

Today’s Show:  Pokey Stick, usb drives, lego art, techcrunch, google, gloves, and boy scouts

Not only is today the day that just wouldn’t end but this sickness has me gripped up and is looking for lunch money. For the 3rd show in a row i am forced to apologize up front on how i sound, because if you heard how I sound inside my own head you’d understand.

But with all that aside this week has proven to be quite fertile grounds for news and cruft in general. We  cover some of the more heady topics floating about on the internet, discuss the Challenger disaster and  give a quick review of the coffee media stories from the past year. We also get into some of the ways Google is changing their services and offering new features.

All in all sickness aside i have a great feeling about this show and I hope you can say the same after listening.
