Lego Does Frank Lloyd Wright
By lilybeeLego's architecture series is perfect for those of us who had trouble giving up the blocks as kids. The collection now includes the Guggenheim in all it's crazy-shaped glory (it looks particularly sci-fi in Lego).

Today's Inauguration...in LEGO
By DIY Maven
If you haven't yet seen it, Legoland's reproduction of today's inauguration is no less than remarkable. From the throng of people, to a sobbing Bush 43* and an army of Porta-Potties, nothing is forgotten. Although, I wonder if they've updated it to depict Cheney in a wheelchair? » READ MORE

Repairing Walls with LEGO?
By DIY Maven
Apparently, LEGO have been used to repair crumbling walls in Bocchignano, Italy, a village near Rome. The ‘repair work’ was part of the ‘20 Eventi’ project. Not sure if LEGO are the appropriate addition to a centuries old building? Me either, but it does make one wonder how cool they might look as a decorative element on an interior corner or two. Via.
LunaBlocks: LEGO-like furniture for the rest of us
By Doug Aamoth
The idea of sitting on LEGOs seems like a good idea until you remember that everything's mostly made of hard plastic with little nubbins sticking out everywhere. So maybe these LunaBlocks, which only look like LEGOs but are actually made from squishy-yet-durable polypropylene, would be a better, more comfortable option.
Comfort doesn't come cheap, though, as you'll need to order them from France and EACH block costs between $20 and $55. Buildi » READ MORE
