5 Awesome Lego Videos

by sknauer on January 14, 2010

No other toy from my childhood inspired more imaginative play than Lego, a simple toy with infinite not-so-simple potential. There have been a number of excellent videos on the internet featuring master model builders and creative stop-motion photography with one of the world’s most famous toys that spans generations. As a father, I’m thankful that Lego has been around for as long as it has, becoming something I can enjoy with my children and hopefully my grandchildren someday. Here are some insanely creative and inspiring videos featuring one of my favorite building implements. If your favorite Lego video isn’t listed below, share it in the comments!

Desktop Pictures Update

by sknauer on January 10, 2010

Yesterday I posted a fresh, new desktop picture download for you all, but after thinking about it I am taking it offline temporarily. My aim was to offer the highest resolution possible that will scale down to most screens. I’m not happy with this one size fits all attempt. Instead I am going to offer a handful of common screen sizes (perhaps even iPhone and Android resolution downloads as well) and post them all at once. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I’ll have them back online within a day or so.

Shooting Arrows in Business
