Now you can build your LEGO masterpieces without spending lots of money on bricks. Also you won’t waste time brick building by hand because you can now use Google’s new software Build – a Chrome based LEGO brick building game. It’s cool because you can visualize your LEGO build virtually and make sure everything looks right before you build it with real LEGO pieces.

Before there was streaming videos and YouTube, people had to use these machines called VHS tape decks to watch movies. Here’s a flashback sound of a tape rewinding:

Not only did it take him 15 years to finish this collection but he challenged himself to find and buy factory sealed video games. Now that’s hardcore.

These are some pretty cool custom figures of Wolverine done by J. Arturo Ramirez Romero. You can’t buy them just yet, you need to email him and if there are enough interest, he might put it into production. I would love to see him do the whole X-Men group or the entire Avengers team since they’re really hot items right now. Or maybe even Bruce Lee! Because, you know, he was DA MAN.

Smaller iPad Screen
July 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment
We really shouldn’t be spreading rumors but what the heck, some things in life are too good not to share. There are reports coming out that Apple is planning on producing a smaller iPad with a 7 to 8 inch screen. Even though the bigger iPad screen is great for surfing the net, the smaller screen will be perfect for the public transit commuter like me. With one hand on the rail bar and one hand on a smaller iPad – now they have to figure out how I can surf with just one thumb because I’m not taking that hand off the rail. Have you seen how some bus drivers drive around lately?
Check out the Bloomberg article: iPad with Smaller Screen.
