A Distraction
by Tom Bozzo
Star Wars.
Steampunk.
LEGO.
Need I say more?
This is a blog, who am I kidding? Here are my favorites so far.
Funniest Translation Between the Star Wars and Steampunk Universes: "Astro the Navigation Monkey," from Mark Stafford's Royal Naboo AirForce 1. Some of you may recall Stafford's widely-linked Cthulego creations.
Looks Like It Really Could Work: Flickrite Monsterbrick's AT AT ELE walker. See the Stokertrooper (or is it the Stormstoker)!
The New Old Gilded Age Award: Thwaak's Imperial London Shuttle. Again, someone has to keep the fires burning; things are better up front.
It's looking hard to resist rubber-necking at the expected stock market carnage, even though it's probably best to whistle past the graveyard. It's more fun to follow the FBTB.net Steam-Wars contest, no? What's not to like?

What Happens in Legoland Las Vegas...
by Tom Bozzo
The chief designer for the project, Kristi Klein, has a blog with lots of construction pictures. (Also proving that Nuevo Blogger labels can be useful!)
Alas, ongoing construction at the house has my (oh yeah, and John's) LEGO building space out of commission for another few weeks.
...the obvious lede for a story on the Yahoo News "most popular" list this morning: the opening of a new miniature Las Vegas exhibit at Legoland California. At least it's currently ranking higher than the current "top story" regarding Paris Hilton's possible parole violation, showing that just maybe we haven't completely lost our marbles yet. (On the other hand...)

Personality Crisis
by Ken Houghton
Courtesy of The Divine Miss J, I learn that I don't answer this type of quiz well:
| You Are Bert |
 Extremely serious and a little eccentric, people find you loveable - even if you don't love them! You are usually feeling: Logical - you rarely let your emotions rule you You are famous for: Being smart, a total neat freak, and maybe just a little evil How you life your life: With passion, even if your odd passions (like bottle caps and pigeons) are baffling to others |
