The lego

The lego used to be one of my favorite toys-
along with rolli polli and ants and rocks and dirt.
I think LEGO is,
the brilliant invention ever.
So meeting LEGO people this summer was extra special for me.
Klaus, a prototype maker, used to fish farming long time ago-
always told me I need to start learn modeling now.
Megan, a concept designer of the LEGO, encouraged me to continue be in the industry as a woman power!
Mark, "the" builder, told me "90% of concept lego don't go through"

All the lego product we see in the marktet is the 10% that made it through.
Through rebuilding, recycling, and reconstructing.

Could you make to 10%?

This is LEGO fan website.
I absolutely think it's brilliant!

Do You Use Left or Right?

I'm talking about being left or right-brained. We know both sides excel at different parts of brain work but having a stronger intuition with either side can dictate the reasons behind actions. I found this awesome website that breaks it down. It begins with a little test to determine whether you use more left or right brained (or you could be both i guess).

I was very surprised at the results! But see for yourself. Click here!

$ Makeover

I read an article about the Dollar ReDe$ign Project. The project was started as a creative attempt to revive the national recession, as the "catalyst to restart the economy." The creative strategy consultant behind the project says that America needs to be able to compete with its flashy rival the euro.

Here are a few concept designs that have been submitted by various people.

The purpose of the vertical dollar bill was because it was observed that people tend to handle bills vertically and and look for bills in their wallet vertically (duh, that's because wallets open vertially...)


The one dollar bill hasn't changed for decades, I doubt this will ever go through now. I think Americans have a firm identity with their money and its distinct look. These recent designs look so much like foreign bills. Even though the project is real, it actually isn't popular. The heads of the project have circulated a petition to urge the U.S. government to change the bills' designs, and that's how much effort they need to try an prove that people want these changes, but I don't think it will happen, not soon at least.

EyeSore

I found this cool site with a ton of flash optical illusions! They are quite fascinating as you go along. Some of them I'm sure you've seen somewhere before, but then it goes into more advance versions! Click Here to See!

New Films from GOBELIN

http://www.gobelins.fr/galerie/animation/

Maybe John Clapp has his name in the credits somewhere. These are the new films from the Gobelin 2010 year! They did a really gob job this year (MUCH better than last year), I enjoyed all of the films. They're all in there own style and tell very simple stories in the most entertaining way!

Sue, you'll probably like "Trois Petits Points"

Guess which one I really like...
