  1. Is Lego even alive? by tuxette · · Score: 5, Informative
    I heard on the news yesterday that Lego has a 1,4 billion DKK deficit and that the vice administrative director Poul Plougmann was fired with immediate effect.

    They also interviewed a bunch of little kids who were all very uninterested in Legos. What a shame...

      yes, they are alive, but they are going through restructuring and repositioning. I hope they succeed.

  2. Not for $7/Hour by raverbuzzy · · Score: 4, Informative

    I met someguy a few years back on an cms implementation project who told me he used to be a professional lego builder building the various large scale models found in their stores.

    I (thinking it was a dream job) replied: "Wow. What a dream job. Why did you stop?"

    To which he replied "Try living on $7 bucks an hour"
