New Independent Lego Journal Launches

hfcs writes "Joe Meno, a Lego-junkie buddy of mine has just launched BrickJournal, a new, independent journal for Lego fanatics, 'featuring HOWTOs, reviews, history and interviews with Lego engineers'. As mentioned over at BoingBoing this morning, it's like 'a very, very, very specific version of Make!'." Conveniently split into two PDFs for your reading pleasure.

A mania for everything...

Geeze. I thought that folks had gotten carried away over Star Trek and M&M collecting. ... just wait 'till we see a new meaning of the phrase "block party weekend" :-)

Improper Pluralization

Lego engineers'

No no no. The plural of "Lego engineer" is "Lego engineer".

It's interesting that you would suggest that BrickJournal is bricking away gold, but I think that's just you dishing out brickbats. Perhaps you should consider a more helpful comment in the future. In other words, be a brick.

Well, apparently you can take apart things made with LEGO Bricks and rebuild them into other things. I would say yes.

Suddenly Lego start selling boxes of cone pieces. Nothing but the cones.

My huband and the infamous LEGO bath

I just had to share this with everyone on /. as everyone else I tell this to seems to make them chuckle...

My husband and I were working over the summer at Penn State and we were living in the crappy sublet right on the main street. It had no AC so we used fans the is sucked in some of the worst street grime you can imagine. So, one evening I came home from work to see him sitting on the floor with a whole little set-up - bowls of water, lots of paper towls, a toothbrush - and he had taken apart all of his LEGO things, washed each one piece by piece and put them back together.

He won't do the dishes, but he will wash his LEGO's. This mag is made for him, the Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL)!

Which of you pretends to be the woman?

I refuse to believe that a woman posts here.

Using legos is great and all...

[chriswaclawik]

But I wish they hadn't built their web server with legos. Sometimes, making things out of legos is (gasp) not practical. :(

time for the obligitory Lego post...

in my day you only had simple blocks and no figures and no wheels and it was so much more fun and kids these days get whole blocks already in the shape of a car and its all about Star Wars and Harry Potter and not about building and blah blah blah.... and even though i could easily look online or go to the store to see that basic sets and creative sets are still available or remember that minifigs and specialty pieces have been around for 20 years, i'm still going to just spout garbage and complain on slashdot... oh, and Bill Gates sucks

there, did i cover all the bases?

According to Jeep, Jeep is an adjective. You shouldn't get into your Jeep; you should get into your Jeep vehicle.

Ugh, that's totally Jeeped up. But seriously, we could use this against them. Like, "did you Jeep her last night?" "Yeah man, she was Jeeping fantastic!" Pretty soon, people would get so sick of it that they would go out of buisness.

What they used to build it with?
