New Independent Lego Journal Launches

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bric-a-block dept.

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.

    Wow...the poster didn't even RTFA...there's links on the page for both the 35 page single file version *and* the two separate file versions.

    kinda makes sense to me, especially for modem users...you can read one while getting the other...or waiting for the slashdotting to pass, either way.

    Lego engineers'

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

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

    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)!

  8. time for the obligitory Lego post... by CoffeeJedi · · Score: 4, Funny

    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?
