how cool are these? (cool, so to speak)

....................The Art Shanty Projects is an artist community and exhibition that forms each winter on the frozen surface of Medicine Lake in Plymouth, Minnesota. My friend Mike Haeg entered his dICEHOUSES project this year—5 gigantic dice icehouses, each outfitted with a cozy table and a pack of playing cards.......................

a a lego v8

please go

HERE to see an AMAZING lego aircraft carrier. there are many other pictures. i just chose a few at random.

........It's a 200,000-brick, 350-pound aircraft carrier -- the Harry S Truman -- complete with electrical lights as well as moving elevators and radar dishes.

As all of us geekdads can appreciate, building this model was not without difficulties on the homefront. Hawking, a German father of two and (at least before this masterwork) neophyte bricker spent over $20,000 on parts and it took the better part of a year. But despite "lots of arguments at home" he somehow succeeded and showed the Truman all over Europe. The brick de resistance was to be an appearance at Brickworld '07 with transport provided by the US Navy, but unfortunately the arrangement fell through...............

for approximately $30.00

and a bit of your time, you can have this neat-o lamp. yes, it IS made out of egg cartons (good thing vegans sometimes have loads o' NON-vegan buds)


so do YOU want to make an egg carton flower pendant light?
