Reveal, explore, and celebrate the fascinating LEGO® story in The LEGO® Book. From its beginnings in a carpenter’s workshop and the development of the first plastic brick, to the group’s current position as an international brand, a timeline highlights key moments in LEGO® history.
Fascinating facts on every significant LEGO® product line, theme park, video game, artwork, competition, club, collectible and more combine with images from the LEGO Group’s photo archives-many seen here for the first time-and inspiring ideas on how to make a variety of things from just a few bricks. Packaged in a beautiful slip case with cutting-edge design, this two-volume set also features Standing Small-a 96-page book celebrating the minifigure.

Oh no, here comes my inner nerd once again. Check out the Flickr photo pool for CubeDudes. CubeDudes are demented, but still oddly awesome LEGO block figures of all your favorite characters. Everyone from comic book characters to fast food icons (check out the scary Ronald McDonald above). See the entire flickr pool here.

Designer & student Jonathan Yule created this conceptual map to illustrate the interactive process of a child with LEGO’s. Oddly enough, when you think about it, a child working with LEGO’s is a complex process of imagination and thought within the limits of the toys - a process very similar to that encountered by us as adults when working in all aspects of design. Yule’s map is available in A1 poster size, for $80. Get your here.

The television, although a great source of entertainment, it’s also
known as the idiot box. And in recent years, its influence on children, due to the content, has become a growing concern among parents.
However, as parents, we can’t stop children from watching television, but we can offer an alternative form of entertainment. One that builds their minds and imagination.
We developed a campaign, which showed scenes from television programmes that were not suitable for children, like drugs, sex and violence. Then, we used the Lego blocks to censor the subject.

We here in NYC are addicted to our iPhones - despite the notoriously poor AT&T reception in Manhattan. So it’s the apps that have seduced me into keeping the iPhone, even though as a phone its useless here at ASD Labs HQ. And if that’s the reason I’m going to keep this i[am-not-being-used-as-a]Phone gadget, I’m going to load it up with killer apps. As a business manager into usability and interaction design, I’m always looking for productivity software that is effective and fun to use, so that it doesn’t seem like, well, work. I stumbled upon this attractive, easy to use Mind Mapping software, called SimpleMindX. Select your central concept, and build out your mind map from it. You can choose from different visual styles - I liked the colors on black background; it reminded me of a Lite-Brite. You can easily export as a .jpg (you can export more complex formats in the paid version), and email it from your camera roll. I used it to map out my electronics upgrade strategy - here’s my “Electronics Happy Healthy” map, so I can keep track of upgrading software, recycling hardware, and downloading my favorite MMORPGs. I also like using this software for brainstorming art projects and operational strategy.
