Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it. There it is! Scientists from the Hamburg-Harburg Technical University in Germany used a Lego ship to replicate the phenomenon of a monster rogue sinking a ship in a wave tank. To recreate the effect, the team produced waves based on a solution of the non-linear wave equation thought to be the most likely explanation for large freak waves. In this case, a weak oscillation propagates continuously while suddenly increasing in amplitude for a short time. "I programmed the paddle of the wave [...]

LEGO is considering turning the above spec set of Shaun of the Dead into an actual LEGO set. That means there's a distinct possibility of one day being able to buy a set of zombie LEGOS based on the cult movie. We really do live in a glorious world. After actor Simon Pegg begged for fan support on Conan, the spec set received the necessary 10,000 votes from supporters and now LEGO is weighing whether to give it the "go/no go" treatment. Please, just make this and take my damn [...]

Fast Co. Design took a tour of the Lego offices in Denmark . It's safe to say its office is better than your office. These are folks who play for a living, after all. (Lucky jerks.) So for Lego PMD in Billund, Denmark-where the toy giant develops new products-Danish designers Rosan Bosch and Rune Fjord created a 21,500-square-foot big-kid funhouse. There's an aerial walkway covered in blue padding to resemble a puffy cloud. There are cartoonishly oversized wall graphics, including one of the Lego man, and lush bonsai gardens built into the tables. There's even [...]

LEGO vino con todo esta semana. Anuncio tras anuncio, desde la colección de Lord of the Rings, la de Minecraft, y el Moleskine LEGO, la compañía tuvo unos días muy productivos, por lo menos en cuanto a ruido en la web se refiere. Aquí hay un video que me encontré hoy, en el que podemos ver cómo un hombrecillo LEGO llega al límite de la atmósfera de la Tierra (a 80,000 pies de altura) gracias a la grandiosa idea de Matthew Ho y Asad Muhammad (ambos estudiantes de preparatoria, originarios de Toronto) de poner al mono [...]

LEGO and Moleskine have gotten in bed together to create a LEGO-themed notebook series. The collection will be available in limited quantities starting March 1st of this year at Moleskine's webstore . These would be great if all they were was a Moleskine notebook with a bit of LEGO decoration, but the series is encouraging people to "think with your hands," which is a message I can get behind.

Are these the LOTR Lego minifigs? Hard to say, but if so, then good job Legos. These are quite nice and will make some grown-up nerd with a son very, very, happy. Where is Gollum though? [via toplessrobot ]

I hope all of you had a swell Thanksgiving -- I know I'm still stuffed after so many casseroles.

LEGO have taken a break from building stuff with plastic bricks to create a video to a new song called 'LEGO Let's Go'. It's incredible.
