Lego will stop producing its electronic parts, this means no more Mindstorms. The will focus on core business, building blocks for children. The reason isn’t that hard to guess, they are loosing money, FAST. 🙁
In my opinion Lego is on of the best toys ever invented. Cannot governments in the western world go in and help the company? Only half joking….

Work at Lego?
I am very fascinated by Lego. Have been since I before I can remember anything else. I got my first technology Lego box when I was 5 years old (a GoCart designed for 9+) and it is definitely one of the first christmas presents I can remember. Tovah, my daughter is also very attracted to Lego and a fun thing is that she builds more with the tech parts than the normal bricks. Fun fun fun for the whole family.
Anyhow, yesterday I found this page about Jamie that went for an interview to work as Master Builder at Lego. Fun reading!!
Gone
Just watched another 3 episodes of Angel Season 2. There are some whacky episodes here, like e.g. the halloween episode I watched yesterday.
Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I will be gone from cyberspace until Friday evening because I am going with the Media Technology division to Brändön for our Winter Retreat! We will do some dog sledge riding, hot tub bathing (outdoors of course), sauna bathing and ice bathing, eat tons of good food and of course, work a bit as well.
Have fun and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!
More January Pictures

Apple iLife
Watching this ad for Apple iLife almost makes want to throw out my PC and switch to a Mac again. The new GarageBand looks really cool. The only problem with using a Mac is that it integrates so badly with the Windows world. Apple might claim that it is the other way around, but come on, Apple is the challenger here and if MS breaks the standards rules then Apple have to follow them to be part of the game.
Anyhow check out this ad!
Marratech on Apple Developers Website
