LEGO this, LEGO that, LEGO and make something clever, just like British artist Aaron Savage did. He recreated seminal album covers out of his childhood obsession. Hmmm, Aaron, please do a LEGO version of Coldplay next. It would probably have more charisma than the real thing. Read more

The final battle between Neo and Agent Smith recreated in LEGOs. Do you need more info than that? Umm … The Matrix. You know, the little movie franchise from a couple years ago.

Yay, a functional Wii remote made out of LEGOs! More infantile crap that grown men will buy! Do they have Superman footie pajamas in XXL? Those will go great with my race-car bed-frame.

I’m about to spend a week or so on the reefs of Oahu, so maybe I’m over-excited. But surfers and artists alike will find amusement and maybe some inspiration in this stop-motion film telling the story of surf trips and waves in a plastic world.

Word on the street is that directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are in ‘final negotiations’ to make Lego: The Movie, the ultimate tribute to the brilliant rebranded play thing. But, really, can they improve upon this effort already out there — The Deranged Lego Movie — by Legoreel? Only time, and a heaping of plastic fantastic, will tell.

These Lego salt and pepper shakers are a great stocking stuffer or kitschy joke gift, not so much for people who use a lot of salt and pepper. But hey, you can’t please both the kid and the foodie in everyone.

Designers Rikako Nagashima and Hideto Hyoudou collaborated to create these amazing mirrors that look like they’re dripping water. They even come with puddles to be installed on the floor below them. Read more

Peter Nalitch is Russia’s answer to Manu Chao. His video for the song Guitar is a Borat-like jab at low-budget, post-Soviet awkwardness — absurd English lyrics, Eurotrash earnestness, bad wipes, and cheap subtitles. But its tongue-in-cheekness is quite apparent, and the song is disarmingly catchy and romantic.
It seems only fitting that New York’s first eco dining experience, Habana Outpost, is located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Read more
Every year we get a new one, every year we play it safe. So, this year, why not open your mind a little and get hold of one of these tasteless date makers. If nothing else, it’ll be a very good conversation starter. Read more
I stumbled across the Hello, Blue Roses track, My Shadow Falls, the other week and it set my ears alight, this subtle but beautiful song and its cascading melodic line which will at once ingrain yourself in your inner-ear iPod and then disappear out the other end, leaving only the sweetest of memories.

It doesn’t transform or actually play music, but this watch with a face that looks like a cassette tape, is still pretty cool. Read more
