<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/9581676">AFOL A Blocumentary</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/afol">AFOL</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
<p>Directed by Jess Gibson, <strong>AFOL: A Blocumentary</strong> is a 30 minute film that examines the appeal of Lego for adults, and the innerworkings and thought processes that occupy these very fans. As an AFOL myself i've heard the "but Lego is a child's toy!" on a number of occasions, and while this film does address that, it's the creations made by these people and their enthusiasm for the hobby that quickly dispel this very thinking. It's a really nice video that truly explains the appeal and joy of the brick. &nbsp;(<a href="http://www.brothers-brick.com/2010/02/19/afol-a-blocumentary-by-jess-gibson/">via</a>)</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>-</title><category term="Lego"/><category term="enthusiasm"/><category term="self"/><id>http://www.richard-am.net/journal/2010/2/14/a-lego-rose-based-on-a-design-by-joe-meno-given.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.richard-am.net/journal/2010/2/14/a-lego-rose-based-on-a-design-by-joe-meno-given.html"/><author><name>RichardAM</name></author><published>2010-02-14T15:18:19Z</published><updated>2010-02-14T15:18:19Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-GB"><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">A Lego Rose.</p>

<p>Proving once again that building for online Lego contests is a sport you just can't quit, FC kicks off 2010 with the biggest Pirate theme contest the interwebs have ever seen.

<p>Again with the end-of-year wrap ups. In a year where a lot of time has been spent with Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and Cut Copy, i'll be honest, i'm a little behind. That aside, here's a nifty little Spotifty playlist of the songs released this year that I did like, in no particular order. 'Course, give me a few months to catch up with this year's "big thing" and it'll probably change, but hey, at least it's honest.</p>]]></content></entry></feed>
