Lego Fever at MAKE
The Lego Movie looks pretty good, and it has us reaching for our Lego bins and dreaming about brickfilms, those cool stop-motion Lego movies that inspired the big one.

Skating and Creating With Happy Cloud Cruiser at Maker Faire NY
At Maker Faire Bay Area this past May, MAKE videographer Nat Heckathorn and I tackled the hills of San Mateo on longboard skateboards. Well, Nat had a longboard. I had a wobbly little cruiser ill-suited to fast descents. On my second run I went down hard on my hip and up popped a grapefruit sized hematoma of swirling black and purple that lasted for weeks.
As I got ready for World Maker Faire New York, more than one colleague told me to stay away from skateboards lest I injure myself again. I complied but then I met up with Andreas Ekberg.
