Simpsons intro in LEGO
Urmas Salu (a teenager!) won all of $40 for this re-enactment of The Simpsons opening sequence in LEGO. Watching it makes me ridiculously happy. via Boing Boing

Custom LEGO Watchmen Owlship
Crazed LEGO fan Chris Doyle has done an awesome job in creating this custom Nite Owl Owlship from the Watchmen comic (and upcoming film). I love how some builders go so far as to mock up packaging. Now that’s dedication. The Watchmen: Nite-Owl’s Owlship
Ohmu in LEGO
Big-X made a wonderful model of the Ohmu from Miyazaki’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. He has some other incredible models in his Brickshelf gallery, too.
LEGO sport city
The Beijing Olympics inspired the Hong Kong LEGO Users Group to build the incredibly detailed LEGO Sport City – here’s the flickr set. They used 300,000 bricks and 4,500 mini-figures! Via Metafilter
LEGO pin plotter
Check out this nifty LEGO NXT printer, a “needle plotter” with a …er… prickable area of 90 x 70mm at 33 pricks per inch. NXT pin-plotter III [via Hack-a-Day]
Oh, the trudgery!
I love the way this LEGO NXT beastie walks – he’s so expressive! Via NXT Step
Slide rule clock prototype
Mitch writes in about Greg Blonder, who made this prototype slide rule clock with LEGO Mindstorms. The positioning of the two rules makes up the hours and minutes. I like the idea of sketching in a platform like Mindstorms; it sure beats building an entire custom circuit just for a proof-of-concept prototype.
