So, by this time I’m sure that many of you are at least aware of the what happened at NIU on thursday. It was a crazy day there were all sorts of things going on. Over the course of the day I took a few pictures to document the tragedy.

I hope everyone starts feeling better

if you are anything like me you have probably wondered what it’s like to work as a designer at Lego. Well I just read this interview that boing boing had with Lego Bjarne P. Tvskov a designer for lego during their heyday. Check it out!

So I just read about this company called Rotoblock. The company is basaed in Santa Rosa California and is working on a type of engine called a toroidal internal combustion engine. The torodial engine made by Rotoblock is an evolution of the oscillating piston engine (O.P.E) designed by Dr. Monti Farrell.

As skeptical as I am that any of the large auto manufactures will adopt the revolutionary engine I can’t help but root for the small company.

The O.P.E seems a promising alternative to traditional reciprocating piston engines mainly because of it’s increased power to wight ratio.Given that Mazda has been using Wankel engines for some time now maybe their is some hope for Rotoblock.

How ever it turns out it’s always great to see innovation alive and well.

At the end of the tedious process of assembling and finding the various legos I took a few pictures with my camera and the awesome tripod from my aunt and uncle this christmas.Without further adieu:
