We have been having Lego camp at Grandmother's all summer!

They were smart to do the brand tie-ins to stay relevant. My son will make the Star Wars version first and then modify them all his own custom jobs. -> To H-E- double hockey sticks with those bootleg mega blocks. (my opinion). It is interesting that your son catalogs all the parts first. I think I may try that with my kid. Have you and Anthony tried K'Nex? We play with these as a supplement to our Lego addiction. They do fit w/ lego blocks but allow for some really neat child engineering projects that are just the right amount of intentional extra difficulty. <span class='jfriedl'>The cataloging of parts this time was the first he'd ever done that. Had not heard of K'Nex.... will check them out. —Jeffrey</span> In the age of video games and online friends, I still think Legos hold their own.

Is it a plug-in or something of your own design? I geotag all my shots and I'm ing to figure out how to display a map link. Thanks for any help! <span class='jfriedl'>I run a little script on the images I intend to post about, which creates the HTML for the images in the post, including the Exif data and links. —Jeffrey</span> Unrelated to the post but how do you get your exif on the bottom of photos?

I would have expected him to have it assembled in the time it took to organize it. How and why did he wait? And while we're on the subject, why wasn't it assembled on the ride home? And what only one 2 X 4 X 3 brick? (More commonly know as a 2 X 4, of course that neglects the height) Lego is just not like it used to be, way too many specialty parts. Ironic that Megablocks now makes the most LEGO like lego.* Although since this is a Star Wars piece I suppose LEGO Company had to work around the design. *A few months ago in Wal-mart I saw a massive thing of Megablocks lego in classic shapes, the ones you can actually build stuff with, for $40. <span class='jfriedl'>Wasn't built on the ride home because he's not allowed to open it in the car. He decided he wanted to sort all the pieces before building this time because, I suppose, it allowed him to savor the experience longer. —Jeffrey</span> So, why is it all on the floor sorted?
