Lego and metal: the book

Just when you thought lego couldn’t get any cooler, a stop motion video clip to Dream Evil’s hilariously cool Book of Heavy Metal:

YouTube – in the book of heavy metal

Found via MTV’s Headbangers’ Blog. Thing is, over there they don’t hold Dream Evil in quite the same reverence that we do over here. In fact, they bandy around the words “ridiculous” and “absurd”, describing “shrieking vocals, riffs stolen straight from Judas Priest, hysterical demon voices and a wondrously fist-in-the-sky chorus“. And they say it like it’s a bad thing.

Maybe they’re not as hardcore as they think they are.

This is kick-arse:

YouTube – Lego Millenium Falcon Stop Motion

Dave has that model… as well as about 40 litres of other Star Wars lego. Since we moved into our house, three and a half years ago, it has stayed, disassembled, in the crate.

Might be time to get it out again soon!

My new baby arrived today!

The photo above is an attempt to establish scale, against Dave’s 15″ notebook. This little beast has a 8.9″ screen and weighs in at just 1kg, making it a cross between an oversized UMPC and a small TabletPC. Machine name is “Leviathan”

It’s very small and very cool. Notice the fingerprints all over it already.
