Cool Lego Hot Rod

My kids and I build with Lego all the time - we even have a robotics set which we use to build programmable cars. My oldest likes to build dragsters, and they're pretty cool, but this Lego hotrod is simply mindblowing - looks like they've even used stock bricks (although some of them are probably fairly hard to find). There are a bunch of detailed photos here.

World's Greatest Music Collection On Ebay - 3.3 Million Records/CDs

I don't have a spare $3 million, or a spare warehouse, for this huge collection, but take a look at this auction on Ebay. 3 million LP's, 300,000 CD's and loads of 7"s and 78's. Check out the Q&A as well.

Amazing Staircase Bookshelf

When we moved into a new house a couple of years ago I was able to reduce my book collection by 2/3, but if we hadn't moved, our old house had a stairs that would have been perfect for this sort of thing. I like how they made little areas on each step that allow you to sit and select a book from each "shelf", as well as the skylight that brings light into the whole area.

Fugly $140,000 Hot Wheels Car

I'm perfectly happy with the $0.99 Hot Wheels cars that my kids buy at the local grocery store - $140k could buy you a pretty sweet REAL car, that you can actually drive and stuff..... (Gizmodo)

Turkish Star Wars Movie (aka Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam)

This is just way beyond bad - Ed Wood used plenty of stock footage in his films, but whoever put together this Turkish sci-fi film went WAY beyond that - they used a ton of footage from Star Wars, inserted some Turkish actors and dialogue, added a dash of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Phantom of the Opera theme music, and voila - they had a movie! I have to admit, I didn't make it all the way through, but I'm sure you'll find lots of other borrowed material in this little gem.

Las Vegas - Rockabilly Rave USA + Mondo Lounge In Early October

Mark your calendars - in early October there will be two great festivals going on in Las Vegas - Rockabilly Rave USA and Mondo Lounge. I had already made plans to go to the rockabilly fest, either as a vendor or just as a spectator, but I just got word that there will be a second festival in Las Vegas that weekend. As if there wasn't enough to do in Las Vegas! Just cruise on over to the two websites and see for yourself. I'm not sure if I'll be going on my own, with my wife, or with the whole family. If this wasn't enough for you, or you're looking for some side trips to do while in Vegas, check out Trusted Tours & Attractions - they've got all kinds of helicopter tours, trips out to Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon, and much more. Las Vegas is known for it's adult activities, but Trusted Tours & Attractions has plenty of family vacation ideas. We've done a couple of Las Vegas trips with my whole family and my mother in law, so we can do family stuff during the day and then she watches the kids at night - it all works out pretty well. Last time we all went down we had a great time seeing Tom Jones, an Elvis impersonator (I think his name was "The Dream King") and drinking while walking up and down the strip. With two great fests packed into 5 days hopefully I'll see some of you in Las Vegas in October!
