Here Endeth The Netwurker Input…

Along the lines of “Here Endeth The Lesson“, the above title simply means that darling Rosiex will be back in ye olde Geekgirl saddle as of tomorrow. Thanks all + Thank You, Mario [you'll totally get that random reference in a sec, I promise].

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my shiny time playing Guest Editor + leave you with [what else?] a Super Mario Brothers text screen generated screenbyte [via @__nkO]:

THANK YOU GEEKGIRLERS!

The Story of Gusty and Ford

[The following is a type of latent design morality tale concerning observation: train yourself to look + you never know what might eventuate;) Oh + it should be viewed with the following warning in mind - there's a few mild "adult concepts" involved, so view at your own risk.]

“This film is about the way you see more when you walk – in this case, the way you look at road signs. I didn’t drive anywhere to shoot any of these road signs. Most of them I walked to and one of them was in Norway and turned out to be quite a long walk especially carrying a camera.”

A Real House Built Entirely from LEGO

Now I’ve heard of some kerazzy geek schemes in my time, but building an *entire* house out of LEGO seems to take the nerd-cake. Don’t get me wrong, the complete brilliance of the concept itself is staggering, but the actual execution seems….ridiculously ambitious?:

“This two-story Lego palace, which resides in the middle of a vineyard, sports a working bathroom, and is covered inside and out with bricks pieced together by 272 Legos. Over three million bricks were used to build the Lego pad, so doing some quick math here — that’s over 816 million Lego pieces! Sheesh. I wonder what they’ll do with the Legos once James moves out?”
