Lego Matrix Trinity Help is a fantastic stop motion video that’s been making the rounds lately.
From the creators at LegoMatrix.com:
After around 440 hours of work, and just in time for the 10th anniversary of the original movie release, we are pleased to present to you our Lego version of the famous Bullet Time dodge scene from The Matrix.

I remember one Christmas being certain that I wanted the basic lego set that I saw advertised so that I could build a giant house out of Lego. My older brother, typically, knew better and asked for Space Lego.
Luckily after a short while all the lego got mixed together and I could leave the giant multicoloured lego blocks for the more esthetically pleasing whites, greys, and blues required for intergallactic travel.
Not everyone has given up on the basic blocks:
One man is building the dream, or at least wild fantasy, of many children. James May, a toy fanatic, is constructing a two-story house out of LEGO bricks. He’s using 3 million bricks constructed out of 272 LEGO pieces each. As an added bonus, the house is located in a beautiful vineyard.
Update: Geek Sugar has a more comprehensive gallery of the place, taken in various stages as it’s being built.

A group of friends in San Fransico built a giant ball of lego, dressed one of the friends up as Indiana Jones and then had him run from the ball. “Fun times”.

On a recent episode of Mythbusters, the gang decided to find out if such a ball can actually be created:

Here is a collection of 10 extremely neat lego creations. Also on the topic of Lego, I came across an archive of lego plans from the late 70’s to today.
