LEGO Olympics

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of LEGO (see SQL Down Under podcast interview – CHECKDB, 2008, and what does Paul get up to when Kimberly’s away?). In fact the kids got me the new LEGO Volkswagen Beetle for my birthday last month – just need the time to make it!

Yesterday, fellow MVP and our good friend Greg Linwood set me some pictures of LEGO Olympics. The Hong Kong LEGO User’s Group (can you believe there’s a user group for LEGO – that’s so cool!) built a complete miniature set of Beijing Olympic buildings from LEGO. Kimberly found a link to a site with a bunch of pictures (saves me uploading them here) – check it out at http://designyoutrust.com/2008/07/29/lego-sports-city-recreates-2008-beijing-olympics/. Here’s one for you – awesome!
