Lego Camera Obscura by Sabino for Lollapalooza Chile:
A few weeks ago Lego told me they were sponsoring Lollapalooza Chile festival, and they asked if I had any ideas for the kids area. We ended up doing a little workshop where kids could learn how to assemble cameras obscuras (pinhole cameras) with Legos, along with a little talk about how cameras work. We had a great time and kids loved them, haha.

Just make sure not to lose his legs or else you’ll be singing the homeless person song from Kids: “I have no legs. I have no legs.”
I will buy them all and there will be collateral damage for anyone that gets in my way, just like a woman at a deeply discounted Louboutin sale. Don’t get in my way and there won’t be problems.
On a more serious note, this is one of the coolest collaborations that I’ve seen in a very long time. DC + Superheroes + LEGOs + NY Comic Con + exclusive = Must have. The only thing that would top this would be if Marvel does something equally as covet-worthy. We’ll just have to wait and see. Coolne.ws will be reporting from the trenches, bringing you all breaking info from NYCC.

Three LEGO figurines are traveling to Jupiter, affixed to the space probe “Juno.” The models represent the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, the Roman god Jupiter, and the Roman goddess Juno.
Created by LEGO on a special commission from NASA, the three figures are composed of aluminum, created at a cost of about 5,000 USD each. Special manufacturing was required to ensure that the figurines do not interfere with the spacecraft’s sensitive measurements and instruments.
“Juno” is expected to arrive on Jupiter in July of 2016, where the solar-powered probe will collect information about the planet, its moons, and atmosphere over the course of one year. It is scheduled to launch aboard the unmanned ‘Atlas V’ rocket at 11:40 AM EDT on August 5th.
