Taking to the Airwaves
Last week I was lucky enough to be asked to appear on the The Roger Kingkade Podcast. Roger is a radio personality here in Calgary, and an extremely nice guy. We chatted for an hour, about Lego and other things.
Be warned, there is some language and content that isn’t appropriate for the little ones.

Happy Holidays – Rudolph Mosaic
Hi everyone, i’m a little late in posting these, but the holidays always seem to run away from me! This year I made a mosaic for the season, based on the Rankin-Bass Rudolph and Hermie. It took a bit of effort to get things the way that I wanted them, but I’m pleased with the outcome. I also added an LED to Rudolph’s nose, though it’s tricky to see with the flash photography. I’ll try to post some video so you can see it a little more clearly.
Happy holidays to you all, especially all my new friends in the AFOL community! 
Brickwares Interview
Here is the Interview I shot with CBC Calgary in October 2009. It was a great experience, and I liked that my son and erstwhile assistant got to be a part of it. Next up, Global News wants to do a piece about the mosaics. Should happen in mid Dec.
Voyage To The Moon – BrickCon2009 Winner Best Art – Guy Himber
By far the best thing about BrickCon2009 was the chance to meet and talk to other AFOL (Adult Fans Of LEGO). One of the many builders I was lucky enough to sit next to was Guy Himber of V&A Steamworks. Guy was busily rebuilding some of his pieces for the show, and he and I chatted for a while, about LEGO, creations and the general awesomenessiocity(TM) of the works around us. Coincidentally, one of his pieces was next to “To The Stars”. But it was the sheer superbitudeiness(TM) of “Voyage to the Moon” that brought it the “Best in Art” trophy.

To The Stars – Winner BrickCon 2009 Best Mosaic
Back from Seattle, with an award. I’m honoured and amazed.
Order Up!
I’m not sure what exactly set me off on this idea, but I suspect it was the City Corner set, which includes a small pizza place. I had the idea to create a commercial kitchen in Lego. I know, you’re thinking, “but Dave, this is not a mosaic”. Indeed, I say…Indeed.

Chauchilla Cemetery Battle
It’s been a while since the last update, I’ve been busy launching The Correctness, which I highly recommend you all check out.
Lots of Indiana Jones set reviews here, it seems, but that makes sense, with my son being crazy about them. Today’s set is the Chauchilla Cemetery Battle (7196).
This set contains some great elements, including a motorcycle, and some skull-faced baddies.
