The cognitive surplus. A very interesting article on why sitcoms are like gin and the internet is the growth of civil society. No really, go read it. Via copperbadge.

Interesting - not necessarily right, but interesting.
It made me think of the woman who did the Lego Cathedral, who says in the FAQ
It was about a year and a half of planning, building and photographing. It was a big project, but it was less time than most people spent watching TV during that same year and a half. I've seen other serious Lego constructors saying the same thing.

I hadn't seen that before - that's incredibly nifty. I love lego construction pictures - I used to really like the Lego Escher photos.
