Sponsored Video: Get Paid to Explore Paradise with Your Friends or Family
This is a sponsored post that I’ve written on behalf of TomTom for Unruly. All opinions are 100% my own. TomTom is hoping to expand its mapping data, and you could be chosen to drive around one of five paradise islands. In order to create accurate maps, field work is required. What better way to [...]

Is There a LEGO Apple Store Set? Kinda.
Some would call it an unhealthy obsession – I would prefer to refer to it as a hobby. LEGO isn’t for some. Those who cannot accommodate bricks must continue to put up with people like me (who, by the way, are not responsible for gigantic minifigs washing up on Florida shorelines). We need some kind [...]
Nobody Expects the LEGO Inquisition
While I did happen to enjoy a few random episodes of Monty Python’s Flying Circus on PBS when it aired, I couldn’t understand half of it. The troupe’s thick British accents were not half as challenging to interpret as their somewhat-foreign, albeit clearly offbeat, humor humour. It wasn’t until my early days at college (before [...]
This Can Mean Only One Thing: LEGO Droid Invasion
I still have mixed emotions about “Episode I: The Phantom Menace.” I want to love it, but at this point I think I’m going to have to settle for a tepid like. I recall living in an apartment at the time a pop music radio station played “Duel of the Fates” for the first time. [...]
Indiana Jones and the Adventure of LEGO Minifigs
When “Raiders of the Lost Ark” was first released, I was still in grade school. I remember sitting in the back seat of my mother’s old (yes, even old by that day’s standards) Volkswagen Rabbit and being told that while she and Dad would be seeing the new movie in theaters, my brothers and I [...]
LEGO Convention in Seattle: Brickcon!
While I have certainly known about LEGO for a number of years, I can’t say that most of my adult life was spent with bricks. It wasn’t until the social network FriendFeed came about that I started to become interested in LEGO as a post-pubescent. There, some people were regularly sharing MOC (My Own Creation) [...]
Star Wars Advent Calendar is Jediriffic Year-Round
I got a LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar! The idea of using an Advent calendar once held deep, religious significance for me – but since evolving into a non-Catholic, I only seem to appreciate the winter Holiday season for nostalgic reasons. I love the sights and sounds of Christmas, but… not its largely-borrowed-by-Christianity foundation. As [...]
Building Egyptian Pyramids is Easy… with LEGO
I’ve never been to Egypt, but I’ve watched plenty of documentaries and informational shows about it to know everything there is to possibly know about its history. Okay, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch – but I’m sure you feel like you’re in the same boat as far as Egyptology is concerned. Unless you’re [...]
Ancient Aliens Are Invading… LEGO?
As to how we wound up with consciousness on this globe, there are quite a few theories floating around. One such theory is that very long ago (like, long before Abe Vigoda), creatures from another dimension / galaxy / planet / universe visited Earth. I don’t know if this theory holds water, but it sure [...]
LEGO Police Videos Are Yours for the Making
I’ve never been in trouble with the law – other than receiving a few speeding tickets. After watching all the cop dramas and prison exposés on television, it’s a wonder anybody would commit a crime anymore. Sure, you have a few errant “bad cops,” but most police officers are good guys (and gals). I happened [...]
LEGO Creators Don’t Need Instructions
I’ve heard a few people complain that LEGO isn’t what it used to be – a random series of multi-colored bricks which encouraged a person to use their imagination to complete the assembly of any given construct. Yeah, that’s how LEGO sets were when I first learned of them (as a child long ago, mind [...]
How to Watch Live TV on the iPhone
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of MobiTV. All opinions are 100% mine. We’ve all had it happen at one point or another. There’s something you really wanted to watch on TV, but you’re either on the road or someone else is hogging the set in your living room. Do you [...]
