Display for ToroLUG at Sherway Gardens Lego Store
This is the display for January 2014 at Sherway Gardens. I tried to pick significant innovations which have been invented, designed or built in Canada or by Canadians. To represent them, I tried to pick more generic designs which people would immediately identify visually instead of the original object: For example, the telephone is a modern one, even though Bell's original invention looks nothing like it.
One of my favourite memories was the 1984 Lego World Show which featured invention models as well.
Telephone (1876)
Basketball (1891)
Snowmobile (1937)
G-Suit (1941)
Canola Oil (1970)
Canadarm (1981)
BlackBerry (1999)

A scottish inventor and engineerer who was also a miner for gold and jewels wanted to create a locomotive cart, he came out with the first train which became a big project in the Americas. The modern age was born as the first train rolled through the west with steam rising in the air. The age of engineering and invention as it was known, rose the world into a period of construction. Through the invention of the airplane was also the invention of the helicopter, the private jet and the passanger plane. Wars and revolutions were fought all through the 19th century, movements began to rise and monarchy was replaced by politics. Ugly factor of war brought tanks, aerial combat and battleships into play plus the most deadly of all, the atomic bomb (precursor to the nuclear bomb) which brought in WMDs. War went from radical uprisings, to extremeist movements to terrorism. The American Revolution brought freedom, the Texas Revolution brought governmental and constitutional purity. Government was introduced by modernists which was a concept where leaders are given powerful positions to make laws and hear the people's decision. Weapons of warfare advanced as quickly going from time consuming muskets to auto rifles and machine guns, the castle age found poetry, fairytales and holidays. The late castle age created folk songs whereas the modern age created popular songs, best-selling novels, master poets, innovative cinematographers and awesome artists. Many wars brought changes in our world like the Civil War which caused a split in the government creating political parties. Popular culture surged in hipsterdom, the first hipsters started in Europe after the American Civil War known as Cabaret which spread to America. The Wright Brothers, Amelia Earnhart, Louis Pasteur, Ford, Elvis Prestly, John Lennon, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Neil Armstrong, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Kurt Cobain, Selena, President Ronald Raegan, Bob Hope, John Wayne, Johnny Cash and Bill Gates were some major and revolutionairy names in a world of creative, innovative, inventive and world changing people. Ford was the founder of the first automobile that changed transportation forever! Along came the first steel structure that manuevered on wheels called the bike, by the 40s the motorbike was released and by the 90s the speedbike often known as the Kawasaki came along. The ending of the Civil War brought the industrial revolution which led to the industrial era which was a time that factories rose up and steel was put to use for construction. The unexpected world wars brought devastation instead of prosperity, America's first landed them into The Great Depression which effected the whole world. Then World War 2 started by the infamous Adolf Hilter, the slayer of Jews led to the Nazi regimes' collapse. The starting of the 20th century led to the existence of progressivism which is made of many failed political ideas like regimism, imperialism, communism, monarchism and socialism. Also it was the rise of the conservative philosophy which meant to be frugal with our economy and preserve rights as well as tradition. Political corruption existed as early as the 1880's but awaited for its chance to announce itself as a so-called movement for change. Social, folk-wise and rank-wise segregation came to its peak leading away from the compassion and humane values our world once bore. Europe brought over the new 'class system' which seperated between upper, middle and lower class or 'rich, working and ghetto class'. Kids of rich families who for the longest time attended private schools became indifferent towards lesser society. The 40's revived the hipster craze which went on for a long time with the zoot suits, pop-culture itself was born into our society. Even after slavery was abolished, indifference of race or folkage was still in play. The 50's brought America's ultimate time of prosperity and wealth, the 60's was a time for movements and change in our society where indifference was needed to put a halt to. The 60's also brought in a massive shift in our world from a primitive globe to a civilized one, the first man on the moon brought the opening of a new era also known as the digital era where everything turned to digital production and eniacs came into the public. The 70's pushed from eniacs to computers, digitalized music came into existence called disco which long preluded a style of music that would rule the futuristic age. The brown box was created and eventually brought forth the console system which gave birth to video gaming. Major industries in video gaming were Atari, Nintendo and eventually Sega... Later came Playstation and Xbox. Music started being recorded onto big black vinyl record players but advanced to tapes and eventually CDs. The computer evolved into the PC which operated on Tandy and IBM systems before the arrival of Apple and Microsoft Windows. Games like rugby, basketball, hockey and otherwise ball or non-ball sports even games involving competetive skills were founded in the 1870s. Music went from the folk songs of the 19th century to dance, country, pop and rock music of the 20th century. Rock music has had a long evolutionairy chain going from Rockabilly to New Age rock. Rock music is considered the music of the modern age that ultimately attracts troubled and non-conforming teens. The late 60's started a music cultural movement that set the pace to today, the yuppies who were once rebellious but sold out becoming corperate executives, hollywood film producers, record company masters, gaming company presidents and government officials; the yippies who were also rebellious became the anarchists, activists, extremeists and radicalists of today. College and schooling which were just starting in the 1600s became the highest form of education in our modern world. Social segregation came into the teens of pop-culture which came into fruition by the later 90's dividing the troubled teens from the popular teens. The troubled teens were ousted as 'freaks' and 'rejects' because they didn't belong in society in the eyes of the popular kids. The popular teens were also banished for being 'posers' and 'mall-kids' because they couldn't understand nor bothered to know the inside out of counter-culture. Segregation led to prejudism and then led to violent acts as well as massacres and hate crime murder. Fashions advanced through the 80's which became a spur known as the peak of modern fashion. Entertainment reached its peak by the 90's as did culture. The opening of the new millennium caused the opening of new ideas, new movements and new things. Though Karl Marx is secretively the founder of Atheism a belief not seen since the prime age, it sprung out of the closet by the new millennium as did rockaholism. In the 80's, rich kids or preppy culture came out of the closet along with homosexuals. Awareness about hermaphrodytes, genderless, deformed and sensitive people of different sexual orientations was raised. Major authors like J.R.R. Tolkien made their genre huge by a single set of novels, Tolkien made fantasy very popular, Gene Roddenberry was the creator of the highly imaginative sci-fi show Star Trek which lunged science-fiction into popularity, George Lucas was a phenomenal pioneer of cinematography and founder of sci-fi/fantasy crossover with his first hit Star Wars, Anne Rice was a master at dark fiction which her famous series 'The Vampire Chronicles' which made dark fiction and vampirism wildly popular afterwards, Hironobu Sakaguchi helped to give a fantasy twist on the fantasy/sci-fi crossover and created the most popular JRPG of all time Final Fantasy, Shel Silverstein is the master of bizarre fiction with a light in the attic creating outrageous and bizarre child minded scenarios that became a hit like 'where the wild things are', stan lee is the mastermind behind very popular comic books of the marvel set, bob kane became a major artist in the noir fiction universe, robert jordan became a major influental author for many of today's movie makers; authors and animators, Shirou Masamune became the master of CG animation with his series Ghost in the Shell and made CG animation a hit for modern art, Hayao Miyazaki is the one who brought anime into popularity in the U.S. through his amazing disney animes that tell wonderful stories, Alfred Hitchcock spurred the addiction of watching horror films around Halloween time and made horror a popular genre of fiction, Raon Harwood mastered and brought popularity to a newly arrived fiction called Dream Fiction which stood next to sci-fi and fantasy in appeal and lastly Ang Lee is considered a mastermind behind foreign films being Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon broke the boring formula of most foreign filming and made them recognizable. Fictional lore for dark fiction was mastered by Whitewolf studios giving a set rule for vampires and werewolves alike. EA brought PC gaming into the big leagues as much as Nintendo did for consoles, Blizzard revolutionised RPGs and Bioware perfected them, Activision made gaming fun for all ages and people of different walks of life, id Software brought violent video games into recognition whereas Ubisoft upped the performance of action games. Since rock'n'roll was modern music, acoustic guitars were considered classics when the electric guitar was invented by the 50's and he grit guitar by the 80's. DJing was a big hit for people of the nightlife, DJs were recognized for running the radio, the TV music videos, bringing groove to the clubs and doing mix ups for the sake of enjoyment. Mechs are an invention meant to replace task force being on the ground, thus they get to be in fully armored machine artillary with legs and arms. The media itself has shifted since the day the TV happened, the TV made it possible to view entertainment from another part of the world right on the set. The telephone, air conditioner and all the things of luxury we have today are a result of innovative inventors. The media began industrial, where everything was black and white and sound wasn't there yet, but when sound was possible the language was kept child friendly and morally straight material. The Mainstream media came in the 70s to replace the need for child safe material so adults and teens could have material they could enjoy too. The mainstream allowed profanity, sexual ambiguity and violence to be shown but overall it only allowed the most popular and top rated to be shown keeping some real entertainment away. The independent media was created as a way to allow people who didn't want fame to be heard and shown, it also took on the old ethic of the industrial media to keep television clean as a whistle. The underground media was created by those would didn't want to be bound by the moral rules of the independent media nor the conforming rules of the mainstream a chance to make it in the world of entertainment. Suddenly some bits of futuristic inventions came forward such as MP3 pods, HDTV, Blue Ray, the flying car, eco/hybrid cars, mopeds, lasers, 3D entertainment, MMO worlds, Web 2.0, auto wheel chairs, GPS, voice response technology, robots and virtual glasses. The modern age is soon ending and problems of the past will hopefully be laid to rest.

An old character. She may be making an appearance in The Otherwalls, so I thought I'd sketch her. I've ended up experimenting with colours on her too, trying out a new technique.

Um... no, I have no idea what this is.
I found it Son's room. I believe Hubby gave it to Son a Christmas or two ago. Both are Mechanical Engineers.
As neither is around at the moment, and I really need to get this uploaded, you'll have to wait to find out what it is.
Unless you already know, then by all means share!
2020 Weekly Alphabet Challenge - I is for Invention
I'm sure somebody was really proud inventing... whatever-this-is!

Magnetic Polarized lens. A great invention for my Cannon PowerShot. It comes with a magnetic ring that you attach to the front of the camera (there is no interference with the zoom movement), then this little lens can be quickly snapped on and off as needed.
