This one brick changed the world of creativity as we know it.
Without this brick most of us wouldn't be here on this website.
With this brick we can make anything we imagine.
This brick is the reason we do what we do.
With out Ole Kirk Christiansen's marvelous invention none of us would be doing what we are doing right now.
As many of you guys know August 9th was the 80th birthday of Lego.
I never got to do anything for it ,but now I got the chance.
This one brick changed us.
Aren't you glad Kirk Christiansen didn't give up even after two factory fires?
If he gave up then we wouldn't see these bricks in our rooms in tubs and piles.
As the Grandson of Kirk Christiansen said "I just wish my Grandpa was here to see how big this little plastic brick became."
If I had one wish it would be to thank Kirk for what he made, and that he never gave up on something that he believed in , because I think he believed in one thing that Thomas Wayne said in Batman Begins " Why do we fall?, so we can get back up again." aren't you glad Kirk got back up again?
Motography Field Trip with the Sackville Photography Club. A great little photo walk through downtown Dartmouth and photographing with my little ol' iPod Touch.
Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not,
though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from
daily life that one exists for other people.

Built in September 2016. What started as an overnight effort to copy my oldest son's Cub Scout Pinewood Derby car in LEGO form to surprise him the next morning quickly grew to include additional models over the course of the following week.
More models to come!

A brick is a block made of clay burnt in a kiln. It is one of the primary building materials known to mankind. Over time, bricks have appeared, gained prominence, lost importance and then come to the forefront again with various styles of architecture. Burnt bricks were used in ancient Indian, Babylon, Egypt and Roman civilizations. They are still being used as filler materials for framework structures as well as to construct load bearing structures. Down the ages, there have been various interesting historic and cultural references to bricks.
Brick kiln labourers form a large portion of workers in the informal sector in India. Workers, who are usually from the poorest sections of Indian society, are recruited against a loan by labour contractor or employer, which they have to repay by working for them. However, as they lose control over the debt and cannot leave until the employer decides when it’s paid off, they cannot realistically leave the ‘employment’. They are bonded labours.
The working and living conditions are sometimes extremely harsh. As workers usually live within the kiln, there are high levels of hazardous substances such as arsenic, burnt plastic and dust. Workers, including children, are frequently injured at work. The average working day consists of 15-16 hours and the great majority of children do not attend school or have any play time. The accommodation is usually overcrowded, commonly with several families living together in one single room, with outdoor toilets.
Kiln workers have little or no knowledge of their basic rights, entitlements and bonded labour prohibitions. Being from the most vulnerable segments of society and lacking organisation, bonded labourers remain “invisible” to the authorities.
