Cheezer and Louzer

The boy and I have become major Lego fans in the last year or so, so this artcile was very interesting. It’s all about the making of Lego bricks.

I thought it was neat. Legoland near us here has a nice little “factory tour” they’ve setup with machines that are just like the real ones shown in the pictures here, if you ever get the chance to check it out.

This article really interests me, even though this is not a new topic:

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20061125-9999-1n25ewaste.html

It tries to answer the question of where all the old computers and TV s go when we no longer want them.
And more good reading on this topic:

Where PCs go to die

Pictures of the waste processing that goes on in China and Nigeria

A Seattle Times article from this year

Info on Dell’s recycling program. (note that they never say what they do with the e-waste.)

The boy has some great words only he says:

casplode

casperiment

honormous

impornant

Example — “It’s impornant that you don’t do casperiments with fire or they might make a honormous casplosion!”

vigenegar

really tired – as in, “My grandpa Larry doesn’t go to work because he is really tired now.”
I’ll add others as I think of them. If you’ve heard him say any, add them to the comments here.

Wikipedia has a page listing San Diego bands.
