Lego House, a giant playhouse dubbed the ‘Home of the Brick,’ is now open

Lego’s hometown of Billund, Denmark, is about to see a huge boost in tourism. Set just 10 minutes away from the airport, Lego House is a new 12,000-square-meter playhouse for Lego fans of all ages, including AFOLs (that’s “Adult Fans of Lego,” according to the company’s own lingo). The building, made to look like 21 Lego bricks stacked on top of each other, is topped by a 2x4 Lego block keystone. Seven years in the making and designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, the facade is comprised of clay tiles, to enhance the illusion of a giant house made of Lego. But that’s just the outside; the inside houses a store, two exhibition areas, three restaurants, four color-coded play rooms, and 25 million Lego bricks.

The red, blue, green, and yellow play areas are each supposed to represent aspects of play and learning: creative, cognitive, emotions, and social skills, respectively. There’s also two outdoor play areas for physical play and spatial awareness. Take a look at the photos below and wonder if you would have been a much more well-rounded person had you played in these experience zones when you were a kid.

1 of Personally, I’m most interested in the three Lego House restaurants: Brickaccino café, Mini Chef, and Le Gourmet. The attention to detail in Brickaccino is super cute; there are references to The Lego Movie on the menu board, which, naturally, is made of Lego. You can peep what looks to be an “Everything is Awesome” smoothie, and “Overpriced coffee” on the menu below.

Mini Chef is the family restaurant where you can build your order with four Lego bricks, feed it into the screen on the table, and watch animated lego figures “make” your food. A friendly robot waiter will then deliver your food to you via conveyor belt in an adorable Lego lunchbox.

And of course, Le Gourmet is exactly what it sounds like: an upscale Nordic / French brasserie with prices starting at $37 and up for the three- or four-course lunch menu, and $67 and up for the four- or six-course dinner menu. There’s also a full night Lego “universe” experience, which includes “bubbles, snacks, wine, coffee and petit four” for around $195. There’s little to no chance I will ever be making it out to Le Gourmet, so I hope we’ll be seeing it on Chef’s Table soon.

Entrance to the terrace, restaurants, and store are free, but admission to the experience zones is 199 Danish krone, which is approximately $31 USD. And for those of us who can’t make it out to Denmark anytime soon, Lego also has a 774-piece replica model set of the House, which is part of the Lego Architecture line.

7 Reasons why you need a Laptop Stand

Getting a laptop stand is a very good idea. So, if you still have some doubts as to why you need one take a look at these reasons: CLICKING HERE https://bit.ly/2CroWuv WILL GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF A LAPTOP STAND 1. Better Ergonomic Design: Health experts recommend that the screen of your computer should be at eye level, and your shoulders should not slump while working on it. However, when you use a laptop, both the criteria cannot be fulfilled at the same time. You can either place your laptop at eye level, or you can work with your shoulders straight. Either way, your posture is not perfect. The laptop stand for desk is designed in such a way that your laptop screen can be placed at eye level, and you can also keep your shoulders straight. This ensures that you do not experience pain in the neck and back. 2. Increased Productivity: When you work on your laptop, without using a laptop stand, you tend to get tired quickly. This is essentially because of poor posture a...

Google’s Pixel 2 will come in new ‘kinda blue’ color

On the heels of a number of other Google leaks that Droid Life published this afternoon, we now have a clear look at the forthcoming Pixel 2 . The follow-up to last year’s Google Pixel (the smaller of the two Google phones), which is being announced on October 4th, will come in three colors: kinda blue, just black, and clearly white. Droid Life says to expect roughly the same kind of pricing structure as last year’s Pixel. That means a 64GB option for $649, and a 128GB option for $749 — $200 less than the reported Pixel 2 XL pricing. Like last year’s Pixels, the Pixel 2 will be made by HTC (which Google is reportedly considering buying ). The Pixel 2 XL, however, is reportedly being manufactured by LG. Exactly how big a difference that will spell between these two phones is hard to say from the leaks alone, but it does now seem apparent they’ll be similar in design with small cosmetic disparities. ...
