Yes, those are LEGO ® people in the September 12 post's photos.
"A Daily Dose of Architecture (Almost) daily architectural musings from New York City" is a bit more, I think the word is artistic, than I prefer, but it's a well-illustrated blog.
The September 9 post, "Jihad Pop" (I'm not making this up) includes this excerpt from statement from the "artist's statement:"
"Jihad Pop exists as a means to explore how issues of identity and associations define themselves. Where do I belong when past associations of both family and lifestyle breakdown and begin to form new negotiations based on personal values. The personal symbols that I have acquired through my own values play out simultaneously with symbols of Islamic religion and death as a symbol of struggle. The meeting of these two words ‘jihad’ and ‘pop’ is the marriage of this exploration of identity and the simultaneous broadcast of imagery of violence, conflict and migration."
Now, by contemporary definitions, that's art!
The images in the September 9 post were quite impressive. "Interior Courtyard 2, 2006, from the series Jihad Pop Progression 5" reminded me of the landscapes of Theodore Geisel.

Today's News! Some of it, anyway
Actually, some of yesterday's news may be here. Or maybe last week's.
The software and science stuff might still be interesting, though. Or not.
