A Lego Set for Budding Architects, With No Instructions


Architecture Studio, a new set from Lego, comes with 1,210 white and translucent bricks. More notable is what it lacks: namely, instructions for any single thing you’re supposed to build with it. Instead, the kit is accompanied by a thick, 277-page guidebook filled with architectural concepts and building techniques alongside real world insights from prominent architecture studios from around the globe. In other words, this box o’ bricks is a little different. Where past Lego products might have had the happy ancillary effect of nurturing youngsters’ interest in architecture, here, that’s the entire point.

Prince Starts Using Twitter


Prince, the artist formerly known as distrustful of the internet, has come to the dark side. As of last night, he's now an active user of that thing called Twitter, posting messages from the account of his group 3rd Eye Girl. His approach thus far is that of any self-respecting Twitter user (just kidding, no such thing): part self-promotional, part funny. My favorite is, "1st selfie #selfie" which just links to a photo of smoke. Now we just need to get Jennifer Lawrence signed up for this thing.
