Lego Universe

When I was a kid I loved playing with Legos. I probably played with them every single day. Perhaps that's why I wanted to be an architect when I was younger. I don't know how many sets I had but they kept adding up. I had a Lego bag exactly like this one I found in somebody else's blog, but picture it completely filled edge to edge (yes I know there's really only one edge in a circle) and piled several inches deep with plastic bricks. That's what I had. No wait, that's what I still have. Maegan used to enjoy playing with them when she was younger and one day Darah can too.

Today I found an article on c|net that Lego is currently developing a MMOG called "Lego Universe". (MMOG is an acronym for Massively Multiplayer Online Game. Second Life and Club Penguin are examples of MMOGs.) I have the Lego Star Wars game for Xbox and I think it's great, so how cool would that be to build my own stuff in virtual 3D lego creations, and to interact with an entire virtual world where thousands of others have done the same? Sorry to say I wouldn't pay for it, but I would definitely check it out. Lego Universe is still two years away from any public release, but that will still be well before Darah's ready for it.

  • I still have that exact same LEGO bag! Last year I dug it out of my old closet at mom's house and gave it to the kids.
