I can remember making minuature lego walkers (complete with four legs that you could move to ‘walk’) and wondering what it would take to actually build a real star-wars style AT-AT Walker. I figured I’d need a lot more parts that I wasn’t going to have, so I didn’t think about it much. I enjoyed my own walkers anyway.

I haven’t really thought about this much until I found out that lego has a Star Wars AT-AT kit. That actually walks; they motorized it. For only $130.

Oh for the want of just a little bit more space!

This weekend we went to the Tour de Fat; put up a page with pictures.

There are some links on the page to the newspaper article & event homepage; they explain it best. But, in summary, it was a bicycle parade with 4,000+ riders, a “bicycle carnival, a pedal-powered imaginative chaos of creativity”. Something New Belgium Brewery got started.

It was wild.

ps – for those coders out there, please excuse my makeshift code. It was late, I was handcoding, and I just wanted it all done fast.
