The great thing about LEGO bricks is that they can be used to build lots of different things from the same parts. Take this as an example: Martin Latta used the pieces from a 7685 Dozer kit to build a Star Wars pod racer.

Although this isn’t the first iPod/iPhone dock that’s made out of LEGOs, it’s certainly an interesting design, especially if you want a unique-looking dock and you’ve got a bunch of spare LEGOs in the house. Compared with some of the previous models we’ve seen, this one looks pretty simple to construct.

Monday
Today I had 2 milk teas, 1 banana smoothie, 3 pieces of a light birthday cake (mine), rice with Thai minced meat and beef at Thai Heaven, which is around the corner. The birthday dinner with the wife was nice. We also had some pork stay and crab moon cakes.
The cake was the size of a small plate and was from the Forumosa. It was extremely light, not very sweet, but delicious.
Tuesday
Today I had 2 milk teas, 1 banana smoothie, 2 nectarines. For diner, I had 3 chicken wraps with some thicker Dan Bings. Wow, they tasted amazing. The thicker Dan Bings make the chicken wrap taste a lot better.
It was a stressful day, but eventually, it all worked out. I met a really annoying Taiwanese man today. I don’t want to meet him again. It’s going to be hard though and frankly, at the end of the day, I don’t have much patience.
This is what I tweeted about today…

I don’t know why there aren’t more cables that light up, but I have to say that these iPod/iPhone charging cables look pretty sweet.
