You’d be surprised at how a software essentially geared toward a game can give you a lot in productivity. Lego Digital Designer is also unique because it is fun, it can be considered a game, while it can also be an important tool for Lego fans, designers and artists.

A quick download of the application will enable you to build any Lego model you want, with more than 700 brick types to choose from I’m sure you can think of something to build.This tool could bring Lego more into the lives of today’s digital generation, no matter how great games become, Lego is still my favorite. Heck, I still play with Lego today, although nowadays I buy Technic almost exclusively, but I am aiming for some Lego creator soon!

A great feature is that you can check the price of your model, which you can subsequently order. I don’t understand why so many pieces are left out of this, you will see that when placing some elements the application will tell you that this will disable price checking. I hope they fix this soon, since I think this deters many people.

Otherwise the software is great, it allows for great accuracy and many placement combinations, with even Mindstorms designs being available you can design very advanced stuff. You can create from scratch, or you can enhance base models, the later is a great way to teach kids and to get to know the program. This is one fun piece of software!

A while back ago actually my parents had this awesome idea (thanks guys!), that they’d buy me a tool storage cabinet. You know, one where you store nuts and bolts and so on. This seems like a pretty bad idea on its own, but the reason I got it was to organize all my bits of Lego lying around. Back then I just used it for the basic blocks, but now that I’m older I use it for storing my Lego Technic pieces.

Axles sorted by length, begs by type, long bars, short bars, you name it, I got it. I don’t mind telling you that Lego is the best thing ever, the more the better, and these cabinets are ideal for storing your pieces. If you buy more than one model, you will frequently end up with a multitude of odds and ends here and there and its nice to have a way to productively put them away.

This is one geeky post, but if you need the Stack On Drawer Cabinet with 60 drawers, feel free to buy it by clicking on the link. Oh, you can use it to store screws and so on, but who cares about that?
