It's a good thing you've got massive nerd cred; the cynical part of me keeps imagining a suit from LEGO dressed down and hanging under the guise of a "referee," then getting the contact info from the top placing competitors in order to give them the final part of their prize...
Although, if a job offer from LEGO engineering is the most nefarious thing going on, I wouldn't exactly call that a dastasrdly plan.
- kn0thing 16y agoThere will be LEGO employees flying in from Denmark for this, but they'll be very obvious (and simply excited to spectate!) LEGO is thrilled about doing a feel-good-project with breadpig (uncorporation) and the geeks of New York. All of the mindstorms left over from the Hack Night are being donated to a notforprofit we work with down in Jamaica (Lego Yuh Mind) that uses them to teach schoolchildren about engineering. http://www.hallsoflearning.com/ http://www.hallsoflearning.com/
- Chrysaora 16y agoAlexis and I met with the "suits from LEGO" who are flying in. This is one of their laptops: http://www.flickr.com/photos/crimsonninjagirl/5252144238/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/crimsonninjagirl/5252144238/ Also, they shared hilarious stories with us about making LEGO napalm and gave us some cool LEGOs for answering a trivia question about Blade Runner. They are absolutely people I'd hang out with and I'm glad they're peaceful Northern Europeans or else I'd be concerned they were going to take over the world with LEGOs. tl;dr Suits from LEGO are awesome.
