*Ever since I happened to get a chance look/read of Lego's internal brand book - beautifully designed and printed, and obsessively written - and let's be honest the Lego always ruled growing up, I've had a special place in my heart for this block building junk. But honestly, who knew they were still so hip and popular. Wired Magazine has a great story on how Lego is going to win in the interactive 21st century. The Crazy Lego Factory site is just the start.

*Vancouver is planning on getting in on the new wave of art gallery/museum upgrades that drive the modern business of the art world. Before it was just a thought - but it is now increasingly certain that the Vancouver Art Gallery will move to a new space in the next few years. The Globe and Mail reports that the gallery has to stay downtown, might still keep the current location for traditional works, and could move to the top floor of the Sears building on Georgia.

*Winona Ryder. Sure she stole stuff. Sure she hasn't had a good movie since, um, wait a second since Heathers? What was that 1989? Wow. Whatever, she's back appparently. Botox'd and ready to rock. But come on love, even touching Fez is just bad.

*Amanda Congdon at Rocketboom takes us into a super secret dance society. So cute.

*Have you seen the ridiculous ads about the new Gilette Fusion razor? It's got 5 blades - nooooo waaaay - and an teaser ad campaign that looks like Revenge of the Sith. Doesn't make any sense.

*Speaking of Star Wars and all things that are completely ridiculous. There is a british dude who seems dress up as a Storm Trooper and travel all over Japan. Creepy meter: 8/10. [Via Cinematical]

*Nooooooo! Peanut Butter Federline. That and a lot more K-Fed on Boing Boing.

*Double Nooooooo! Combined $42+ million at the box office this weekend. Big Momma's House 2 ($28 million) and Nanny McPhee ($14.085 million). What the hell? We will pay for this. Mark my words.

*Lastly, over at Newsdesigner the newspaper frontpages from twenty years ago this weekend - the covers are from January 28th, the day of the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion.
