Do we even need to say it- great for kids rooms. Endless possibilities.

Lego calendar uses bricks to organize your office, makes productivity adorable

DNP Lego calendar syncs with Google Calendar, makes barefoot runs to the office kitchen treacherous

Vitamins Design wanted an organizational calendar that was "big and visible," so it did what any company would do: it turned to Lego. Using the plastic bricks, Vitamins was able to create a three-month calendar that provides near-instant visual feedback about which employee is scheduled to work on what project and when. Sounds simple enough, right? Here's where it gets interesting: Take a picture of the quarterly chronicle with any smartphone, send the image to a special email address and the block placement will be translated to its Google Calendar equivalent. Even better, the sync software was written using open-source code, and Vitamins plans to make it available online. The company says it'll work with any cloud-based calendar too -- not just Mountain View's. Sounds great, as long as no one's making late-night barefoot runs to the office kitchen.

Lego Chess Set

It’s an easy DIY chess set! There’s a full on Instructable about how to make this chess set from Legos but you can probably figure it out yourself (and even do it slightly differently if you don’t have the exact pieces). The best part is that instead of simply taking a piece off the board when it’s captured, you can smash it into tiny Lego bits instead. Way more satisfying. Great idea, cool project.

The title is misleading! These are not actually Lego slippers (nor are they the droids you are looking for) but they are Building Brick Slippers Lego Slippers. Same difference. Now you can’t actually stick any bricks onto these unless you happen to live in some alternate universe where the blocks are huge and made of soft polyester. But you can have comfy feet and protection against stepping on a wayward Lego piece on your floor (why does that hurt so much?!). Comes in red or blue, one size fits most.

There will never be another Michael Jackson (well not the one I’m talking about anyway- it’s a pretty common name, I’m sure there are thousands of people named Michael Jackson). His signature dance moves were instantly iconic. Not to mention the music, of course. See them replicated amazingly in the stop motion animated video below made entirely of Legos.

Annette Jung created this thirty second thriller complete with appropriate Michael sounds. The way you make me feel? Great to be alive. Moonwalking.

DNP Legopowered robot sorts and serves M&Ms by color video

While it's nothing more than a placebo, believe it or not, some people actually argue over which color M&Ms taste better. If the latter speaks to your spirit and you're tired of manually filtering unwanted sweets from your holiday spread, then you might be in luck. A crafty tinkerer who goes by the YouTube handle "Nxt1engineer" has shared a clever contraption that sorts M&Ms by shade. Using tone-detecting sensors, this Lego-powered machine separates and dispenses the popular candy-coated snack, ensuring that everyone receives their favorite hue without any fuss. It's not entirely clear how you might be able to bring this awesome apparatus home, but you can at least see it in action -- check it out in the video after the break.
