Hi all,

it’s been some time since I posted here about BrickJournal, and for those wondering, no I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. Far from it. And I’ll be telling you what’s been going on...

BrickJournal

BrickJournal has grown from an online magazine to print, and while doing so, has covered events from Brickworld to FIRST LEGO League World Festival. With this, the magazine’s Flickr archive has gathered over 30,000 photos from Europe and the United States. In print we have printed 9 issues and have gone from quarterly to bimonthly publication this year.

BrickJournal.com



BrickJournal’s website has also changed this year, as its webhost was bought by another service. The new site is cleaner, and while still a little empty, it will eventually have selected articles from the magazine. Currently, it has current news, exclusive information and instructions, and the Pic of the Day, where a photo from the BrickJournal archive is presented.

BrickJournal Video Podcast

There’s also a video podcast for the magazine - you can find it at iTunes, where there are some videos with some of the builders spotlighted in the magazine. More will be coming soon!

BrickJournal Mobile



Speaking of iTunes, BrickJournal now has an free iPhone app, and soon will have a Google Android app. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can find the app through iTunes. The BrickJournal app has all the feeds from the website, my blog, and Flickr gallery. It’s a one stop shop to see what is going on with the magazine!

And one more thing....

BrickMagic



I’m happy to announce that BrickJournal is one of the organizers of BrickMagic, a LEGO Fan event in Raleigh, North Carolina on May 7, 8, and 9, 2010 - Mother’s Day weekend! Registration is open and can be done at BrickMagic’s website. There will be things for the AFOLs and the public, so check out the site for information! I can’t say too much about what’s being planned yet, but it’s going to be fun!

You can keep up with BrickJournal through: BrickJournal.com BrickJournal Journal Twitter Facebook page

Many thanks for all those who have helped the magazine - BrickJournal is 5 years old in June, and it has grown thanks to AFOLs here and abroad!
