Thanks for the positive feedback. We'd hoped other folks would enjoy our strange experiment! Nicole and I really like the avatar idea, too.

Several months ago I built some LEGO SOMA puzzle cubes with six smooth sides. Now it was time to build something to store the cubes in. I saw that a few years ago Eric Harshbarger built a SOMA cube and nice storage box. Not wanting to just copy (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jul-07, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, FTX) !

Thanks, Ted! Glad you enjoyed it. We're looking to do a new episode every 2 weeks. The issue of showing who's talking without speech bubbles was challenging, especially since our actors refuse to open their mouths! We're trying to get better at (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jul-07, to lugnet.build, FTX)

That is really compelling. Very movie-like and something I will be following.
