  Lego Sponsor Colwyn Bay Football Tournament
 
There was a brief article on the local news about a youth football tournament.

  Lego in July 2002 Maxim
 
Every month, Maxim has an article that explains "how to" do various things, such as stop bleeding, win bar bets, so on. Just got my issue in the mail and saw that on pages 48-49, the illustrations to the "How To Sail Like A Pirate" are in fact Lego. (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jun-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)
 
  Re: LEGO reference in the Atlanta Journal Vent section..
 
If you mean: (...) I agree that this is a bad trend in the Media. Yesterday's 'The Learning Curve' a BBC Radio 4 programme mentioned "Lego style modular degrees" as if it was an insult. The crux of the programme was whether separate units of study (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jun-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)

Here's the article: "Toys Kicks from Plastic Bricks How it (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)

The AJC has a section in the paper were people send in their little remarks to either complain or sometimes praise current events. Today I noticed a LEGO remark....and no I didn't submitt it. (URL) (22 years ago, 14-Jun-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)
 
  Re: Lego in my X-word clue
 
(...) I worked that crossword as well (and no, I didn't use (URL) ) and my reaction was about the same as when I run across a computer-related clue. Since that's what I do for a living, there's no way I'm going to make the same association as the (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.fun)

  Re: LEGO makes Time Magazine
 
(...) Well, I'll bite. I haven't seen the magazine yet (and probably won't... our household tends towards Forbes and The Economist as news sources rather than Time).

  Re: LEGO makes Time Magazine
 
(...) This does beg the question whether this is a "new" trend or not. If yes, some reasons might include: 1. It's 20-30 years after a big push with Legos in the 70's (possibly due to the introduction of minifigs?). More kids building Legos grow up (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)

Ok... I tracked down a copy. The issue specifics: TIME magazine, 17 June 2002 Written up under 'Trend Alert', page 16 lower right corner. I could not find reference to it on their website (www.time.com) cheers, eric PS: this makes the second (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)
 
  Re: LEGO makes Time Magazine
 
(...) Is it still a "new" trend if we've been building (as adults) for 20 years? But yes, "Congrats" to Eric!! :-) John G, GMLTC (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)

  LEGO makes Time Magazine
 
I'm surprised that no one here has reported that the current Time Magazine contains a quarter page item on an "amazing new trend": adults like to build things with LEGO! The story mentions Eric Harshbarger (congrats Eric!). -Ted Michon (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)
