I was sitting here watching the news and lo and behold, there is a news story on robotics competition (a soccer competition) utilizing Lego Mindstorms as the competitors. The event was held at the Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Md. with (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)

I just saw an AT&T commercial on TechTV. It's one of their 7$/7¢ series, but this time it uses animated 3D plastic building bricks (but not LEGO...OH NO, NEVER!). It's actually really cool. I went to AT&T's web site, but they dont seem to have (...) (23 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)

I watch the Pretender every day on TNT. (I tape the ones I'm not home for.) Anyway, in the opening credits there is a tower made out of what appears to be LEGO. It is also often visible during the show. Bryan Beckwith (23 years ago, 28-Apr-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) This must be a UKism, as we don't use that phrase much. Beanie Babies are "stuffed animals" I think. Of course, stuffed doesn't carry quite the negative connotation in the US. ++Lar (23 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)
