U.N.C.L.E. a day is my obsessive-compulsive approach at working through The Complete Man for U.N.C.L.E., now available on DVD. One episode, one review a day (usually – occasional hiatuses may occur due to travel). The U.N.C.L.E.-love continues, with the third…

The Lego Apple Store
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Humor, Retail, Cult of Mac, Apple
Man, for all of the gadget lovin’, excellent software, and community power floating around the Mac crowd, this is the real reason why I’m such a fan of the cult of Mac: someone loved the Apple Store enough to make a Lego version of it. Just awesome — look at the little nanochromatic iPods, the touches and iPhones, the iMacs and even a Cinema for good measure. The only thing missing, really, is the black t-shirted Geniuses, complete with little credit card swipers so you don’t have to go up to the counter.
Really great. I don’t know what kind of loyalty exists that would drive a person to recreate a retail space in Lego form, but I’m strangely glad it’s out there somewhere.
