"I came away from my meeting with this famous climate skeptic feeling pretty depressed. What I had seen was a scientist whose work, in my opinion, was simply not very good."

Or, to paraphrase Hitchen's Razor, "What is asserted without (rigorous) evidence can be dismissed without (rigorous) evidence."

The kids and I made our first truly from-scratch LEGO Mindstorms EV3 creation today: A robotic gumball dispenser (yes, the kids' idea). It reads color-coded cards to dispense specific amounts of gumballs. My daughter is demonstrating it in the GIF. It uses the color sensor to read the card and the medium (stepper) motor to spin the dispenser wheel. It also says the color of the card out loud and displays a big mouth on the Intelligent Brick's display while the program is running.

So last night I submitted to LEGO Ideas my life-sized Excalibur build.

So last night I submitted to LEGO Ideas my life-sized Excalibur build. Ideas is the official LEGO community site where builds can be submitted, voted on, and, if a build gets 10,000 community votes, LEGO will review it and consider it for becoming an actual product. So, if you feel life-sized medieval armaments should be better represented in the LEGO universe and you have a LEGO Ideas account (or are willing to sign up for one), please vote for this. Thanks in advance.

Messing around with some LEGO​ #Mindstorms a colleague loaned me. The kids and I came up with Neville's Toad, which hops away every time you reach for it.
