With the opening of the the Lego Movie this weekend, Bloomberg describes Lego as “the Apple of toy companies — innovative, fiercely protective of its values and hugely successful”.
By 2019, there will be more Lego people than actual people on earth.
Of this Google Glitchview short, film editor and graphic designer Charlie Behrens sez:
This short film is intended to encourage a creative audience to seek out Kevin Slavin’s talk Those Algorithms Which Govern Our Lives. It employs an effect which takes place in Google Earth when its 3D street photography and 2D satellite imagery don’t register correctly. This glitch is applied as a metaphor for the way that our 21st century supercities are physically changing to suit the needs of computer algorithms rather than human employees.

The second Le Cool Dublin 2014 covers competition winner.
Chris sez:
Laurence O’Byrne came up with this concept – referencing the Anthony Burgess novel A Clockwork Orange. It was a great idea – and simply just about creating a piece with a visually interesting aesthetic.
From 1984, an ad for Bord na Móna peat briquettes.
‘Twas far from wind turbines we were reared.
We were poor but cosy.

In the Dáil yesterday, during the second stage of the Protected Disclosures Bill 2012, Independent TD Mick Wallace read into record sections from a transcript between Garda whistleblower Sgt Maurice McCabe and the Garda Confidential Recipient, Oliver Connolly.
The conversation between Sgt McCabe and Mr Connolly took place two years ago.
Mick Wallace: “It is frightening. Just to read two lines from it: ‘I tell you something, Maurice, and this is just personal advice to you, if [Justice Minister Alan] Shatter thinks you’re screwing him, you’re finished.’ Another line: ‘If Shatter thinks – ‘here’s this guy again, trying another route, trying to put pressure’ – he’ll go after you’. He’ll go after you? Our Minister for Justice? What is going on?”
Meanwhile, Sgt McCabe’s request to obtain a transcript of his private meeting with the Public Accounts Committee last week was discussed at a meeting of the PAC this morning.
And Daniel McConnell tweetz (read from bottom up):
Behold: The Exchequer’s 6 Nations Sausage (top).
Created by chef Lee Doyle at the Exchequer, Exchequer Street, Dublin, (above) the damn hipster gastropub co-owned by rugby beard god Gordon D’Arcy.
The sausage captures the flavours of the six competing countries in the Six Nations rugby championship combining Irish Whiskey, Scottish Barley, English mustard, Welsh leeks, French garlic and Italian sun dried tomatoes.
The multi-cultural pork spiral is served up with a side of mash and vegetables, priced €12, or ‘enjoyed with a pint’ for an ‘all in’ deal of €15.
Gordon and Lee have offered One Broadsheet reader and FIVE of his/her friends a chance to sample the sausages for FREE with the strong possibility of a few mugs of hooch thrown in.
To enter, They want YOU to create a Six Nations cocktail using ingredients (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) from Ireland, England, Scotland Wales, France and Italy.
And complete this sentence:
