Showing this today in the online identity & community class. John’s an RIT alum, and I heard him give a version of this talk here in Rochester last summer when he got inducted into the RIT innovation hall of fame—it was fabulous.
A heartwarming piece, as antidote to some of the depressing stuff I’ve stumbled across this morning.

I had no idea this existed. It’s extraordinary. And it has my friend Erik Demaine in it, who makes this most lovely point:
“When you put a crease in a piece of paper, you’re essentially changing the memory of that piece.”

Read this and weep. /sigh
Well, maybe not evil, but “highly problematic.”
First, let’s remove what we all *think* Lego is (i.e. our own nostalgic memories, our aspirational beliefs, or $250 robot sets), and instead concentrate on what Lego today is, for the most part: It’s movie-tie-in model sets marketed pretty much…
