The following was originally posted on the StruckAxiom blog on 1/14/10 by Matt Anderson.

Like any good children of the 80s, we love LEGOs. So when our friends at Pereira & O’Dell hollered at us with a couple LEGO projects (the LEGO Photo iPhone app and LEGO CL!CK site), we didn’t hesitate. Coming into the studio to work/play with LEGOs all day—physically and virtually—has been ridiculously inspiring.

Now that the results of a few (okay, more than a few) late nights are alive and kicking on the Interweb, we’re predictably giddy about the positive response. LEGO Photo is the #5 Free App in the iTunes Store as of today. Good (and incredibly smart) people from Fast Company, Mashable, KRonikle (the Kidrobot blog!), app.itize.us and WIRED have all had nice things to say about the projects.

So. Download the app. Get inspired on the site. And… please upload your LEGO-fied photos to the Flickr group we just discovered.

Please be careful. LEGOfying an already-LEGOfied image may disrupt the balance of the space-time continuum.
