News You Can Bruise for 2008 February 19

The "Mallory" protagonists' interests collide with RailBricks, a magazine for LEGO RAILROAD railroad enthusiasts. Includes an interview with Justin Carminien, who comes up with late-90s-looking Western-themed sets, complete with imitation box covers. I don't see a bordello, but it's early days yet.

I'm trying to "convince" the idea of the set to the viewer...a head at LEGO could say, "Yes, I could see that as a marketable product."

Or maybe it's not early days. I've never been good at determining the lateness of days.

I have an important announcement to make! I'll be giving a talk about RESTful web service design at the Irish Web Technologies Conference next week. I see that Bill de hÓra will be there too. Now I just need to write my talk. And do the critiques for my SF writing group.
