If you’re a fan of the vinyl urban toy trend, you’re going to shit bricks when you see this. The CubeDude Lego Icons are a series of surprisingly on point representations of the pop world’s most famous icons. Jules and Vincent above, Chewbacca, Batman and Homer Simpson below, over 120 famous characters from pop culture are faithfully created in Lego in stunning detail. It’s quite surprising how representative these LEGO creations are of their inspirations. Batman really looks like the Batman of old, Chewbacca looks like the character from Star Wars, and even Walter Sobchek looks like The Dude’s rolling partner. Well done, CubeDudes crew!

The two greatest criticisms of wind power farms are their construction costs and the visual drain they pose on otherwise natural environments. Suppose, however, there was a way to cut building costs by using existing infrastructure– and to add these eyesores to existing eyesores. A group of enterprising, eco-conscious thinkers have dreamed up a plan where existing electricity towers are used as wind power sources. The “Wind It” project by Nicola Delon, Julien Choppin, and Raphael Menard proposes a string of the tower-ported wind turbines to be placed in wind-sensitive areas, then feeding this freely-generated power directly back into the grid. While the project was conceived for France, the team insists that this technology could be employed in China, in the US and otherwise. We wouldn’t mind this tech powering our homes… would you?
