And another note... As surely some of you have noticed, I haven't been updating this page very much. That may change in the future, but suffice it to say that my lego hobby has been on the back burner for a little while, and even when I do do something with it, I don't have a good set up for making digital images available just now... That latter issue will surely change, though... eventually.
Off topic for the page, but a cool lego project someone send me a link to, and I thought I'd share: A LEGO desk. Neat. If someone ever wants me to build something random like that ("like that" referring to random, not necessarily to a desk), I might actually be game too. :-)
Well, I was just going to start building a LEGO® web page,
when disaster struck. I was setting up the little work area
here for taking a picture of one of my first (in adult years)
lego sets (set number 8440, second model), when I got cought
on the power cable for this set, and it toppled to the floor,
shattering. Click on the picture for a little more detail
(though not the best picture quality, I fear).
As you may be able to tell from the pictures below, my primary interest in LEGO® toys is in the Technic series. I was interested in them when I was a kid, but I never actually got any. Generally, the more complex it is, the more fun I have with it... but I like some of the smaller sets too.
My ex-girlfriend, Elaine, has an almost complete 1995 Pirates series. Some of the pictures below are from that series. She also has purchased a couple of small sets for me from the Exploriens series, whose pictures may eventually show up here.
Here is a picture of the Motorcycle (set 8422) that my
ex-girlfriend built:

Here is the primary model from set 8808:
and set 8207:
Here is one of the sets from the Pirates series that my
ex-girlfriend built:
