    @Kevin Murphy: It's the website for Marshall amplifiers, asking for customer response. They made the perhaps unfortunate decision to word it as "submit your feedback", so some enterprising individual submitted a written sample of screeching guitar feedback.

    @Axelph: It was an admittedly weak attempt at guitar- and amp- related humor. "pick up", "clicked", "well-played". It was a dumb joke. I'm not dense, thank you very much.

    You know, I was never a Lego baby. Maybe that is what caused me to have such horrible creativity.


    Someone should build a program that sees a picture on your computer and tells you how many pieces of Lego you will need and how to build it. I think Lego might have this somewhere in their secret basement of awesomeness.


    There is no way in hell that someone thought of how to build the Death Star on Legos.

    @Professional_Iceberg_Hunter:
    If you don't mind it being restricted to a 2D mosaic, there are already at least two programs out there. One was available through the LEGO Shop@Home website for ordering custom B&W mosaic kits. The other was fan-developed for designing color mosaics. Also, Eric Harshbarger (the original freelance LEGO artist, though he has been surpassed by Nathan Sawaya in recent years) custom-tailored an existing program that would output the plans in terms of decorated tiles instead of the standard design which uses plates.


    As for the other bit, there's a guy who wrote a program that would spit out LEGO plans to build a replica of the Standford Bunny, and there's another program out there that will spit out plans for building a studs-out sphere. But to date, there's no program I'm aware of that'll churn out 3D plans of any random object you put in front of it.

    3 x 12XA7s and 2 x KT88s ... this must push some nice sound. If it had 1 more 12XA7, it would be the same setup (tubewise) as my old Sunn A212 combo. Those transformers look huge, and I like that they've covered them up with a case. Fancy.

    The tubes are pretty, but the overall asymmetry and two blocky plastic-looking blobby cubes are just ugly IMHO.

    Those blocky cubes are transformers, and if they were exposed you'd probably think that they're even uglier. The covers for them look just fine to me.

    @prsiii: Fashion. My guess is an imperfection like that is probably done on purpose and is meant to serve as a reminder that the device is crafted by hand and with the same quality control as that of it's 48 year old predecessor.
