Sets you should get, sets you should really get, when to buy them, special events and official LEGO gifts. — The short of it is, you need to start now. I am fully aware that people ease into the Christmas mood at various times of the year, and some won’t have any problem putting on some Christmas songs in the middle of summer, should they feel like it. …

The world’s largest ever LEGO set is coincidentally about the world itself… — I had three choices. The Titanic, the Eiffel Tower or the World Map. These are the top three LEGO sets of all times in terms of piece-count. As much as I love everything Titanic, taking a few measurements around the apartment instantly ruled the iconic ship out. The Eiffel Tower…

An extensive, hands-on review of the M3 Max MacBook Pro and real-life comparisons to M1 and M2 iterations of Apple Silicon. — As soon as Apple’s Scary Fast event concluded, I was on the website ordering what to date is the most capable, perhaps obscenely powerful computer I have ever owned. Just a fortnight before, I was about to fork over some serious cash for a maxed out 14” M2 Max MacBook…

What made the Touch Bar loved or hated, and now abandoned… — Every so often, but not often enough if you ask Apple’s harshest critics, the Cupertino tech giant still lives up to its “Think Different” slogan long after it was retired in 2002.

A technologist and software engineer’s closer look at the LEGO Group’s cybersecurity incident. — This may be news to some, but LEGO, similar to many business giants, has acquired other businesses in the past to extend its reach.

Out of nowhere, Mac fans got everything they wanted. And one more thing… — I have now been covering these events for years. Yet after a lacklustre iPhone event earlier this fall, somehow this one got me excited again — excited enough to stay up until midnight in Ireland to watch the event live. I say live, but it really was a recording, as…

”Viking Village” is possibly the cheapest large LEGO set of 2023, you just need to ignore the historical inaccuracy… — Vikings. Tall, strong blondes, born with hammers in their hands and horns on their heads. Right? Well, not quite. You see, when it comes to the Vikings, Hollywood has done so much damage to history, the fake one became the one that everyone prefers. How do I know? Living in…

A secret you don’t even know you’re building, until the last minute… — I swear, this is by far one of the best Easter eggs in any LEGO set I have seen in the last decade, and I’m not even exaggerating. When I decided to purchase the Spider-Man Final Battle LEGO set, I had no idea just how great this might turn out…

And the only reason I am going to keep it… — When it comes to Apple products, I tend to always find a reason or two for praise, unless they’re called the Apple Watch. My very late adoption of the world’s best-selling smart-watch I have explained in detail, and while having owned and loved now the Series 7 for two whole…
