'Data' (Red toys) playing different roles and flowing through the organization's information system(building blocks) to keep the system running :-)
I was a crazy Lego fan as a kid. I loved the Lego castle.
When I was a little boy (+40 years ago) we lived only a few kilometers from the Lego plant and HQ, which is in Billund, Denmark. Some of my parent’s friends worked there, so they brought us lots of Lego bricks.
At that time Lego was more SOA like. Basically there only were rectangle bricks (1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 2x8) in different colors – and then some special building parts, so that you could combine them in endless ways.
LEGO! I too was a lego fanatic as a boy, and my two kids love it too.
Is there a direct connection between loving Lego and getting into DATA?
Henrik - I love your SOA analogy - I agree. Many of the new Lego pieces are so preformed, with so few stubs on them that they are more like a plastic figure than a building block.
I actually had to buy a special "Legacy Lego" set to get enough bricks to be able to really build things....<cough> I mean so that my kids could really build things.
Thanks everyone for your comments. As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated.
And special thanks to Richard Hackathorn for sharing a great link to this "Lego Relativity" M. C. Escher tribute and much more Lego Art by Andrew Lipson:

I'm with James and Henrik, they like, sold out man, if I have to buy another Star Wars action figure...
Dylan - it's funny you mentioned Star Wars action figures - they have a starring role in next week's Wordless Wednesday...
Awesome!
