Review: Gallerific WordPress Theme | The Relaunch of MikePanic.com

The Portfolio of Michael Anderson

Happy 50th anniversary Lego!

Today is the 50th anniversary of Lego, one of the most creative toys ever created.
The LEGO history began in 1932 in Denmark, when Ole Kirk Christansen founded a small factory for wooden toys in the unknown town of Billund in the south of the country. To find a name for his company he organized a [...]
