Parada wspomnien

Okay, I'm not sure what's going on in pepik's Parada wspomnien, so I'll just give his explanation:
This series of vignettes is a visualisation of _Parada wspomnien_ -- the song of Polish band -- Kult. The song refers to the proclamation of Martial law in Poland on 13th December 1981.

If someone could point me to an English translation of the lyrics, that would be great. In the meantime it's a series of great vigs. My two favorites:

Thank you for the response!

Hi all,

I've gotten an overwhelming response to my previous call for help with running my blogs. If you've already e-mailed me, I'll be contacting you soon. If you've contacted me another way (e.g. leaving a comment on the blog or at Classic-Castle), please drop me a quick e-mail at bricktalesATgmailDOTcom. To all others, I'm still pretty swamped, but look forward to a reinvigoration of these blogs as we bring in fresh bloggers. In the meantime, I'm trying to do daily updates to GodBricks to get that one fully established. So check there for your daily fix of my blogging.

Help! Call for co-bloggers

Okay, I'm in over my head. I get excited about an area and create a framework for that, but now I have four blogs--VignetteBricks, MicroBricks, MinilandBricks and GodBricks--in addition to being an admin at Classic-Castle. Not to mention I'd like to do something on my own LEGO projects now and then. So I'm looking for some co-bloggers for the first three (I'm going to keep GodBricks to myself for a bit until it is fully established). This need not be burdensome - you're already checking Brickshelf, Flickr, MOCpages, etc., when you see a good MOC that's on-topic, post it to the blog. The code is really easy, so don't be concerned about that. I only ask that you try to stay with the same vision of the blog--i.e. if you're helping with MicroBricks, only post microscale creations. Also, this is not just a way to highlight your own stuff, but if you do make something in the theme that you think is good, go ahead and post it. This would probably work best if you're someone I already know from interaction on the various LEGO forums. If I had two or three partners for each blog it would be great. Let me know if you're interested at bricktalesATgmailDOTcom

Thanks,
Bruce

New blog - GodBricks

Hey all,

I've continued my blog proliferation with a new blog, GodBricks. As with my existing blogs, there will be a specific theme - the overlap of LEGO building and religious themes. Religion has been at the heart of much of the great art and architecture for millenia, and LEGO building is no different. I'm going to try to feature creations such as cathedrals, mosques, minifigs based on religious figures, illustrations of biblical or other stories, etc, from all faith traditions. There will be overlap with my existing blogs, as I have already, for instance, highlighted vignettes of stories from the Book of Mormon, a microscale cathedral, and a miniland-scale Mary and Jesus nativity scene. Please check out GodBricks and let me know what you think. I've also started a related Flickr group, LEGO and God, with the same theme.
