There’s nothing quite like tinkering around on your own ivory tower. Well, in this case, it’s quartz, seeing as Minecraft doesn’t really do ivory. That’s probably a good thing, as animal rights groups might have something to say about it. The challenge here is to use a minimum of materials to create LEGO-like structures, using 1-metre cubed blocks. Think pixel art<\/a> in three dimensions. <\/p>\n

In other news, have you seen this thing called Instagram<\/a>? Sharing square-cropped photos with the rest of the world is kind of fun. I mean, who wouldn’t<\/em>, want to see a close-up of that vanilla cr\u00e8me pastry I bought from Tesco the other day? All I can say is, 20 likes justifies its place in culinary, social media history. <\/p>\n

Speaking of likes, this cycling to and from the studio malarkey is good fun, even alongside other, less-courteous road users. It’s kind of like an adventure every day. Who knows what will happen next or where the latest and greatest pothole will make a surprise appearance? <\/p>\n
