I guess this is kind of a follow up to my Retro Challenge posts, as it was thoughts that stemmed from teaching myself Assembly Language for my Z80 project. Essentially it is a comparison between programming in the 70's and today against building with Lego in the 70s and today. But before I get stuck in, can you identify this famous TV family from a few crude Lego bricks?
I bought a mobile phone mount for my car several months ago, and it was one of those with the sticky blue dot on. It was fine, worked great, and simple to use. For a while. Then one day my phone flew off whilst going around a sharp corner. And again a few weeks later. Then again, and again. Despite cleaning, the sticky blue dot was loosing it's sticky. So I turned to a couple of old faithfuls for help; Sugru and Lego! The first thing to do was decide upon a 'design' for the Lego. It needed to be a large enough contact area to hold securely - even if I aligned the two halves a bit to the left or too high. It needed to fit on the car mount I already had. It needed to be made from the selection of Lego I had to hand. I also wanted a shape\position on the phone where I could instantly identify which way around the phone was without even looking at it. Oh, and it had to look cool too!
