New look for the NCLUG web site

Mike Walsh — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:20:22 +0000

The NCLUG web site has a new look today. The site had been running an older version of WordPress and the theme being used for the site didn’t support widgets. It has been time for a refresh for a while but finding time to do it has been an issue.

The site is now running the latest (2.8.5) release of WordPress and a new LEGO theme I have been working on which is based on the Sandbox theme. If you run into anything that doesn’t look right or doesn’t work correctly, drop me an e-mail.

Pictures from the 2009 Toy Fair in New York are starting to appear on the web. For the last couple years I have found the pictures from Altered States Magazine to be high quality and easy to browse. This year is no different, check out their coverage.

Triangle Business Journal and the LEGO Store

Mike Walsh — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:39:10 +0000

In this week’s (2/6/2009) edition of the Triangle Business Journal there is an article on the front page about the LEGO Store coming to Crabtree Valley Mall this spring.

Much of the article talks about the business aspect of the various malls in the area and their vacancy rates.

~~Check out a scan of the article here.~~

Update: At the request of the Triangle Business Journal, the scan of the article has been removed. A web version of the article should be available on their web site in about a month.

LEGO Store at Crabtree Valley Mall

Uh-oh. Looks like a LEGO Store will be coming to Crabtree Valley Mall in May. Wow – I never thought I’d see a LEGO store in this area, it seems like such a small market compared to the other locations where LEGO has stores (Northern Virginia, Northern California, North Jersey, Chicago, LA, London, Munich, etc.).

Joe Meno posted a note to the NCLUG mailing list with an article from the News & Observer. Pretty cool – I hope NCLUG can work out a rotating display opportunity like WamaLUG has at the Tyson’s store.

Update: The N&O has posted more details in another article today.
