## Resource

A conversation came up on Knife Talk podcast about Lego and if the world renowned company changed direction by minimizing the creativity for the user and pushed for instruction/ kit based focus. It jogged some memories of the great Lego Riot of 1981 and the violence that ensued in my first grade class. I also covered a very vivid and traumatic event in the time when Lego introduced the coveted blue astronaut while little Geoffy finds out where babies come from.
