MindstormsBack to back days of Mac/Lego news? My heart cannot contain the joy that wants to surge outwards from it. It is…too much.

I haven’t spent time playing around with Lego Mindstorms NXT, the nifty system that lets you basically build sentient robots out of little plastic bricks, but the Bond villain part of me is tempted. Very tempted.

While Lego and National Instruments, whose combined powers fuel these amazing feats, had released an OS X client, it wasn’t Universal. But the newly released version 1.1 adds support for Intel-based Macs. And now, my plans for world domination can unfurl and sweep across the globe like the latest dance craze. You have been warned.
