I just watched today's episode and was surprised that students at MIT actually use legos in their inventions, doesn't seem like a reliable building material to use...
Great show!
I think it will take a few weeks to work some of the kinks out and get our man Baratunde a bit more comfortable but that is to be expected. Hopefully it doesnt burn out like so many other shows.
Great start and keep up the good work.

These things also make great change.. WORTH TO LOOK AT!!
