Occupy Wall Street from the 2011 in Lego: the year’s news – in pictures via guardian.co.uk.
Other moments The Guardian memorialized in Legos for their year-end review include the royal wedding, Obama et al. watching the Bin Laden takedown, and the London riots. See even more in the newspaper’s News in Lego Flickr pool. (Hat tip to Hilary Gridley)
Fred Wilson nails it:
We are crossing a huge chasm from an industrial society to an information society. And there is immense pain in that transformation. Obama can’t solve the problem nor can any of his opponents.
