For the latter reason you don’t have to make it all the way up into the attic and dig up your old blocks anymore. With LEGO Photo, installing a free iPhone application is enough (if you own an iPhone, that is).

The small application lets you take photographs or choose a picture from your library to quickly transform it into LEGO art. Just as in the good old days, hours might pass by quickly, playing with your (now virtual) blocks.
