BrickBuildr: special selection of AFOL LEGO creations

Michael Huffman writes:

I cobbled "BrickBuildr" together using phpFlickr as a way for the AFOL [Adult Fans of LEGO - Ed.] community to share "LEGO only" pictures with one another (for those who had Flickr accounts). [There's also] a way to browse new "LEGO only" photos from your iPhone.

He's selected only certain groups from within Flickr that feature AFOL creations instead of simple just every photo tagged with LEGO. Looks like a great project for finding new builders you like. And by joining one of the groups included, your creations will be automatically slurped up, too.

Well this is cool, but what does it have to do with fistulated cows?

Oh look, there's my Lt. Col. Kilgore! BrickBuildr is a fantastic project, and Mike's addition of iPhone functionality recently makes the site that much cooler.

Except for about 900 photos starting at (the current) page 5 of people at some Atlanta Lego conference.

Don't get me wrong, there's some can't-miss photos in that block:

Yeah I couldn't help but notice myself that someone went out of their way to crap that block up big time.
I hope they fix that.

A little misunderstanding, I index photos based upon individuals, not groups -- the groups listed are only a small cross section of LEGO groups on Flickr; new ones spring up daily.

The Atlanta pictures were from the First LEGO League (FLL) conference... Whenever Joe Meno (editor of the BrickJournal magazine) adds photos, they tend to overwhelm the site. Someone suggested to me only showing a limited number of photos per page via an individual -- I'm still thinking about the logistics for that one. :)
