Lego Digital Designer
We're big fans of Lego - the Mindstorms NXT kit, which we reviewed back in 2006, is just one of the company's remarkable innovations of recent years.
Another one has just been released: version 2 of Lego's LEGO Digital Designer software is a clever tool that allows you to put together a virtual Lego world. It's great for creating models of the models you're going to make, or if you're short of actual Lego bricks (or living in a country in which Lego is banned) you could use it to actually create your Lego models without any bricks at all.
It's clever enough to be able to sort the available bricks by boxes, so it will limit itself to the bricks you have, and it supports the Mindstorms and other kits. There are several templates supplied, too, so you don't have to start from scratch.
And the best bit is that, once you've created your model, the program will tell you how much the bricks will cost to buy (in local currency) and can put together a shopping list for you to go and buy them.
