Flickr Find: Lego minifigs recreate "Hand of God" moment from 1986 World Cup soccer quarter finals
Flickr member Chris of Oblong Pictures used Lego Minifigs, some clever backdrops and sometimes an iPhone to recreate the first goal in the quarter-final soccer match between Argentina and England in the 1986 FIFA World Cup. Argentina won the match with two of the most memorable goals in soccer history, both of which were scored by Diego Maradona. The "Hand of God" goal happened when England midfielder Steve Hodge mistakenly kicked the soccer ball back into the penalty area towards his own goal. Goalkeeper Peter Shilton raced to grab the ball, but Argentina's Maradona got there first and used his hand to propel the ball into the goal. The referee didn't see the infringement and allowed the goal to stand. After this stunning win, Argentina went on to win the World Cup that year. You can see the full set of photos in the fill "Hand of God" album.
Flickr Find: "Through the Phone" adds an iPhone twist to the classic landscape photos
Flick member SamAlive has a year long photo album, "Through The Phone," that showcases landscape photos in which the iPhone is a central part of the composition. Similar to the photos from French photographer Francois Dourlen, these picture-in-picture creations add a technological influence to the classic landscape photo. You can check out the thumbnail views above and head over to SamAlive's Flickr album page for the individual photos.
Flickr Find: Steve's got your back
Flickr user Sam has found a clever use for her Steve Jobs Lego minifig. She attached the figure to a Lego stand and then slapped the stand on her desk with some Blue-Tack. A Lightning cable fits perfectly into "Lego Steve's" hand. Last week we wrote about Sugru, a playful material that hardens into rubber. Many people have used it to attach Lego figures to a surface, thus eliminating the need for the stand like Sam used. Adding Steve Jobs to the mix makes it that much better.
Flickr Find: Minimalist to the Max ... or Mac
Above is a Mac setup that takes the idea of minimalism to the max. Just a MacBook Air, a Rain Design stand and a simple keyboard and mouse. Even the surrounding black and white room matches the austere setup. Did you know that TUAW has a Flickr pool? And that we encourage readers to submit their own Apple related images? Please visit the pool and share your images as we'd love to see your photos. (Photo "My Old Setup" was taken by Flickr member julle1_)
Flickr Find: I love a rainy drive
The iPhone is an amazing tool in the hands of amateur and professional photographers alike. This photo from Flickr member Kevin Dooley showcases the wonderful shots you can capture because your iPhone camera is always available when the moment strikes.
Flickr Find: An oversized iPhone before there even was an iPhone
Love this shot of the Newton MessagePad being used as a phone. It was crafted to be a mock "hands-on" look for the original iPhone, but takes on new meaning now that we are being force-fed rumors that Apple is creating a "bigger" iPhone. Is this really what we will be looking like this time next year? Newton image from Windall Oskay on Flickr. Oskay, along with Lenore Edman and shop cat Zener Diode, founded Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, a family-owned maker shop responsible for creations such as Super Awesome Silvia's WaterColorBot and edible origami.
Flickr Find: Looking beyond a MacBook screen
This is a lovely and creative way to reflect on what is in front of you, don't you agree? Image is from Flickr member Jim.
Flickr Find: The most meta iPhone photo ever
Consider this photo from Chris Gordon -- taken by an iPhone, featuring an iPhone, and reflecting a Mac. So much Apple in such a tiny space, it almost makes your head explode. Did you know that TUAW has a Flickr pool? And that we encourage readers to submit their own Apple related images? Please share your items in your Flickr stream as we'd love to see your photos.
Flickr Find: Even Stormtroopers prefer a Mac
You would think that, with his villainous personality, Darth Vader would force his stormtroopers to use Windows machines to keep them in a constant state of frustration. Instead, the Dark Lord allows at least one Empire soldier access to a lovely array of Macs. I bet all his trooper buddies secretly are jealous. The above photo was taken by Danny Choo and was originally posted as part of a series on Japanese Mac Rooms. Did you know that TUAW has a Flickr pool?

Best. Bumper Sticker. Ever
Don't you just love this vintage bumper sticker? Apple should bring these back -- I know I would buy one for every car I own and a few more for my friends. Photograph by Damian Ward of Flickr. You can contribute to our Flickr pool here. We'd love to see your photos.
Flickr Find: Best workspace ever if you don't want to do any work
This tidy and captivating workspace was assembled by Flickr user Sam, aka purplelime. I like the clean lines of the layout, but I would get lost forever in the wall art, wouldn't you? You can contribute an Apple-inspired photo to our Flickr pool here. We'd love to see your photos!
Flickr Find: Just horsing around with a MacBook Pro
See folks, you really can make an ass of yourself when you spend too much time on your MacBook Pro. Of course, we should probably ask reader Ken Fager if he was just horsing around on Halloween in this gem of a photo taken a few years ago.
Flickr Find: iLove my iPhone 5s and all my other Apple devices
Say hello to this lovely iPhone 5s, which has joined a wonderful household of Apple devices over at Tiffany's house. Along with this new member, you also will find an iPad 4, an Apple TV and soon-to-arrive MacBook Pro. I can relate to all this iLove, having my own iPhone 5s, iPad Air, MacBook Air and Apple TV to tend to in my spare time. Do you have a household full of Apple devices? Please share your list of current hardware in the comments. And when you are done, you can contribute a photo of those wonderful devices to our Flickr pool here. We'd love to see your photos!
Falling asleep with a good iBook
Gather 'round, kids and Grandpa Dave will tell you a story. Back when I was your age, "iBooks" were computers, not software. They were brightly colored, had plastic handles and resembled a Barbie purse. Plus, you could take a nap beneath one, as Flickr user Pinot Dita demonstrates. You can contribute to our Flickr pool here. We'd love to see your photos.
Photo: Wall-mounted Apple keyboards
It's like a nerdy Bat Cave. Flickr user Peter Bocken shares this image of several Apple keyboards, carefully mounted on a wall. Can you name them all? We'd like to see a Bluetooth keyboard added to the display. You can see Bocken's mouse collection in all of its glory here. You can contribute to our Flickr pool here. We'd love to see your photos.
Flicker Find: An artistic study in the evolution of the Mac mouse
Where some people would see a mouse problem, Flickr user petebocken saw an artistic solution. Take a walk down memory lane with this beautifully framed and photographed collection showcasing the evolution of the Mac mouse. It's come a long way since being born as a brick-like box in the 1980s and reborn as a hockey puck in the late 1990s. Head over to petebocken's Flickr page to follow his work and give him a thank you for taking this photo. You can contribute to our Flickr pool here. We'd love to see your photos!
Flickr Find: So shiny, you can see your reflection
Ah, lovely iPhone 4. How we remember, thee --- with your boxy design and shiny glass back so full of luster that we could use you as a mirror. As you walk down memory lane and contemplate your own iPhone 4, don't forget to thank SDruet Photographies for the photo. You can contribute to our Flickr pool here. We'd love to see your photos!
Flickr Find: Three-Card Brag with iPhones
This handful of old iPhones reminds me of a British card game, Three Card Brag. Will you fold or place a bet? What combination of iPhones will give you the highest hand? The photo titled "iPhone 4 joins his older brothers" is from Flickr member hezi cohen.You can contribute to our Flickr pool here. We'd love to see your photos.
Flickr Find: Lego Steve Jobs and our beloved Mac
Today's Flickr Find is so adorable it may just kill you with its cuteness. Created by Flickr member Sam, aka "purplelime", the Lego recreation commemorates the 30th birthday of the Mac, which was celebrated earlier this year. In true Apple fan fashion, the lego scene was recorded by an iPhone 5s, adding even more charm to the photo. You can contribute to our Flickr pool here. We'd love to see your photos.
Flickr find: The world's most ridiculous and expensive Mac mini stand
Today's Flickr find is from Stephen Hackett, who has created what he calls "the world's most ridiculous Mac mini stand", and we would have to agree. Not only is all that aluminum stunning, it's also a vintage rig now that the Powermac G5 is will past its prime. As far as expensive, the latest Mac Pro would make a heck of a stand now that it comes packaged in much smaller and much blacker form factor. You can contribute to our Flickr pool here. We'd love to see your photos.
