April 1st roundup

The "Fascinating Lego Model of the Day" has made an an excellent roundup of this year's April 1st jokes (we were caught by one of them on our Twitter feed).

The NXT STEP blog has announced the arrival of NXT 3.0. It includes axles of length 50, a memory card reader and mirrored motors. It is set for arrival in August.

The Brothers Brick has announced that that they will get rid of one of their editors because he was arrested for drug abuse.

One of the more important news is that the Hello Kitty Duplo line is set for debut in the near future.
