Monopoly, in spite being the classiest of all board games, unfortunately is packaged just as boringly and uncreatively as every other garbage board game on the shelves. So, I decided to repackage it... turning the class up to 11.

nice redesign of monopoly packaging

Retro Toys: A Free Icon Set

"Thousands of different Lego exist, yet when your seven-year-old asks for “a clippy bit,” you know exactly what to hand him. Giles Turnbull surveys a caucus of children." Giles brings utter joy again. (via infovore)

"This language of Lego isn’t just something our family has invented; every Lego-building family must have its own vocabulary. And the words they use (mostly invented by the children, not the adults) are likely to be different every time. But how different? And what sort of words? Hence, a survey. I asked fellow parents to donate their children for a few minutes, and name a selection of Lego pieces culled from the Lego parts store."

Cute.

The various names that kids call lego pieces. Roland Barthes would smile. s/z

Kid = Never ending Demand For NEW Toys! This equation holds true in all homes, however designer Frantz Lasorne has an excellent project for us that gives a second lease of life to the existing toy collection. Called Augmented Reality, the project combines the joys of virtual reality, imagination and tangible toys. Using Augmented Reality Tangible User Interface (AR TUI) via head-mounted glasses, loads of imagination and old toys, a new environment is created that allows a child to live his fantasies.

"there was but one thing I could do: make a drum machine. Without libraries. Without Flash."

Ridiculously cool - a drum machine in JavaScript. Die, Flash, die.

there was but one thing I could do: make a drum machine. Without libraries. Without Flash. I'm fully aware that there's much better ways of working with sound on the Web, but I'm also fully aware that I like making useless toys. The result of these two realisations? JS-909.
