I am starving. And I have totally failed at bringing my lunch this week, but that's mostly due to me barely having time to make dinner let alone cook extra food to bring to the office.

I'm not going to a concert for two whole days! Thank god. I need some naps.

We also had some sort of "guess the word" game. I don't remember what it was called or who made it, so I haven't found it at that site yet. It had a membrane keyboard with all the letters, and an oval-shaped display. Any ideas?

mac currently has a leapster and v-smile both of which are educational, but I think we may only have another 9-12 mos for them. There are games, specifically math ones for leapster that could stretch the use for a few more years, but that is only if he stay interested and will actually use it.

I still have my Merlin, and a few years ago I showed it to my nephew, as an example if the Electronic games I had growing up. He could not have thought it lamer.

Hee!

it taught me that Tic Tac Toe gets really boring about 3 seconds after you figure out how to force a tie every time, ages before War Games came out.

'Greetings, Professor Faulken. How about a nice game of chess?"

My nephew thought I was BS-ing him when I told him Merlin was "state of the art" when I was 10-11. It was pretty funny

Can I get some love for the Speak & Spell?

Can I get some love for the Speak & Spell?

We didn't have that. I think I developed an irrational dislike of that game after E.T. used it to phone home....

Man, I don't know if it's hormones or what but this

just made me weepy. I may be too invested in my internets.

I *always* wanted a Speak & Spell! My friend had one and I would play with it for HOURS. I attribute my spelling bee success to it.

Can I get some love for Simon?? [link]
