What's your favorite kid toy?
Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Snap Circuits
Saw Snap Circuits at a friend's a few weeks ago. Great toy for kids to learn electronics. Kinda like electronic components done as Legos. "Each block has a function: there are switch blocks, battery blocks, conductor blocks, integrated circuit blocks, etc. These blocks are different colors and are numbered so they can easily be identified while constructing your circuits."

My daughter (8 years old) enjoys PicoCricket. It came out of the MIT Media Lab and is similar to LEGO Mindstorms (which is also came out of the Media Lab) but with a focus on creative art projects, not robots.
