I am so getting this app and taking it to the Star Trek exhibit on Saturday.

I think it's safe to say the geeks have won and have indoctrinated the youth.

Lex's class is setting leprechaun traps this week. I went all fantasy on the design.

I talked with him about the design of the trap. He settled on a salt circle with the leprachan's true name written inside. Putting these years as a fantasy writer to good use.

Lex is working out the details of how hyperspace works on that Lego spaceship he built.

How to split up the US. It's interesting how we can map culture directly instead of just through inference.

Though it does look like one of those alternate reality maps of the kingdoms of the US.

Lex pressured me into buying "Labyrinth". It turned out to be a game of surprising depth.

German board games are where it is at these days.

The Universe by Lex McDowell

via picasaweb.google.com

Lex has been reading a number of books on space lately and wanted to write one himself. He was even kind enough to give the attribution for his major source. A very good first scholarly work.

"I think you'll find that the universe, pretty much covers everything!" (NSFWish)

via knowyourmeme.com

In my line of work, one must constantly debate whether the universe does indeed cover everything. We don't like our flights of fancy being curtailed.

Man this lemonade is good.

Penguin's Upcoming iPad books. Interesting look at Penguin's ideas for what they want book to become.

via youtube.com

This feels like the beginning of the web, though with a lot more motion and interaction. It will be interesting to see if there is a design explosion again. Also I'm wondering if not only will the print establishment not be as facile in this as they may have wanted to be, but also how all the web trained interaction designers will fare.

One thing that I'm looking forward to is that this seems to be a medium of content and not mainly a storefront.

Lego - The Force Unleashed (via Ted). Great lightsaber fight. And in Lego.

Ted used this to win a point about more or less Lego in the house. It's compelling.
