Lego Duplo
When we were kids, my dad came back from a trip to the US with the most awesome toy bar none: Lego. If there is one toy a child should have, this is it. She (or you) can create all the other toys. We enjoyed many many hours, days, years playing with them. And it didn’t end with childhood. I later got myself a Lego Mindstorms set which, long story short, eventually resulted in me and my friends’ winning the Sun JavaCup 2000. Eventually the Lego sets were handed over to our youngest sibling Jack. I’m sure he enjoyed them as much as we did. Last weekend, I finally got Jeanne her first Lego set, a box of Duplo basic bricks. And does she enjoy them!

Snake: YouTube Edition
Everybody with one of those classic monochrome Nokia phones would know Snake, that game where you control a snake going around the screen consuming apples which in turn makes the snake longer and longer and making it harder and harder to consume more apples. It was quite useful when you’re waiting and bored.
Now if you’re watching YouTube and you have extremely slow Internet connectivity (like when you’re using Sun “Broadband” Wireless) you will be waiting and bored a lot. Worry not, as I discovered just today, the cool dudes at YouTube apparently programmed in Snake in their Flash-based player. Just press any of the arrow keys when the rotating buffering animation comes up on the player screen. Have fun!
