LEGOs

I have a toddler and he has rekindled my love of LEGOs. Even though he is playing with DUPLOs (their larger cousin), the idea of dumping out blocks and building something crazy or interesting or different has brought back great feelings from my own childhood. I always knew they were cool but I forgot just how cool LEGOs are. Today I found (thanks to the New York Times' Abstract City blog), a great use of LEGOs.  I LEGO N.Y.  Go check it out, it's one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. I guess LEGOs are on the brain for me lately. There was even mention of them in the book I'm reading by Michael Chabon (Manhood for Amateurs). 

My parents still have boxes of Legos from when I was a kid that I cannot wait to share with my son when he gets a little older. Personally, I'm going to enjoy building spaceships or castles as much as he does (at least for a while).
