I have to disagree on the Lego point. My son is a huge Lego fan, and is pretty damn creative with it. Yes, they're getting more specific with their pieces, and yes, it's to force you to buy as many of their sets as possible just to get a piece which only appears in that set. But it's still a very creative toy, and my son has made some amazing things.
One of the things I love about it is when he has other boys over, they build Bionicles together, and make big threatening looking critters to fight each other. When his 13-year old female babysitter comes over, they build detailed house interiors with big screen TVs, bunk beds, sinks and bathtubs. He's a fascinated with their new architectural sets as he is with the ones with lots of guns.
I have no experience with LEGO whatsoever, but I grew up building Meccano sructures from kits, including an operating crane that fed a O gauge Lionel train set.
Pink Ouija Board Targeting Girls Riles Critics
It doesn't seem as though it's an inferior Ouija board, however.
Math no longer tough for Barbie.
I worked with a couple who came from China. She's a wiz with math and computers as is he. I must say she was one of the top five most talented software developers then at the little r&d company of about a hundred people in Eastern Ontario. Nortel scooped her up after our outfit went bankrupt.
Womanist Musings tackles the issue of the pink microscopes and race.
My office is a sea of pink for a baby shower right now. Barf.
We have a baby shower upcoming here later this month. Hopefully, that colour will not ubiquitous.
I'm just thinking, and I don't think I've made the connection before, but my office holds "bridal" showers for women in the office who get married and for women in the office who are expecting babies, but it never holds them for men getting married and rarely for men welcoming children. Is this typical of an office environment? Sorry, thread drift ...
This shower without a doubt means I'm going to spend the afternoon being asked when I'm going to get married and have a baby.
The problem with pink is someone always thinks it's cute, like these.

That's not drift, that's progress.
