Pop art food for kids

Pop art food for kids 03/14/2003 01:08 PM
New York Times article about brightly colored, toy-like, packaged dinners for kids.

"The new products are a mix of adult-pleasing convenience and child-pleasing shock value ... a hamburger meal with a patty shaped like a house and cookies that look like bricks... a line of jellies for dinner rolls in flavors like watermelon, sour apple and banana... hot pink and electric blue margarine... neon-colored salad dressings with names like Purple Pizzazzz and Outrageous Orange.... blue fries, which can be dipped in the purple, orange, pink and teal ketchups..."

Getting Kids To Program Old School Video
Games 04/06/2005 06:48 AM
It seems that every recent story about Atari has been about their attempts (in their modern form -- quite different from the original Atari) to make a killing on the nostalgia market, offering up classic games from years back to today's adults -- either on computers or (increasingly) on mobile phones. However, it appears that many feel the basic concepts of old Atari videogames are still valuable for game designers to learn -- resulting in a competition to design new games for the Atari 2600. Of course, there's one twist: the games needed to be created in 24 hours. While the story is amusing to read, what it really does is remind people that, despite all the amazing graphics found in today's game, a game is still about gameplay at its core -- which many of today's game designers seem to forget.

Home Is Where The WiFi Is (And In Some
Fast Food Restaurants)

Home Is Where The WiFi Is (And In Some
Fast Food Restaurants) 01/07/2004 06:35 PM
A new study shows that more and more homes are likely to get WiFi connections. This seems like one of the more obvious predictions around, but it's still interesting to look at the numbers. The study points out that there are currently about 100 million broadband connections to the home worldwide - and only 5 million home users have WiFi. However, with the technology getting cheaper every day, and the clear benefit of having a wireless network in the home, it's likely to grow pretty rapidly (and, of course, that 100 million number isn't static either). This leads to two thoughts: (1) we still need to make setting up a WiFi network easier. Early adopters will mess around with finicky access points, but most users won't. It really needs to be plug and play. (2) Once more homes get WiFi, expect the unexpected in how they're used. Just like businesses are discovering - once that wireless network is there, there's no reason not to use it for other purposes as well. More devices are going to come with WiFi, and if they can just hop on an existing network, people are going to come up with all sorts of creative uses. Meanwhile, McDonald's continues their "we'll test a different location every few months" rollout of WiFi, as they've agreed to WiFi up over 500 restaurants in the UK. It looks like they're just teaming up with BT to be a part of BT's Openzone WiFi offering. That doesn't seem like the best choice, since already there are (reasonable) complaints that Openzone's pricing is way too high for what people get. In early tests in the US McDonald's was using a very smart pricing plan (buy a meal, get an hour of free service). It's unclear why they're not going with a similar plan in the UK. By offering up service with a meal, the internet access becomes a promotion to get more people into the restaurant. By charging insanely high fees for it, it doesn't bring in too many extra people, and certainly won't bring in much money.

Do home-schooled kids have better
manners?

Do home-schooled kids have better
manners? 06/15/2004 06:19 PM

On Sunday I attended a block party hosted by a friend up in Newburyport.  He had hired an English circus family to perform and afterwards I served some food and drink to the 13-year-old and 16-year-old members of this family.  Unlike the typical sullen American teenager they had exquisite manners.  It turned out that they had never been to school.  They'd lived their whole lives traveling around with their parents and siblings, oftentimes in a smallish RV (they started calling themselves "the Sardine Family" because of these cramped quarters).  All of their education came from their parents and from older siblings.

Could it be that going into a community of thousands of teenagers (i.e., school) is bad for a kid's manners? And that spending time with a high percentage of adults (i.e., home school) is good for a kid's manners?

Spying On Your Kids Is In For 2004

Spying On Your Kids Is In For 2004 12/22/2003 04:27 AM
It's no secret that most new mobile phones come with location-based technology included - whether using GPS or some triangulation method around the nearest cell towers. While some were afraid that this would mean annoying text message spam or that the police would be able to spy on your whereabouts thanks to the E-911 problem - instead, it looks like people are just going to be spying on each other, with special emphasis being paid to the ability for parents to spy on their kids. Now, I can certainly understand the desire to keep tabs on your kids, but constantly spying on them seems counter productive. It certainly doesn't give them much confidence in their own ability to make decisions without having their parents looking over their shoulders all the time. Treating your kids like prisoners with location ankle-bracelets seems likely to, well, make them act more like prisoners, rather than kids. Now, clearly, this technology wasn't around when I was growing up, but I still appreciated the fact that my parents trusted me to do the right thing when I was away from home. It made me feel more comfortable since I knew that they felt comfortable enough with my decision making ability.
