Unpaid Product Placement: Wedgits
I haven’t recommended a product in awhile, but Toddler T recently turned three, which reminded about one of my, er I mean his, favorite toys: Wedgits. They’re diamond-shaped plastic pieces that you can use to build some pretty cool structures. If I were pretentious I’d talk about how they “invite complex thinking and experimentation; refine spatial orientation, perceptual skills, and dexterity; and promote understanding of geometric concepts.” Frankly, T’s favorite part is kicking his creations across the room.

You are a closet Civil Engineer or Architect for sure. :)

Tom: A closeted something anyway. :) I’ve always been interested in architecture and one of my favorite classes in school was Drafting.

From what I know about you, you’d make a very good Architect.
Problem with Arch is that it takes several years of grueling schooling and then several years or working experience just to sit for the first of 8 exams to be a registered Arch (in the US).
I have my lackeys do my drafting now. :)

“‘Matthew knew he shouldn’t be taking his AK-47 to the 7-Eleven . . . ” One of the all-time great lines. The guy got no jail time, by the way. Call me crazy, but if you’re taking your AK-47 to the convenience store, you’re responsible if somebody gets killed.

bjk: I haven’t figured out how to get the delicious links as a separate daily post (I will eventually), but until I do try to keep the comments on topic.

Looks like the real life Art Vandelay has emerged. We just never knew he was actually a stock market operator.

Todd: I get the Seinfeld reference, but was he an architect? I thought he was a marine biologist. :)
