So There're These Things Called PixelBlocks...

April 2, 2006

I'd seen them at ThinkGeek for quite a while, but I never put in an order. PixelBlocks, they are. For whatever reason, I finally got around to grabbing a 2000-block pack (12 colors) last week. By design, they're great for rendering into plastic what one might find on a computer screen. But given the limited palette of home computers of years past, these blocks seem ideally suited to bringing to life classic retro computing scenes. They're pretty great.


It's a modest first go, but the above little character definitely brings to my mind memories of some pretty fun moments behind a joystick, back in the mid-80s. Anyone know who he/she is? Anwser correctly and I'll mail you one of my blocks. (I won't really.)

I had got a desire to start my commerce, but I didn't earn enough of cash to do that. Thank goodness my close friend advised to take the loans. So I used the student loan and made real my desire.

Liberals should be more sceptical. It is natural that the state and politicians believe that all citizens should pursue an active interest in who governs them. However, that is not the case.
