Technology for Toddlers?
July 31st 2004, 06:53 CEST by Jibble

Kids learn a lot through manipulation of our three-dimensional world.  If you've ever sat down for a four-hour session of repetitive video gaming, you know what I'm getting at here.  Are kids really learning anything from all of those kid-oriented web sites, or are they just learning how to jump through the right hoop and then doing it over and over without additional challenge?  Do you think that the family discussed in the article is a typical example, or an exception to the norm?

Thanks. I'll post some newer stuff tonight. Alienworld is one of the first things I ever did.

The sign on the Psychic's window is awesome.

Oh, yes, I did. I forgot to email you back, however, as this weekend I spent over 30 hours working on horse arenas. I have the tan to prove it.

I can do everything for a little under $30. I am assuming everything is four color.

Sure, it was a, a vacation, that's it. I did have a chance to read the last round of emails and the strips are actually funny. It's shocking!

sometimes there's a him, a hem, and a haw involved too.

By the way, if signatures weren't for perverts, I'd totally sig this.

Speaking of 'all about me,' this marks the first time I've ever used a picture of myself on an interweb forum. It's kinda creepy seeing all the little-me's staring back at, er, me.

E-mail me the final particulars, and let's see if we can do business.

I'd like your pixel art more if there was at least one Mario and/or Mickey picture.

Jeet, be careful what you wish for. You may end up with the most obnoxiously pornographic Mario/Mickey combo ever conceived.

This doesn't stem from disliking you, but rather and intense hatred of Mickey Mouse.

How the fuck can you hate Mickey Mouse?  If you want to be trendy and hate the "Disney Corporation" I'll understand....but not liking Mickey is just wrong.

Eh?  That's what he IS wishing for.

And shave your beard, out of the corner of my eye it looks like you've got a really high collar like you'd find in some budget sci-fi thing.  Well I suppose you could keep it, but only if you start striding back and forth and rant about crushing the rebellion.

Indeed. First 3 times I saw it out of the corner of my eye, I though I was looking at JC Denton.

I personally dislike the Mickey Mouse character. He's been transformed into the amorphous blob. It doesn't even remotely resemble a mouse. Also, I admire the work of the old school disney animators even if I don't care for the company itself.

Mickey always seemed bland to me.  I prefered the extended Donald Duck family and the retold fairy tales.  Otherwise, give me Warners.

I forgot to address the beard questions. Here's a better pic of the beard. Usually it is a bit cleaner than this; I am purposely growing it out to silly lengths. I want to see how much worse my wife will tolerate it.

I'd have to check with the missus, but she said she would mail them for me today. If you haven't gotten an email with a tracking number, then probably not.

Mickey in the comic books/strips was way way cooler. Look into it. Also Carl Barks' Donald Duck stuff is awesome.

Fascinating, I'm sure.

I talked to my wife and she was too swamped to get the ROMs shipped. I'm going to bring a bunch of the sets to work tomorrow and mail them myself. Tracking numbers will ensue.

Every time Mickey was in his own comic he was an arrogant jackass. Goofy was just the stupid wingman.

I'm up due to severe dental pain coupled with a painful and agitated stomach, angry at all of the antibiotics I've been taking.  Also, Doom 3.
