- "The fact that it’s pretty much completely useless to the person actually wearing it!" Well, you can always look at your reflection in a mirror or window!
- I've tried to use one of these cigarette lighter jumpers before, and it sucked. The lighter has relatively thin wires going to it, and as a result, you can push much less current to the battery...

Back when you didn't have a computer in every house, and tapes were still cool it was neat for kids to design a "big ear" amplifier, or a buzzer that turned on when the lights went out.
Now that you can go to the toy store and get a video games system for the cost of the snap circuit pro, or toy cellphones that really work, or an MP3 player - there isn't as much draw.
What we need now is a electronics kit that let's kids use the ARM9 processor with the color LCD display and the GSM cell phone internet connection. Attach the processor to the lcd and modem, drop in the TCP/IP software and JPEG interpreter, and *poof* an instant photo frame that not only your grandparents will be surprised at, but your peers at school will want.
Lego's NXT is about as close as we can get now, and it's as expensive as newly released video game systems.
I suppose I'll have to do it myself.
