Aram Sinnreich: Configurable building blocks

Configurable building blocks

I love this project by MIT Media Lab grad student David Merrill. They're computerized, self-aware, socially-aware, manipulable blocks. Depending on the software you run through them, they can be an audio sequencer, an interactive storybook, a spreadsheet, or a visual art program.

Can't wait to see what Nintendo does with this technology in 10 years!

(Thanks for the link, Mike)
