My friend and colleague Ellen Reavis Gerstein has shamed me into revealing that my last post was April, 2007. I now have to feed the blog beast daily or else. So, today’s comment is about  sparkly things like jewelry and electronics. Having spent the Thanksgiving weekend with my red-headed thirteen-month old grandson, Evan, I realized that everything the pundits and critics say about sparkly lights and electronic pushy buttons on toys is true. Kids just love to push buttons that make things sparkle and make noise. When we are adults, we just like to acquire things that sparkle without having to push any buttons. Yes, jewelry. However, voice recognition on VCR/DVD/HDTV/Digital cameras would be super. I’d just like to say “take that picture of Evan being cute on his little horsey” without having to push any buttons. Just an fyi.
