Engadget: Nyko ships $25 Zoom Case for DSi: because your DSi totally needs a zoom lens

Posted by on under gaming peripherals, steel shelves, shell case, dsi, cold steel, eight times, zoom, nintendo, alg, ships, nbsp, nyko, product design team |

Remember that wacky zoom lens attachment for Nintendo's DSi that was launched back in January? Amazingly, the product design team convinced everyone else in the company to move ahead with plans for production, and now it's making its way out to cold, steel shelves. $24.99 buys you a hard shell case for your handheld along with a detachable optical zoom lens, which supposedly gets your sensor eight times closer to a given subject than Nintendo ever intended. You'll also be mocked eternally if you're ever caught using this in public, but hey, maybe you're thick-skinned.

Kottke: Raising minimalist children in a society of excess

Posted by Jason Kottke on under billis, televi, aying, captivate, frt, dsi, free time, real world, parenting, brain, parents |

How do you simplify your life and possessions when kids are in the mix?

Don't feel guilty. Modern parents are made to feel as if they are depriving their children of "the best" if they don't sign them up for every lesson, take them to every movie, or buy them every brain-enhancing toy. Advertising companies are paying billions of dollars to make you think this. It is not reality... it is a fictional version of reality they are selling. Let it go. Don't "buy" into it. You are not depriving your children; you are enhancing their mental and emotional development by letting the real world around them captivate and interest them. Do you think the Smiths' kids are really better off because they spend all their free time in front of a television or playing with a DSI?
