The good old days are gone. It's the world of latch onto tech or fall by the wayside. I'm going to take a risk: I'm not gonna latch and I'm willing to fall a bit. I love old-fashioned...it just may prove to be my downfall.

No surprise that she grew to hate leggo.
I find that frustrating in observing parents with their kids. No matter what the toy, encourage don't stifle the creativity or lessons that can be learned. Okay I'll shutup now..sorry turned into a bit of a soapbox rant =)
Love your work Yoni.

I think one commonality of creativity is children who are allowed to break the rules. Going crazy with Lego and drawing outside of the lines with crayons!
All the best to you in 2011!

I think "Big George" Foreman might have been tough on toys. He's a great inspiration to lots of people - he started out as rough as Sonny Liston & Mike Tyson, but (after losing to Ali in one of history's great fights) completely turned his life around. In his 2nd career, at 45, he became history's oldest heavyweight champ - as a huge, slow-moving target, but with a great new-found understanding of Human Nature (he was a reverend in between). He knew if he could take enough shots (and boy, did he) against Michael Moorer, Moorer would get cocky & stand right in front of him. BAM - a one-punch KO (Big George was big & slow - but he still had POWER!).
I definitely agree about the kids w/crayons, too - that where it all begins!

I think the thing that strikes me most about Foreman, from both a personal perspective and a Marketing perspective is how he managed to re-invent his personality. In his first incarnations he was a mean SOB. Then he became a loveable affable teddy-bear. Had he stayed the mean guy, he never would have had the boxing crowds behind him and when it came to marketing, he never would have sold a single grill.
