So today as the sun beat down and the temperature climbed into the mid 30s I headed for America's 30th best small town, Bryan, OH to talk to the very lovely people at Ohio Art. And they really are very lovely people.
Ohio Art are the people that brought the world Etch-A-Sketch and while the manufacture of the toy may have moved overseas they're doing all that they can to keep the brand, the company and the people who rely on it healthy.
Right now I have everything crossable crossed (I've tied knots in the rest) that we're going to be able to figure out a way to work with them. Partly because I love the toy. Partly because I'd really love to work with the people there. And partly because I love the idea of helping come up with the next generation of Etch A Sketch toys and games.
Plus the drive home - through cornfields on roads that narrow enough to make overtaking a rush - is enough to make you want to holler.

Etch-a-Sketch - YAY! Couple of things - could they find some way to "lock" the image so when you carry it downstairs to show mum & dad what you drew the image doesn't go away because you shook it a bit too hard? Also - *diagonal lines*, people - it can't be that difficult, just another axis, 45 degrees is fine.
And when are you coming back to sivvileyezayshun? We miss you :(
