virtual squid

[lehser]

Last week, Bruce Schneier's Friday Squid Blogging pointed to a New Zealand (government) site where you can create a virtual squid.  My older child kind of liked it; my younger one is obsessed ("make a squid before preschool?" "yes, after you're dressed, if there's time").  It's sort of cute, though I wish the environment after you "release" the squid were more interesting and/or better done. 

This is the first squid that S created; he seems to have moved on to all-pale-orange squid lately.  I thought this one was cute, and have blatently stolen it for a userpic.
