These would be right up Nate’s alley, but they would look just as cool in the living room (if I were a bit hipper, that is).
The set of four can be purchased at the Fro Design Co Store for $80
Hey, don’t forget to enter our Wally the Wonderbug Giveaway and check out our ideas for Mother’s Day Gifts for Nerds.
Ok, so Parenting had a contest where if you retweeted a link you were entered to win Kolkraft’s newest baby play saucer, Wally the Wonderbug. I retweeted it thinking that you, my dear readers, would be interested in the contest. Lo and behold, I won. I never win anything, so of course the thing I would win would be something that I can’t use. Every single baby in my life is just a little too big to enjoy it (the weight limit is 30 pounds), It’s a shame too, because Wally the Wonderbug is pretty awesome.
From the Kolkraft website:
The Kolcraft WonderBug Activity Center opens up a world of discovery and development for baby in the form of a cute, lovable bug. Eight development toys help entertain baby and develop basic motor skills. A bouncy seat pad and a seat that spins around make the Kolcraft WonderBug Activity Center a great solution for growing babies. For games, contests & more check out our Wonderbug website www.kolcraft.com/wonderbugFeatures

Action Comics #900 is in the news right now for spotlighting an issue that has largely gone unexplored at this point: What if Superman doesn’t want to represent the “American Way”?
“I’m tired of having my actions construed as instruments of U.S. policy,” Superman says in the issue after someone on the President’s staff chides him for attending a protest in Iran.
Pundits on both sides have shared their opinions:
In a Fox News article on Superman’s proclamation, “GOP activist” Angie Meyer is quoted saying, “Besides being riddled with a blatant lack of patriotism, and respect for our country, Superman’s current creators are belittling the United States as a whole. By denouncing his citizenship, Superman becomes an eerie metaphor for the current economic and power status the country holds worldwide.”
And:
In contrast, the same piece quotes Wired‘s Scott Thill, saying, “Superman has always been bigger than the United States. In an age rife with immigration paranoia, it’s refreshing to see an alien refugee tell the United States that it’s as important to him as any other country on Earth — which, in turn, is as important to Superman as any other planet in the multiverse.”
What do you think?
