			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fifty years ago today, the <a href="http://www.etch-a-sketch.com/">Etch a Sketch</a> was invented. This wasn&#8217;t my favorite toy when I was a child, but recently I visited <a href="http://www.childrensmuseum.org/">The Children&#8217;s Museum</a> in Indianapolis where they had an Etch a Sketch exhibit.</p>
<p>They had a giant Etch a Sketch that was pretty cool. It took two people to turn it over.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cosmopolitanconservative.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1010995.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2492 aligncenter" title="P1010995" src="http://www.cosmopolitanconservative.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1010995-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>They also had reproductions of the artwork featured <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/howaboutthat/7885062/Etch-A-Sketch-turns-50-amazing-art-created-with-the-drawing-toy.html">here</a>. Those impress me. I never figured out how sketch more than random lines that intersected with other&#8230;lines. With my luck, I&#8217;d finally figure out how to create something awesome and then drop it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Indy Children&#8217;s Museum was very awesome (lots of photos on my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/addygrrl88/sets/72157624063679715/">Flickr stream</a>). My first professional job was at a children&#8217;s museum, so they have a special place in my heart.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Oddly enough, <a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MThjYTI0MmY2MzQ0MmE2NzJhODZkMDgzZTA4NGUwOWM=">National Review Online </a>reminded me of this historic occasion. NRO, now covering politics, culture <em>and</em> celebrations of classic toys? I&#8217;m not going to complain. I look forward to their perspectives on <a href="http://www.hasbro.com/litebrite/">Lite Brites</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glo_Worm">Glo Worms</a>.</p>
