I was a professional musician for 15 years. After having kids, the amount of time that I would've had to spend on the road playing and selling t shirts would've far outweighed the time I would've had to be home raising them,

Buy a t-shirt. That's the most direct route to actually help them out with as few middlemen as possible.

Interesting, I hadn't heard anything about that case (and it's very obviously rubbish!).

Agreed. Lots of folks bashing on this thing, but Zakas has a serious pedigree. I have several of his books. I have to think if anyone in JS land is capable of surveying the other ideas out there and distilling some solid concepts out of th

A big chunk of the govt has been moving everything to Drupal for the last 5 years.

This also seems opinion based. I'd argue Drupal has a much stronger community ;)

Trust me, a kid the age of the one in the ad can take it apart and make something different. Mine do it nonstop.

No, Lego still does. Mine just discovered them this past Christmas. They'll build them 5 times in a row and then trade with each other so they can build a new one. I tell ya, as much as I remember loving Legos when I was a kid, there
