My 5 Year Old Built a Computer
Sunday, October 23, 2005
My 5 year old was sick of seeing me build different computers and while I was out, decided to make her own box. Looks like she is off to a good start, with the 20" flat panel display-actually, it kind of looks like the new iMac G5? She did however tell me that the first icon on her computer was none other than Firefox!Here is a shot of her workstation. The inclusion of the mint tin as a mouse was pretty ingenious (do I smell a mod here?). And that sidebar? She doesn't know anyone with a left sidebar!
The more I think about it, maybe she is running OSX on an Apple. I will have to check out her school computers. She told me the other day that now she needs a cubicle.

The kid should be using Linux!
And where's his porn stash? You gotta watch out for that..

Is that TUX I see when you turn the monitor upside down :)
you made it on digg.com's frontpage. Give your daughter a pat on the back.
notice that even a 5 year old can put the number keys in the right order (0 before 1).
Very cute. Anything that encourages imagination and learning in kids is cool in my book.
wireless mouse, that's neat
How Much For One Of Those Things?
Today a computer builder, tomorrow an eBay seller.
Hey, thanks to all for the heads up on this being on digg. She is totally excited and still seriously wants a cubicle in her room now.
Excuse me but...this computer won't work. It's made out of paper.
It works just fine in her mind! And probably the only thing missing from her mind is - no, not porn you ijits - binary arithmetic. But there's plenty time for that later.
Haha! That is awesome!
Find her a bigger box and let her build her own cubicle. Remind her all cubicles should have pictures of family and friends. She is pretty smart she probably already knows that though.
i knew your kid was a pretty smart cookie! now put her to work, teach her what a cookie is in computer lingo, and you won't have to work another day in your life! just kidding! lots of love to lily!
This is the most refreshing site I have seen all week.
Bravo!
Bravo!

Excellent site, keep up the good work my colleagues would love this. I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks.Website Hosting Companies
