Interesting ideas - having a company now that is all about architecture (of a different kind than would be built by cardboard), of course I think about architecture and re-usable building blocks more than ever. Neat tweak on Legos, Cuboro, Megablocks, Lincoln Logs and other playful architectural elements. They're Bloxes, originally created by the venerable Jef Raskin of Apple fame.

Cardboard creativity
"A few months ago, the Google Open Source team had an offsite in our Chicago office, and we were looking for something fun, social, and geeky for the teams to do during informal discussions. Before that, my colleague Aza had shown me a cool new thing that he was making called Bloxes -- interlocking cardboard boxes that were something like giant legos that connected on all six sides. They were actually invented by Aza's father, Jef Raskin (who started the Macintosh project at Apple), and were originally intended to be used to build flexible workspaces (like easily morphable cubicles). Having seen some samples of what you could build with them, I thought it would be fun to order a bunch of Bloxes for the team to build things out of while sitting around chatting and brainstorming."
