During the process of authoring, photographing, and recording our CompTIA A+ certification videos, my home-office tends to be visited by most of my family. My seven year-old son has taken a keen interest in the pieces of technology thrown about the room, and he’s become quite adept at building and dismantling motherboard components.
This weekend the outside world joined the home-office world with the creation of our first lego-based network adapter card. Running at 100 lego-bits, this LCI (Lego Component Interconnect) adapter bears a striking resemblance to some other personal computer technology.
Here’s a picture of some of the inspiration I keep around the office:
In this close up, the LCI interface is clearly visible:
The LCI network interface adapter connection can be seen here:
Do you think he’s ready for the certification test?
This is brilliant! I am a huge fan of Lego myself despite the age. Will definitely introduce that idea to my kids 🙂
Now, that is cool!
Would that be a 32 or 64-bit lego NIC? Either way, I can see he’s already way ahead of me!
That is too cute. Yes, I think he is well on his way.
