The beauty of playing with building blocks when you're a toddler is that those simple wooden cubes can be anything you want: A skyscraper, a car, a robot.
BUGlabs' new BUGsound, designed by ECCO, is a building block of a different sort, filled with tech goodness: "A flush-mount 20-mm speaker and omnidirectional microphone with hardware stereo codecs and four 3.5-mm stereo jacks for third-party inputs, outputs, headphones and microphones." Give the thing some juice, then you decide what it is--a portable music player, speakerphone, mic, audio processor, or whatever your little hacking heart desires. Conversation is already underway on their blog, here.
