this is where we really live -- it's adjacent to the kitchen but has no television, so it feels sort of 'away' .. . . like the rest of the house, it's a constantly evolving design experiment (even the kids are involved -) and a wonderful place to do homework, read, play board games, or just have a chat. it's also teddy's place space -- if you explore the photostream you'll see shots of the wall you can't see here, which has three of those ikea ps cabinets in red, for toy storage. fun.

The B&O Railroad Museum is a museum exhibiting historic railroad equipment in Baltimore, Maryland, originally named the Baltimore & Ohio Transportation Museum when it opened on July 4, 1953. It has been called one of the most significant collections of railroad treasures in the world and has the largest collection of 19th-century locomotives in the U.S. The museum is located in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's old Mount Clare Station and adjacent roundhouse, part of the B&O's sprawling Mount Clare Shops site begun in 1829, the oldest railroad manufacturing complex in the United States.

 

Mount Clare is considered to be a birthplace of American railroading, as the site of the first regular railroad passenger service in the U.S., beginning on May 22, 1830. It was also to this site that the first telegraph message, "What hath God wrought?" was sent on May 24, 1844, from Washington, D.C., using Samuel F. B. Morse's invention.

 

The museum houses collections of 19th- and 20th-century artifacts related to America's railroads. The collection includes 250 pieces of railroad rolling stock, 15,000 artifacts, 5,000 cubic feet (140 m3) of archival material, four significant 19th-century buildings, including the historic roundhouse, and a mile of track, considered the most historic mile of railroad track in the United States. Train rides are offered on the mile of track on Wednesday through Sunday from April through December and weekends in January. In 2002, the museum had 160,000 visitors annually.

 

The museum also features an outdoor G-scale layout, an indoor HO scale model, and a wooden model train that children will enjoy climbing on. From Thanksgiving through the New Year, local model railroad groups set up large layouts on the roundhouse floor and in select locations on the grounds of the museum. A museum store offers toys, books, DVDs and other railroad-related items.

 

The museum and station were designated as a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1961. In 2008, the Museum won three awards in Nickelodeon's Parents' Picks Awards in the categories of: Best Museum for Little Kids, Best Indoor Playspace for Little Kids, and Best Indoor Playspace for Big Kids. Television and film actor Michael Gross is the museum's "celebrity spokesman".

I spend alot of time in this space. The setup uses two Ikea Jerker desks - combined. I just swing between them depending on what I'm working on. The setup was gradually built up over a year and a half. I spend time editing my pics[D40/18-55/50/55-200] / playing TF2 or working on an embedded project.

 

IKEA should get back the Jerker desk. Both the desks were got off Craigslist. If there is more interest, I'll label all the stuff on the electronics bench with purchase links in a separate pic.

 

If you need to know anything specific, please ask it in the comments, I'll answer or leave a comment on my homepage(link above).

Tucked away in the North West corner of Hindmarsh Square is a unique interactive playspace featuring concrete and steel sculptures designed for exploring, climbing and encouraging imagination.

Children can make up games and stories, have little competitions, play chase or any number of games their creative minds come up with.

This facility on Canal Fields in Berkhamsted has been fenced off since late March and it presents a pretty depressing image. No pubs for the adults, no playspaces for the kids. The Swan Youth Centre runs the park which is popular and extremely well used (even if there are a few 'incidents' now and again). The extension was opened a couple of years ago, lobbied for, designed and fund-raised for by the town's young people. Canal Fields previously hosted an open-air swimming pool which opened in 1923 and was still going in the 1980's I believe. Can't find any reference to when it closed.

Consistent with the weekly theme of "Beginnings" in the 365-2013 Group, I am creating a new workspace/playspace/office for myself. This used to be my oldest daughter's bedroom, but she moved out years ago and it has been sort of a dumping ground for exercise equipment and mismatched excess furniture and miscellaneous stuff. It is now "my space", complete with elliptical machine, which I use 30-60 minutes a day while watching streaming movies or DVD's, my favorite books and family photo albums, my new desk, laptop, camera equipment, framed photos, sewing machine, etc. I still need to order new shades, as the large bay window is cold in the winter time.

So I had a Halo midnight release party last night, and we actually spent most of our time getting not ONE, but TWO death machines to the very bottom of the Silent Cartographer and into the map room for the first time since the game came out in 2001. We actually just started out ramming them through the first security door and then somehow kept shoving the hogs down small holes until we ended up at the bottom of the map. I didn't even think it was possible but we were fueled by unquenchable determination (ADHD) and accomplished the feat, coincidentally, at the perfect time.

made some changes today by rearranging the toys. It amazes me every time how moving them around creates a whole new excitement in their playthings.

i like this space in our house -- it's a room with lots of uses, from entry (our side door opens right into it) through playspace for teddy, our six year old, to hang out space for tv watchers and storage place for soccer bags and cleats and backpacks and gloves and goggles and even games; it's also a space full of repurposed things, from a fixed-up-with-old-quilts sofa, to a vintage breadbox with wheels used to store hot wheels to an assortment of estate sale art, to a set of old lockers stuffed with kids' stuff (sprayed a fresh blue at the auto body shop), to a tree stump (from our yard) turned side table, to an antique, very primitive cupboard piled high with games and decorated with this month's postalpix .... just perfect.
