DD8 managed to find Minecraft without any parental involvement. A friend showed it to her. Next thing you know, she'd downloaded the free version to her iPod.

Yeah, she spends way too much time with it, but it does appear to have some benefits:

- She's already starting to type like a pro. Plus, the cheat codes are giving her first-hand experience with command-line interfacing.
- It gives her something in common with other kids.
- It's something I can spend time doing with her that isn't dolls.
