Dad Gear: REI Kingdom 6 Tent
Winter is over, summer is here. So it is decreed by the gizzard stone. Put on the shorts and shiver through the last few cold morning and evenings like a man. And while you’re waiting for the summer camping season to really kick in, like most dads you’re probably surfing the web for sweet new ...
Kids on Big Rigs
I was kind of surprised that he never cracked a smile. I guess it was too important, there was too much to do. He wanted me to close the door, he wanted to “drive that one.” he wanted to go in the bounce house and stay there forever. There was a fundraiser Saturday for High ...
Saturn’s F-ring
Every planet in our solar system is known for something. Mars is The Red Planet, Jupiter is the Giant Planet and Earth is The Planet with Twitter. I think everyone can agree that Saturn with it’s swirling surface and elegant disc of rings is The Stunning Planet. I’ve been looking at images of Saturn since ...
Lickable Wallpaper and Dreamers of Dreams
Someone finally did it. They made likable wallpaper just like in the Roald Dahl Classic book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the equally a classic Gene Wilder film, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. If you remember the scene then you remember the bit of wisdom Wanka bestows upon an impudent Veruca Salt when she protests ...

Dad Gear: Big Agnes Little Red 15 Sleeping Bag
Our son is entering his third camping season this summer and his first with his own sleeping bag. Now that he’s 2 he’s wwwaaaaayyyy to be to share a bag with one of us, and too active at night to be stuffed under a pile of blankets. So we went down to REI to pick [...]

How Digital Cameras Work
I’ve been into photography for a while. When I started it was stealing dad’s camera and getting yelled at not to take a photo cause each snap cost money. Film was expensive to buy, develop and print. When I was in high school and college I was into black and white photography and printing. Rolling [...]

Amazing Juggler: Michael Moschen
My dad is a juggler of sorts. He can juggle 3 balls and toss one behind his back. A few years ago he picked up juggling bowling pins. And then this year he got into throwing knives. He taught me to juggle and sometimes I juggle for my son to keep him entertained in the [...]

I eat my peas with honey
The strange thing is that my son loves peas. He prefers them cold and eats them with his fingers. I did not love peas and my parents had some tricks to get me to eat them. My dad’s was to tell me that if i didn’t eat them, caterpillars would crawl between my toes. I [...]

Cool Places: Black Rock Desert, Nevada
We rode into the wind. It was just chilly enough that I put my son in a sweater, but my wife and I pedaled our bikes in shirt sleeves. His helmeted head bobbled above the cracked mud and kept bumping me in the back as he repeatedly kicked my legs in excitement. We rode for [...]

Aqua Satellite Images of Earth
Wired posted their favorite Images from NASA’s Aqua Satellite today. The Aqua satellite circles Earth taking photos that study water, water vapor and the interaction of water and land and humans. My favorites are the ones that show volcanic eruption clouds of ash and smoke! One of the stars of NASA’s fleet of satellites is Aqua. The [...]
