Old school technology is torture
My kids have no clue what a rotary phone is, and they certainly do not remember Internet access via dialup. They think email is old school. If they can not send and receive messages instantly they think they have missed out on something.
Postage? Get real, you want me to mail something, now why would I waste my time and money on postage.

Television and Kids
I saw an advertisement recently for a new DVD of Looney Tunes. These were the best cartoons of my childhood and we also had some great TV shows to watch, Gilligans Island, Hogan Heroes, The Brady Bunch and Andy Griffith just to name a few.
It is so different now for my kids, there are entire channels devoted to the kids. The major channels that I am familiar with are the Cartoon Network and Disney Channel. Disney has a revolving door of shows and stars it has created over time and they just kept creating more.

Fathers Day Fun
I hope all the Fathers out there had as much fun as I did on Fathers Day.
My 2 teenagers pitched in a bought me a Mahalo White Flying V Ukulele. I had been looking at the Ukulele as a potential new instrument since seeing the Jake Shimabukuro video of him playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps. If you have not seen it, check it out.
The kids gave me the Uke on Saturday so I could have fun all weekend, and that is exactly what I did.
What really impressed me was how much stuff is on the web for the Ukulele, [...]
Numbers
The television show Numbers is one of my favorites. I guess that really shows my geek side. Although they push the envelope a little, numbers and math are definetly a major part of life.
I have been reflecting on numbers for this year, and how my age is starting to show.
31 - Years since I lost the vision in my right eye. I guess since it was at an early age is the reason it does not seem as critical as other things, although I am reminded everytime I open my eyes.
14 - Years since I did chemotherapy. And it amazes [...]
Mr. Mom
My lovely wife has been away for a few days, and I am soooo glad she is back !!
I will admit that my teenage daughters are not as hard to take care of as they once were, but, I know that my wife does so much on a daily basis to make our family run smoothly. I consider myself a pretty good man when it comes to helping around the house, however, keeping up with the kids and all their functions is a little overload on top of my daily work and duties.
My wife would call and start asking me [...]
No no no, I don’t wanna I don’t wanna, No no no I don’t wanna, no no!
This is my theme song today. It is “Tantrum” from Sandra Boynton’s Dog Train CD and it is performed by the Spin Doctors. I think you can listen to it here. It starts out slow, but gets faster so listen to the whole thing if you have time. And if you have kids, the whole CD is really good. As are her other CD’s, Philadelphia Chickens and Rhinoceros Tap. Parent friendly, kid approved. It is cold. My weekend was insanely busy. I am hormonal. So, no no no I don’t wanna I don’t wanna (run). Funny

Christie Brinkley sets cops on ex-husband over kids safety fears
American fashion model Christie Brinkley reportedly called New York police after she learnt about her husband Peter Cook''s plan to alter their travel arrangements, and transport their two kids in a single-engine airplane. She had slammed Cook in a statement issued by her legal team last week over his decision to go public about their marriage split in a recent U.S. TV special. With a view to keeping their children-daughter, Sailor, 10, and son, Jack, 13-from viewing it, the two came to a
The Accidental Stew
The Accidental Stew posted by: Erika in Uncategorized on 10 13th, 2008 | | No Comments » Saturday was our up-in-the-air day as far as dinner was concerned. We had activities that made actually preparing dinner difficult, but we had the time to eat it. We really didn’t want to go out for dinner, with Andy working out of town yet, he eats out four nights a week as it is, plus lunch and breakfast, so he really looks forward to home cooking. I did have a bit of time earlier in the day to

10 Ways To Permanently Stay In Debt
If you haven’t already heard the news, the debt clock in New York has reached it’s capacity and can no longer keep up with the debt. As a temporary solution, they removed the dollar sign and began using that as an extra digit to keep up. The long-term solution is to make a new clock that has two extra digits on it, taking us up to a possible quadrillion dollars of debt. If we reach that mark, I’m so moving to Europe! Personally, I think the government should use this as a wakeup call, but wha

Shadow rant - analysis please…
… Late on Friday night, a little the worse for wear, we posted on the iniquity of the great DJ Shadow coming to China with 5 weeks notice and playing in the musical obscurity that Clubs Richy and Angel will afford. We first contacted Shadow’s people 4 years ago to see if we could bring his prodigious talent to China, and we know that many other serious music biz people here have done the same. He is one of a handful of artists that we felt would be able to change the music

Oh, Hai, Ku! Tiggy’s Day in Poetry
A poet recently won $100,000 in a literary competition. $100,000 just for writing poems! I’ll have some of that. I can’t be bothered to write long rambling epics a la Wordsworth and Milton, so I’m going make my fortune writing haiku poetry. A haiku poem has three lines. Each line has to contain five syllables for the first line, then seven for the next line and five for the last. Even someone as numerically challenged as me can count to seven. Just. The poem has to skillfully convey a feeling
TomKat’s kitten desperately need some friends
It looks like Suri Cruise, the 2-year-old daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, doesn''t have too many friends. Suri, who is mostly spotted with her mother, gets extremely excited whenever she sees other kids, according to a source. "Whenever she sees kids, she gets excited and runs up to them and hugs them as if she never gets to see kids her own age,” the New York Post quoted the source, as saying. “There''s not a lot of socialization there," the source added.

Now with Remote Parental Unit
A replacement key for my car runs into three digits, because there’s an electronic chip hidden therein. A scanner on the dash looks for the chip, and if the chip isn’t found more or less where it’s supposed to be, the car won’t start. Still, a single-function chip like that is just so last decade, compared to this: Ford Motor will roll out a feature on many 2010 models that can limit teen drivers to 80 mph, using a computer chip in the key. Parents also have the option of programming the te
DC Universe Online video shows behind the scenes dev
After the break. It’s Jim and the rest of the kids at SOE talking about the upcoming PS3 and PC MMO, and there’s plenty of combat-related gameplay in there. There’s explanation about why you can’t actually “be” Batman, or whatever, and some stuff about treating environments like characters. Pow. It’s out next year.
my weekend in photos
Coming down the canyon snow starting to fall (yes I have a cracked windshield) and look at all the pretty fall colored leaves on the trees. Woke up Sunday to snow all around and the kids made their traditional haunted ginger bread house. The kit looks very similar to last years easter kit rather than halloween.
ON SPORTS
ON SPORTS Written by Michael Reist on October 13, 2008 – 12:35 pm # 50 in a series of 52 from The Dysfunctional School By Michael Reist Sports have saved many kids. They have destroyed a few too. How can sports be handled in such a way as to bring life? We talk about “having goals” and “achieving goals.” For some kids this is best experienced as a physical reality. I put the puck in the net. I put the ball through the hoop. Sports are often an outlet for students who don’t like school. T
Giving Thanks
We’re not having turkey and stuffing this year. My whole family is very sad. My husband and I are divorcing and the kids are aching. It’s a long, sad story, as fractured-family stories tend to be and the he-said-she-said serves no end, so we’re just trying to do the deed in the most civil way possible. Alex was saying yesterday how jealous she is of her friends. She’s a little sour on “family” right now, but is still wistful for the days when it was all clicking along peacefully and we knew w
Puno - Lago Titicaca - Puno, Peru
Jump to the full entry & travel map Puno, Peru 3 months 12 days ........... On Friday we said farewell to Arequipa and took the 8AM bus to Puno (altitude 3820meters). Now, I could just leave it at that - it sure sounds easy, a simple bus ride. However, I'd be forgetting that all the kids were feeling sick, and James had to go to the bathroom in the worst way, but they closed the bathroom (because it stinks) to serve a snack (a package of crackers and Bimbo chocolate cupcakes

TANSTAAFL, yet again
http://www.boston.com/business/articles/… WASHINGTON - Congressional leaders yesterday urged the Bush administration to swiftly use some of the $700 billion financial rescue fund to purchase stakes in the nation’s largest troubled banks, a historic step widely considered crucial to freeing up credit around the globe and injecting new confidence in battered stock markets. The calls for speedy action to effectively nationalize segments of the banking industry came as Democrats called for
