If I were to rank the TV shows I spend the most time watching, Sesame Street — or, as Loyette calls it, “Fi-Fi!!!” — would probably be second only to “assorted live sporting events” (if that even counts as a show). Such is the life of a parent of an almost-two-year-old. 🙂 As a result, I tend to get random… Read more »
Turns out, today isn’t just Guy Fawkes Day… …it’s also Flux Capacitor Day!
Remember, remember the fifth of November, The gunpowder treason and plot, I know of no reason Why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. More videos here. (Hat tip: C. Stephen Ludlow.)
Notwithstanding the scary events that transpired up in Oregon, I had a great Halloween. Loyette went trick-or-treating for the first time — she was a pirate — and seemed to enjoy herself a lot. (She also loved helping us give candy to the neighborhood kids.) Loyacita came along for the ride in the Baby Bjorn, dressed as a tiger. Both… Read more »
Via @denverpost a few minutes ago: “According to the roof of The Denver Post building, 11.25 inches of snow fell here so far today.” And there’s more coming tomorrow. Quite a bit more.

In honor of the anniversary, Mac OS X, iPhone and iPod touch users can download Carina’s SkyGazer astronomy application, free for today only…. Read more »
If you’re like me, and you missed 12:34:56 7/8/09 in your time zone, here’s your chance to catch it again… in the Pacific Time Zone: UPDATE: Clock removed, because the hour has now passed. Here’s a screenshot for posterity:
Hope you’re all having a great holiday weekend. Here’s a photo from today’s ingenious Stapleton 4th of July parade, in which the “floats” are the strollers and bicycles of the neighborhood’s abundant kiddo population: This evening, we’ll head to Becky’s cousin’s barbecue, and then hopefully catch some fireworks. Happy Birthday, America! P.S. No baby yet. 🙂 P.P.S. With apologies to… Read more »
