After throwing a blanket over her own head: “POOF! She was gone.”
3-yr old: “You can’t tell me that!” 2-yr old: “Why?” 3-yr old: “You’re not a grown-up!” 2-yr old: “YES I AM!” 3-yr old: “NO YOU’RE NOT!” 2-yr old: “YES I AM!” 3-yr old: “YOU’RE NOT A GROWN-UP; YOU’RE IN A BOOSTER SEAT!!” 2-yr old: “What?” 3-yr old: “You’re in a booster seat. . . . → Read More: Things overheard in my house lately

By Jeff, on February 27th, 2008 The Players:
Dad – in the upstairs office, working Mom – …indisposed 3-year old, aka “Little Mommy” – playing in playroom 2-year old, aka “Stinky” – playing in playroom
So I’m sitting in my office, writing an email, the entire house quiet, when I hear Mom enter the playroom downstairs and stop short. Then an exclamation: “OH! What are you doing?” When that was repeated for the third time with the same mix of shock, . . . → Read More: Little Mommy drops the… um… ball
By Jeff, on July 7th, 2007 When I returned from my vacation yesterday, my computer would not recover from hibernation mode (i.e., it wouldn’t turn on). I went into a local computer store today to ask a couple questions and my wife and kids stayed in the car. Apparently my wife was explaining to my 2-year old why I was in the store, because when I came out, my daughter asked if my “proputer” was broken. After I confirmed it was, . . . → Read More: A child’s view of computer repair
By Jeff, on December 31st, 2006 I’ve been quiet on here for a couple weeks due to some time pressures. Lots to do during the lead-up to Christmas, as I’m sure you can all understand. I had it all planned out – a full week of vacation to get it all done – but then some problems at work forced me to give up most of my “free” time.

By Jeff, on October 26th, 2006 National Sex Offender Registry
Familywatchdog.us is a pretty impressive site. Not only does it provide an extremely important service, but it is a great use of technology. It also shows how a little information can be used to make your life very public.
The purpose of the site, as you might guess, is to let you know whether any registered sex offenders live or work within a certain distance of the address you enter. The . . . → Read More: Does a sex offender live near you?
By Jeff, on February 16th, 2006 Ohio Board Undoes Stand on Evolution – New York Times (free subscription required)
The Ohio Board of Education voted 11 to 4 Tuesday to toss out a mandate that 10th-grade biology classes include critical analysis of evolution and an accompanying model lesson plan…
Okay… this makes no sense to me. What is the problem with a critical analysis of evolution? Is the case for evolution so bad that it can’t withstand critical analysis?
