Zoom H1 Digital Recorder
I’ve since ordered the Zoom H1 digital recorder and find the recordings to be amazing. Now I understand other people’s concern with “handling noise” when holding the H1. I solve this problem by attaching a micro tripod to the H1 and handling only the tripod if I have to [...]

Zoom H1 Digital Recorder
The other day I randomly decided to try creating a song in GarageBand on my Mac. Not having read the instructions or anything I just jumped right in. Before too long I had laid down some percussion tracks that sounded pretty good. I knew the song I was going [...]

Wow, this one caught me by surprise. I had no idea that the 747 still had legs. I figured it was on it’s way out in favor of the Dreamliner. With the new 747-8 coming into service, hopefully this amazing machine will continue to be a frequent sight in the skies.

Wow, this is some amazing stuff! Yesterday, IBM’s super deep thought computer named Watson appeared on Jeopardy and competed against two human opponents. This is absolutely fascinating stuff! The introduction into the computer itself and how it is set up (including it’s boundaries) is very cool. I really like the fact that it “knows [...]

I recommend these two inexpensive welding goggles for steam punk costumes. One pair is also ideal for a Dr. Horrible costume, it just needs a little silver paint. These are quite popular with the steam punk costuming crowd, and many go on to add accessories and other Victorian details.
There are two versions [...]

Your child may have asked you for Squishies. You may be wondering what the heck they are and where to buy them. Well, here is the answer.
What are Squishies?

Organizing LEGO Bricks
I stumbled across this article the other day and feel that it needs a breath of fresh air. It was written back in 2001 and is probably still very relevant (to a LEGO collector) today. It was written by Remy Evard.
By the way, I’m currently at Stage 16.

During our last trip to The World in 2008, KidCot was a hit with the kids. This year (beginning of October) we “discovered” Kim Possible and were completely blown away. We know nothing about the show, so were somewhat skeptical of getting involved in the Kim Possible “attraction”. But we gave it a shot.

I recently saw on Facebook that a number of friends were taking the Autism Spectrum Quotient test for fun. It is a serious academic survey that results in a number indicating your position on the Autism spectrum.
Not wanting to broadcast my results to the world via Facebook, I searched for this test outside [...]

There is a fun, little known game that occurs every day on Tom Sawyer’s Island in Walt Disney World. Cast members hide Tom’s paint brush somewhere on the island. If a guest finds it and returns it to a cast member, the guest is often rewarded with some sort of prize. Our family had [...]
