A (brief) education in 80’s music videos

With all the talk of Michael Jackson’s death, I was trying to give my 9-year old son a synopsis on his life. Boy, was that tough. Even showing him pictures of Michael from boyhood to manhood raised more questions than I had answers for.

Swimming class

Owen had his second swim class tonight and was doing great. At one point during the breast stroke he got an ‘Atta boy!’ from his swim instructor, who’s one of the head instructors for the whole school system. Afterward he was smiling and happy as he always is after a good swim.

The power of the printed picture

I love this whole digital world, but it’s so abstract. Great, I can put my laptop on my lap and look at stories, photos and videos. But what if the whole internet thing goes ka-put someday? What if the online place you house your stories, videos or photos dies as another fad takes over, or […]
