DCI The Countdown! The Major Leagues of the Marching Band

Morning!

And where will YOU be tomorrow?
I know where I’ll be - watching DCI The Countdown!
Now, if you’re the parent of a marching band kid (or, ahem, a marching band kid now grown up and a parent), you KNOW this is the movie event to rival Star Wars III! To wit:
…Coming to National CineMedia […]

Is your kid going to graduate and work pouring coffee?

I just came across

this superbly brilliant article about your child’s college education and their job future. To wit:
…The CPRN says there “appears to be a mismatch between what young Canadians are being trained for and the jobs that are offered,” with the result that many end up pouring coffee, answering phones or […]

Pulling together a epic adventure in 3 easy lessons

Morning!
The sun is shining, the birdies are mooing and the cows are performing trigonometry and I have so much work for 2008, it’s insane.
I need to:

update all the IM how-to books I’ve written (pain)
update all the sites that use the CJ eBay information (beyond pain)
revamp the TAA sites (agony beyond comprehension)

If that wasn’t enough, […]

this can be applied to my kids?
….With all the development of alternative energy today, it was bound to come to this: Introducing solar-powered brainwaves.

Is your college age child a geek?

Just came across

this incredibly hilarious compilation - warms the cockles of my heart. To wit:
… especially gems like:
Someone says, “What are the odds?” and you calculate them.
You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
Your fraternities make Flash websites to promote their party.
You’ll assume a “horse” is a “sphere” in order to make […]

BJJ Gi!

Morning,

I’m thrilled to pieces that instead of having to spend between $60-$100 for a Brazilian Jiujitsu gi, I snagged one off of day for over half. Yippee!
Today will be a most quiet day. BJJ in the morning, advanced karate/kendo/sparring in the evening, and lots of work/kids/etc. during the day. I discovered […]

Ultimate Fighting and Boxing and Dog Brothers, oh my!

So have you

heard about Ultimate Fighting and Boxing and MMA (mixed martial arts) yet from your kids?
Basically, it’s rather intense fighting within a ring/cage/etc. that must be extremely, ahem, character-building for the participants. It can be taken to the extremes with cases like the Dog Brothers Pack, a rather intense fight club that […]

Karate katas, pre-writing blog posts and more

Morning!

You know, one of the best things about Wordpress is that you can automatically configure it to post in the future, thus giving yourself a break of 2 or 3 days. I spent most of yesterday pre-populating my various blogs with interesting content and setting up the scheduler to post at random times […]

What my kitchen needs - a foldable Kitchen Faucet!

Now this would

certainly make my kids the envy of all who see them:
…. This is definitely unique innovation for a kitchen faucet. Kohler has introduced Karbon Articulating kitchen faucet with futuristic look and sure futuristic functionality. This Karbon Faucet articulates from a compact pole-looking into a long arm when you need […]

The Rickroll to end all Rickrolls

You’ve probably heard

of a Rick Roll, right? It’s anything that is sooo compelling that it makes you click on a link….and takes you to the 80s clip of Rick Astley singing, Never Gonna Let You Go.
What’s rather amusing is this tends to show up in all walks […]
