I and The Bird #19/Crane Cam
Wow! Where did that two weeks go? The latest I and The Bird is up at Science and Politics and it is massive! It is so good to see this grow and grow, and even better to see that many of the old favourites are still there. There are many jewels there, including the always…

Move over Art Lad
Yesterday afternoon, Travis got a couple of pieces of paper from our printer, took a pencil crayon and went off on his own, quietly creating… A picture of mom…and a picture of dad. He pointed out to his mom that dad’s legs are longer than hers. And I noticed that he got all three hairs…

How to make a flooring transition
One of the consequences of one of our local stores forgetting our order for glue and transitions for our floating floor was that the transitions would not arrive anywhere near quick enough for us to work on the floor. We decided to cancel that part of the order and make some of our own. Now…

Ego
Sometimes the stangest things happen. I just got asked if I’d mind being interviewed by someone who is writing a book on Blogging.

(Obviously I can’t get this done on) Friday Construction Post
Welcome to Clare’s fine furniture emporium! Part of my week was spent building a bench for the front entrance way. The bench is made of solid birch and while not the heaviest piece of furniture we own, it is close. I think it turned out rather nice and will go well in the entrance. The…

Gratuitous Father Podcast
Guess what we did this afternoon (sorry for the quality, taken with my point and shoot camera). Then we went and warmed up at the House.

18 already! I and the Bird turns adult.
One of the truly cool thing about this blogging thing, is making connections with people from many walks of life, and reconnecting with others (Hi Scotty!). A while back I received an invitation from one of the organizers of the Great Backyard Bird Count, Rob Fergus of The Birdchaser. Rob has done a great job…
