One of my pictures from flickr was featured in the MAKE | MAKE Flickr Pool Weekly Roundup.
I called it my “Instant Superman Costume” Liam likes it because the costume change is so easy. I took this picture in November when I made it, but he actually played with it again this week. Fun stuff.
One of the things that has drawn me to science fiction is my love outer space. The sheer scope and scale of the universe is real mind boggling. I have thought that lone ship traveling out into the solar system was like a stone skipping out into a lake. Hopping along from place to place [...]

THis video explains how RSS works in a simple straightforward way.
So I have spent a good hunk of the last two days trying to fix computers. Namely, our iBook(old Mac laptop) that we’ve have since 2003, and our 2006 MacBook (new mac laptop-thanks Dad). The first sign when something is wrong is when a dark grey screen descends and your computer tells you [...]
