Quick hits

Please note some additions to my blogroll(s). Glen Rotchin is a local author/schmatte district property manager. His appropriately titled novel is "The Rent Collector". If you read the Gazette's book section, you've read his book reviews. I think we went to the same high school (Bialik) around the same time.

Don't you wish your father was geek like me? If so, send him to Geekdad, a cooperative blog from Wired. I'd take a moment to explain it, but there's too much. The focus is broad: it doesn't restrict itself to toy-geek, computer-geek, or gamer-geek. It's a selection of announcements, films, and pointers to anything fun and technical, from wasp biology to origami telescopes to how to get that Rock Band microphone to work. It's a new daily visit for me.

Speaking of geek dads, I noticed that my book is up at Amazon.com, but it's not available. I should make some available - once I get more stock. I'm all out.

Child Three visited the Montreal Science Centre without his geek dad yesterday. Click here for his first ever broadcast report. Remember folks, if you're going to have clones, make sure they have something to do. (The video will only be up for a week, but I may upload it myself later.)

We faced the team we beat 10-0 again this past weekend. This time, they had present a kid who I think might be the best in our league, if the all-star game was any indication. We won again, but only by a 5-2 score. That kid scored both goals, identically: a fake right then a deke left to put it in the open side.

Now, off to shower and do carpool....
