Random Stuff

posted in Personal |

For my international readers, I’m trying to not be the ugly American and exposing my kids to new things, including soccer.  I don’t understand the fascination with it at all, it bores me to tears as there doesn’t appear to be any strategy whatsoever, but that may be because we are dealing with six year old kids here.

All this talk about white, gray, or black hats.  Let’s not forget the bucket hats.

Bucket Hat

This is what happens when a son asks his mechanical engineer father to build him something to hold butterflies.  He ends up with a contraption that has three doors and a remote operated isolation chamber.  It’s so heavy the poor kid can’t move it, on the other hand you could park a truck on it and it would support the weight.

    So, what does one use for “bait” for catching butterflys in that contraption?

    It’s a cage for the butterflies after they are caught. The actual catching takes place with a net and a butterfly that’s landed on a flower in the yard.

    It looks pretty interesting.
    How about a short video showing how it works?

    I took a short video of Colin singing the ABC’s, 30 seconds long and over 50 MEG, I don’t know how to compress it, and I doubt many people will sit around to download it.
