Egg separation

I'm sorry in advance.  She is way too much sunshine for most of the regulars around here, but the trick is pretty cool

Viral and whatever, but it's still pretty fun

Electronics cross post

Just a cross post to let people know I did an actual post on that other dumb blog about Electronics kits for kids.

So as all parents tend to do, I project the things that I wish that I had done onto my child and have been very excited about the prospect of teaching someone very young about electronics.

I previously had been interested in the Snap Circuits series[?] or here[?] of educational toys, but I'm sort of afraid that they are too limited (though very safe for little hands).  The Little Bits electronics kit looks more polished and will give a more compact finished product, but I'm concerned about the tiny pieces ending up in kids mouths.  Snap Circuits advertises as for ages 8 and up, where as Little Bits doesn't specifically have an age group.

Both of these options have some great opportunities to teach not only responsibility (with somewhat dangerous parts), but hopefully pique my child's interest in electronics.

Google Affiliate ads

So in an ongoing effort to document when I'm being a shill as per the FTC rules (know the laws of your country kids) I am going to start participate in the Google affiliate ads program.  That means some links will take you to a site that you could buy the specific product I'm talking about.  They will be marked every time, and link back to this page to let you know "Hey that link is an ad that could result in me getting paid should you buy it".  In essence it's an advertisement, but hey so is everything else in the world.

Why do this, or should you care?  I hope that they are unobtrusive (they are links not and not those annoying hover over keyword ads you see on tech reporting sites) and related to whatever I'm interested in.  Should that be interesting to you too, well all the better.

Epic Tea Time

I had a few days off from the internet, and so I have some catch up posts to write. If you haven't watched this, or didn't like Inception... You should just quit the internet.

Don't like Elvis, tough I don't either.  It's a great cover even if it is on a uke.

Trippy Animal Collective Indie

Are you one drugs?  You should go somewhere and come down, because this video may make you come unhinged.  The song is pretty good, but the video... well the video makes me feel like I just tripped the light fantastic.
