Happy Birthday, Charles Winkus!

filed under: Dadditudes

Mr. Charlie celebrated his last day of being zero years old by walking across the living room floor holding my hand with only one of his, the other extended like a wing for balance. Oh boy oh boy, we're going to have a walker soon!

Happy First Birthday, Charlie!

Do not - I repeat do NOT - click on this link if you have anything pressing to do in the next few minutes. Or hours. Maybe days.

Coconut Run - from Johnson Controls (Ingenuity Welcome!).

Once you get the hang of it, it's simple - you build a cart to catch a load of 15 coconuts, then you run the cart over rough terrain to deliver them for processing as quickly as possible. Your efficiency is rated by a formula of speed by the number of coconuts delivered.

(Tip: once you've seen what each tool does, uncheck "show tips" so that it stops popping up at you).

I have worked my way up to 96% efficiency which - trust me - required real concentration. My best design yet is here (try it yourself for a while before you peek, so that your design ideas are fresh).

Ad-dic-tive.

Introducing: I Know What's Pants

filed under: Stuff to laugh at

And now for something completely different, after weeks of a depressing top post:

Thanks to an offhand rant at a Youngblood meeting, wherein Josh and Nikole were decrying the rise of leggings-being-worn-as-if-they-were-pants, a new blog is born. Josh, in an apotheosis of rage, cried "Look! I know what's pants, and I know what's NOT pants."

So I created I Know What's Pants as a blog, and Josh has started blogging on it, and lo, it is hilarious.
