A Day Worth Living Is A Day Worth Remembering

thumbs_up

Don’t let life pass you by, try and savor the special moments in life.  I am 11,588 days old and you may have had more or less days on Earth than myself.  When you look back at your life thus far, how many special moments come to mind?  If you are struggling to think of something you may want to alter how you are living your life.  My general rule is if you are pondering whether to do something, ask yourself if doing what you are pondering will likely be remembered in a positive way for the rest of your life.  If the answer to the question is yes, if it will benefit yourself, and others without harming anyone, I say it is something worth doing and chances are it will be a day worth living!

Nice Try: Kids of the Future

I never enjoyed C++ in college but I got through it.  It will be interesting to see if our kids grow up learning programming methodology in our schools.  Since technology is constantly changing it would be tough to teach a child a programming language they could use after graduating but if we taught students programming methodology it probably wouldn’t hurt.  If you have no idea what the comic means it is a kid who wrote a function to write “I will not throw paper airplanes in class” on the board 500 times. How do we teach our kids of tomorrow the skills they need for an ever changing technical workplace?

Tyler & The Cat Food

This is a video taken last December of Tyler playing with a bin of cat food.  As you can probably hear in my voice I was sick (was constantly sick back then).  This is a pretty cute video from the “Jeremy home video vault”.  Tyler can’t ever say he wasn’t well documented as a kid.  Warning: I’ve been told this is a boring video but I thought it was cute.

Safeway Bring Your Child to Work Day 2009

I volunteered for Bring Your Child to Work Day this year and had fun watching the kids yesterday.  Ironically I think they taught me more than I taught them.  Our group had three volunteers for about 60 kids but they were surprisingly well behaved.  I had two bathroom runs, rescued a girl who lost her shoe in a race, and had to separate a battle for a wristband but we didn’t lose anyone so I considered it a success.  🙂

Cathy from Energy Operations was there to teach the kids about renewable energy.  For some reason my camera couldn’t focus very well with the bright window behind her but it is still watchable.  I loved watching the kids perk right up when she mentioned candy for getting the answers right.  She was vying against cartoons for their attention but candy prevails.

Eric the Magician (Eric Tate) was there to entertain the kids and it was fun to watch how skeptical they were of “magic”.
