I'm not sure why Ernie has two people to control him but found this picture interesting.

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...
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...
Wicked Show in San Fransisco
As I mentioned in my previous blog post, we went to see Wicked on Saturday night at the Orpheum Theatre. The Safeway Employees' Association (SEA) was one of the group sponsors that night, so there were a bunch of people from Safeway. Before the show, we went to Osha Thai for dinner, which was really nice. We sat in the balcony, which ended up being great. I never once thought we were sitting too far...
Christopher Langan: The “Smartest Man in America”
I found this video on YouTube and have to say it is very interesting. Langan has one of the highest IQ's of anyone ever measured, one which even exceeds Einstein's. Ironically, he worked as a bouncer in Long Island and when you see the video you can understand why he may have chosen that as his career. His story very much reminds me of Good Will Hunting, a movie about a genius who decides to...
