A parenting miracle from Jason Kottke. Use it to teach your child a science lesson… or simply convince them that you’re capable of magic. Either way, you’re a hero.

I have this habit of concocting “band name”-worthy phrases based on things I read, hear, or discuss in my daily life. I was suggesting to my co-worker Todd that I should get a notebook and write them all down. He suggested something even better: blog them. So, every time I think of [...]
