Ahh, the Sun!

Got a little too much sun today (fortunately, only a little), and am feeling a bit drained. Thus, tomorrow’s post is going to be a bit late. It will still run tomorrow, but not at the usual 8am run time.

Today we celebrate the birthday of one of the most interesting physicists of all time, Richard Feynman. He was a curious character, equally serious about his science and his fun. He would have been 98 this year.

Olio #5: 30 Classic Games for Simple Outdoor Play

When I was a kid, we played outside with the other kids in the neighborhood with most of our free time. We also made the most of recess at school. We kept ourselves quite occupied without any of today's modern technologies.

Things to Love #5: Astronomy: Four Galilean Moons

Jupiter. It's the biggest planet in our solar system. It has a distinctive red spot, a raging storm that never seems to end. It has more moons than any other planet. And four of them are special. They're huge. Like, planet huge.

Things to Love #4: Retrofuturism

Retrofuturism includes imagined styles from the future, conceived of in the past. The 20th century was filled with these kinds of things, as we aimed for the sky and then participated in the Space Race. Anything space-y and modern was cool.

I’ve Got Moxie #3: My Books and Self-Publishing

I've got two books published currently. For one of them, my co-authors and I went the traditional route with traditional publishing. For the other, I self-published. Why? Because that book I wrote for myself, just for fun.
