Today I was out with the family and I got to see 2 different gadgets that I’ve wanted to see for a while. The first was the iPad, the second was the Kobo eReader. The iPad was what I expected a big iPod touch, and though I could see enjoying one I just can’t get …

Who am I writing for?
Last week the anniversary of the launch of Geek With Kids passed without comment from me. This wasn’t an intentional slip up. I was working on a post for the occasion all last week it just never got published. Looking through the draft folder on my blog shows a bunch of posts in various stages …

Motorola Milestone: First thoughts
Last week I picked up my Motorola Milestone, my first Android Smartphone. It’s quite a jump from the Windows Mobile I have used for the last 2 years. It had become clear to me that I needed a new phone in the fall, but it wasn’t till the Millstone’s release that I was confident there was a phone worth upgrading too. I know that a lot of people say that the nexus one is a better phone but I like the physical keyboard. So once I convinced both the misses and the phone company that it was a good idea that I had this phone I picked it up.
Project 365-092: Enjoying the Sunshine
This morning we took advantage of the record high temperatures to head out to the local park. Both our little ones enjoyed themselves… though I couldn’t really get Violet to walk on the sand. One thing I really liked about today is I fired up the grill for lunch and dinner. It felt like summer, …

Project 365-087: New Neighbours

Project 365-83: All in a row
Today while Jacob was playing he lined up all his little people. I asked him what they were doing and he said waiting for the train. He then proceeded to get his Big Animal train for them to board. I’m not sure why he didn’t get his little people train, but he seemed to like …

Project 365-081: A Helping Hand
Before Jacob went up to bed tonight, I got him to help me with loading the dishwasher. It was fun to see how excited he was to help. After each dish he would come back to me asking what else he could put in. I think we’ve found a new after dinner routine.
