SteamBox

So I bought a steambox for the living room. This is like a PS4 - but instead of PS4 games, you download Steam games. Not all games on Steam work, but some of them are exceptional (and in particular, they tend to be from Indy shops).

One of those, is OctoDad. You can get it for your phone too! Uninstall Minion Rush today, and get this instead!




How to do a science project without tears

The Final Thing - 8 hours and out.


So I want to create a formula for "Doing a science project with your kid" that is PAINLESS. 

Now, most of you with male children have discovered that if there's one thing they don't want to do, it's professional-grade science project board layout. So here is a formula that teaches your kid science, without the sucky parts.

1. Obtain some animal or plant. (I ordered mosquito larvae online)
2. See how some substance (soap in my case) effects it when added. Do this maybe 10 times. Take pictures using your phone of the process as your kid does it.
3. Write whatever it is down on paper, but then enter it into Google App's spreadsheet with your kid. Click the five buttons you need to make a bar chart out of it. Print that shit out.
4. Have your kid use Prezi to create a small presentation about it, then download that presentation as a PDF which you can print out.
5. Paste the presentation, the pictures, and the simple graph on a poster board.
6. DONE.
