Everyone knows that I’m a PC person. Macs. Well, no comment. 😛
I came across this video on Gizmodo.com and got a good laugh out of it.
Rideable Vacuum Cleaner Concept!
When I saw this rideable vacuum cleaner concept, I just cracked up! 😀 My kids would love it too much and probably break everything in the home, but props to Kristina Andersson for such an awesome idea!!
What makes me a nerd/geek
Well, I was not born a nerd… but I soon became one. 😛
So here’s what I consider to be the stuff that made/makes me geek or a nerd
1. Took Calculus in high school… in my junior year
2. My favorite author in high school was Arthur C. Clarke
3. I spent countless hours playing RPG games on my hard-earned NES
4. My Verbal SAT score was almost half of my Math SAT score 😮
5. I observed how calculus was applied in real life
6. I loved to derive equations and formulae
7. I memorized a car’s performance and features
8. I could tell what car was on the road after a quick glance
9. Star Trek: The Next Generation is da bomb
10. Capt. Jean-Luc Picard is da man. “Engage”. “Make it so, Number One.”
11. I love sci-fi and fantasy movies
12. Was a fan of Lord of the Rings before the trilogy movies came out.

Is that sufficient to be categorized as a nerd/geek? I believe that geeks are mostly pretty benign and safe people. Nerds however can be somewhat stuck up. 😛 Geeks are the ones that make the world go around. Understanding people that are different from you is part of what makes you a human. Fearing difference is the beginning of violence among humans. Trying to understand that difference and embracing is what love is.
Star Trek meets steampunk!
Just had to share this!! Hee hee hee… 
see more steampunk stuff here! 
Nerdy geeky stuff at its best!
The Animated JJ
One of the things I prayed/hoped for in my kids as they grew up was that they’d be able to become the types of people that could enjoy the life carpe diem style.  Well, you know what they say… be careful what you wish for, ’cause you just might get it!! 
JJ is such case. He is soooo animated! He is full of expressions and isn’t afraid to show them! Case in point, the train ride. Pictures do speak a thousand words!
Just watching him and his expressions gives me joy and life!Â
This one above is by far my favorite! I was told that I looked like a cartoon… to me, it shows a window to enjoying the life God gave us. I am soooo thankful and glad that JJ isn’t afraid to be himself and enjoy it! 
And to end with this picture shows just how uniquely he and his sister play … such creativity just brings me smiles. 
What it feels like to be a kid
So it rained today. Again. After the sun set, the kids wanted to ride the bike still. So we went out. Sure enough, there was this big puddle of rain water. Soon, the kids started to bike across it back and forth. Then, Anna got off her bike and started to run across! And then jumped up and down. And repeated for the whole time! It’s good to be a kid. They had sooo much fun! I forgot what it feels like to be a kid. 
Famous Last Words…
1. That should do it.
2. I’m almost there.
3. It’s perfect!
4. I got it!
5. I’m so good at it!
6.
Yup… see a pattern?  Anymore?
