This is one of the first and finest pictures I have of me and my daughter. Forgive me the luxury of its size. It was taken in mid-January of 2006. Kaylee is about three days shy of five months old — about a month older than Sean is right now. I can’t tell you a [...]

Letters to my Kids: What I Think About Space, Science, and Traveling Faster than the Speed of Light
The world is a crazy place. Unexpected things happen all the time, and while I may plan to be around to have the Important Conversations with my kids, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Or today. I could choke to death on the ham sandwich I make for lunch. These things happen. There [...]
What’s up, Februa– err… March edition
My life has been roughly analogous to that tired duck cliche: churning madly beneath the surface, but kind of boring and not blogging very much up above. Let’s see if I can’t provide you with a clear view of my feathery, web-footed underside. Daddy Obviously, this is the most important news. Sean Douglas was born on [...]
What’s up, January 2011 edition
Things have been fairly quiet here on my home-blog, as it were, but nothing’s been very quiet for me, so I figured I’d document my current areas of activity, just so people know. Those of you who see what I see on Twitter and in GReader might be aware that I’m writing stuff for MMO [...]

They liked me so much that my [...]
Maintaining my Eligibility for the Special Hell
Kaylee: Is this chicken, Daddy? Me: Yes, it’s a special kind of chicken. It’s called ‘tofu’. I was tired, and I didn’t want to get into a long food debate. Sue me.
All Stuff is Nerd Stuff to Somebody
Yesterday, I had the very great pleasure of attending the wedding of two friends of mine. I also got kind of shanghai’d (in a good way) into live-Tweeting the ceremony, because live-Tweeting something automatically takes the Nerd level of an event and doubles it, and this thing was going to be pretty Nerdy. Super-nerdy. Full-frontal [...]
9 years
This is a post of little to no import for anyone other than myself; it marks the ninth anniversary of the day I moved into this house. That’s it. I don’t have any pictures from the very first day or anything, but I have some from quite a long way back: one year after I [...]
