And they do! My girls devour novels in their free time, but still enjoy reading together before bed (or on roadtrips). Best of both worlds!

And don't be surprised when the best laid plans go awry and/or your child has zero interest in what you think is THE world's coolest thing.

Fair point about the quota. In my defense, we didn't set the "100" goal until we were at book 53. I happened to sit down one day and make a list of books we had read and thought, "Wow! That's a lot of books...I wond

I'm sure some of this was already mentioned, but here it goes... Read to your children. We set a goal of reading 100 novels to our daughters. We're at #80 and the girls are 13 and 11. Create some traditions. Whenever either of our

The Bad Day - "I didn't like today, and also it was super bad." Simple and to the point. I love it.

I was a distance freestyler when I was young and a butterflyer when I was in college.

Correct! We played other sports, but were lucky enough to grow up in a small town with a strong swimming tradition.

I'm the youngest of three boys. We were all D1 athletes. I'm the slowest by a pretty substantial margin. However, I matured faster than my brothers and, having been able to observe them, picked up proper techniques and approaches

What a great gig that must have been! Another SE Michigan native here. Grew up going to hockey games at Yost and Munn while, of course, rooting for the Red Wings. Lots of good memories!

Thank you for this. Great motivational reading! I started building simple, 2D clones last month but have been losing steam in the face of how much work goes into even a simple game. Who knew so much goes into 80s arcade hits!?

Great, thanks! Seemed like a fun idea. The goal / scoring seemed a big vague to me. An option to click on a letter piece and then click on a tile to transfer it to that tile would be cool. Drag and drop works, but felt like a hassle at

Totally agree. Claiming Starbucks killed Seattle coffee culture is a total joke. There are plenty of funky, independent coffee houses to support if you're willing to look for them. The price is generally higher than Starbucks, but so i

I won a WM-701C from WIQB in Ann Arbor, MI when I was a kid! Mine was the 10th Anniversary silver edition which was amazing.

Is one of the challenges the fact that you have too many options at your disposal? I've found when I want to learn something I frequently go collect 5-10 books/videos on the subject, but I have a theory that this is opposite of wh

Dave Shea (CSS Zen Garden), Eric Meyer, Jeffrey Zeldman (A List Apart), Jeremy Keith (DOM Scripting), and others who escape me provided the foundation for the CS classes I taught 15 years ago. Thanks guys!

Ahhh, yes. I really meant the "-" operator and not the "+" operator.

Of course, this relies on what data Google has on hand. Many of the examples provided in the article work because Google has so much data about "Apple" searches. The more niche the search operator, the more likely no results will

Yes! Consider drafting a plan with some defined goals/deliverables to keep you focused and efficient. Otherwise, such a break might morph into a pseudo-vacation. I can imagine where that might breed tension and frustration.

I would argue "hard" is relative and every job has aspects that are "hard" or "easy" depending on the individual. While I appreciate this thread seed, to point to either set and label it seems arbitrary.

A more appropriate title might be, "Selling a Stair Climbing Dolly..." as this is mostly a story about understanding how to get in front of your target audience and sell through the right channels (Facebook, Costco, Bed Bath &

I wonder if we'll see that change with the proliferation of communication across so many mediums. Between mail, email, texting, voice, social media, etc. staying in touch with a cohort might be much easier and more sustainable.
