		<title>Update 10: Appliance Fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This summer has been the summer of appliance failure.  First, our water heater died.  And unfortunately, we didn&#8217;t tell the plumber to get one that will get us the tax breaks and the rebate from the utility company, but it works really well.  Then, over the weekend, I was supposed to make something for a [...]

		<title>Update 9: Creative Computing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Image via Wikipedia For the last 3 days, I&#8217;ve been at MIT at a Creative Computing workshop.  I applied for this a while back in hopes of getting some ideas for using Scratch in my classes.  I got a lot more than that.  You know how you go to a workshop on using technology a, [...]

		<title>Update 8: In defense of &#8220;technomom&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Renee Hobbes, a professor at Temple University, writes an opinion piece in today&#8217;s Inquirer about a recent study that shows that kids where a computer has been introduced into the home actually lost ground in reading and math skills.   I agree with most of what she says, which boils down to what a lot of [...]

		<title>Update 7: Murphy&#8217;s Law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Besides paperwork, this has been a week of mishaps, continued issues, and missteps.  On Tuesday, the basement flooded again, taking out our hot water heater.  Thankfully, I&#8217;d had a shower before that happened.  I made an attempt to re-light the heater myself, but chickened out after I&#8217;d found the pilot light.  I had images of [...]

		<title>Update 6: Paperwork, paperwork</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve spent the last few days dealing with paperwork of all kinds, but mostly paperwork for school crap.  There are health forms&#8211;for school and for sports&#8211;registration forms, emergency contact forms.  You name it, there&#8217;s a form for it.  What I wouldn&#8217;t give for some automation of all this crap.  It&#8217;s gotta be a pain for [...]

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been on the road for the last couple of weeks.  We went to the beach and then were home for 24 hours before heading off to London.  The trip was a gift from my dad (Thanks, Dad!) and we stayed with friends of his outside of London.  It was exceptionally nice of them to [...]

		<title>Weekly Update 4: School&#8217;s Out Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow, the kids finally&#8211;finally!&#8211;are done with school.  I&#8217;m not entirely sure why school dragged on so long.  People are claiming we didn&#8217;t even use all our snow days, so that doesn&#8217;t quite explain it.  Of course, Labor Day was late this year, so that partially explains it (given that school begins the day after Labor [...]

		<title>Weekly Update 3: Housework edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There have been many, many discussions around the interwebs about housework and being, specifically, a scientist.  Mostly, the discussion has centered around the idea that women more than men worry about balancing work and life, about an equal distribution of labor in the house, and therefore they write about it a lot and articles about [...]
