  • As I read books and articles, I have a habit of saving unique words (or phrases) that I like. I’ll be sharing them here on occasion, so you too can sound smart at dinner parties.


    Pettifogger

    1. Someone who quibbles over minor details.

    I think I like this word so much because I can be a pettifogger at times. Unfortunately this is a trait my sons have inherited; if I say the time is 7:30 and its only 7:29, I will be corrected 🤦


  • AI Cactus

    My Father’s Day card this year had a cactus theme, as my boys know how much I like them. However, my favorite part was the AI cactus, complete with totally impossible physics. I’m so proud they understand the limits of AI 🙂


  • There is this silly game my wife and I play, we take a sentence and put air quotes around a random word – the goal being to change the meaning and make it much funnier.

    This request for feedback does the same thing, making me question whether they “actually” want my input 😂


  • Back Flip Physics

    A friend of mine bet that if I did a back flip with a cup of water, the centrifugal force would keep the water in. You be the judge 👇


  • Composted

    I spotted this sign in Seattle and appreciated the dark humor (and perhaps the subtle threat).


  • We went to a Kangaroo farm recently as a family, and they love to recline in an oddly human-like manner that is a mix of seductive/chill. It’s hilarious to see them lying around like “Hey there, what’s going on. Come over and say hi” 🤣


  • How I work

    This was my son doing an imitation of how I work. I can’t vouch for how accurate it is.


  • Jumping over Things

    One of my hobbies is jumping over things … ideally filmed in slow motion. Thanks to my son for being the daring extra.

    As I get older, I need to really think before doing things like this though, as my air time is getting lower and my recovery time is much longer.
