Yes, both you and your wife are real lucky to have such adorable kids; just by looking at their smiles makes me smile too!
Hey, my gal wears such smile too, her school's principal always tells the other pupils to keep smiling like her, haha!
Anyway, if richard jr. is the replica of his dad, then I guess you're quite adorable too, hehehe!

lawschooldoll: It's pretty basic biology. Although, I did screen out those pictures where one or the other was looking dopey.

LFY: kids are a wonderful blessing. They are also extremely tiring and demanding (as you no doubt know). The interesting thing is that going from 1 kid to 2 is not a simple doubling of work and effort - it is really more like going from 1 kid to 10.

Smiles always make people more attractive and approachable.

Dad is much older than JJ, overweight and tired looking these days. My avatar is me when I was 10, and you can find a more recent picture of me here and 10 year old one here.

bee: hugging them gives me the most contentment I can get in life.

[19September-2007 @ 17:11 EST: Revised preamble. This page still gets the most search hits: There is no Anthony de Croud. The e-mail is SPAM. I post things that pique my fancy at the moment. I like the 8 precepts, but the rest of the e-mail is junk. However, I thought it fair to post everything in its entirety. I did not write the e-mail. I did not forward the e-mail.

Not quite Jacques Cousteau

I had bought some frozen calamari (squid) a while back and decided that it was time I actually did something with them. I thawed them out and cleaned them. I have never done this before and I am sure I was horribly slow and inefficient (it took me an hour to clean 2 pounds – 907g – worth). You begin by grasping the body and pulling out the head and guts. Then you squeeze out the guck inside and then peel off the skin (or film) on the surface. As a bonus, most of the skin comes off when you squeeze out the gunk. Finally you need to remove the spine. This was news to me, I thought that squid did not have any hard structure (aside from the beaky mouth). It is an interesting piece, when removed, it looks exactly like a piece of transparent plastic. Still haven’t decided what to make with it, but I will cook it tonight. Photo credits: Richard of Forbidden Planet [Note: today, blogger forced me to change over to the new blogger.

Evolution of a peeve

I am often peeved at the way evolution is presented and explained. It is bad enough when lay people get it wrong, but it is intolerable when science commentators and scientists explain it sloppily. First things first, the term evolution comes from the Latin evolutio meaning unrolling. In modern English vernacular is has the generally understood meaning of a progressive change in a particular direction - the general direction being understood as being better or more advanced from the previous form. This is a horrible term to use for the process Darwin described because it comes with preconceptions that are simply untrue - namely that of a progressive change in a particular direction for good (as opposed to its antonym, devolution). It also does not help that so many science commentators (all I would say) and scientists (most, I would say) continue to perpetuate this inaccuracy. The say things like, "Plants evolved colourful flowers to attract insects," or "Organisms evo...
