David building his first circuit boards. Awesome! Originally uploaded by Ernesto and Kristen Burden A quiet Saturday afternoon — just right for some geeky (and I mean that with the happiest sentiment!) father and son circuit boarding fun!

One of the best parts about in-town living is the great neighbors we have. And though we all get along and really like each other, we don't see them all that often. Busy lives, different schedules. But almost every time there's a good snow, you're sure to find neighbors from two or three of the [...]

‘Bela demonstrating some wicked chops on the piano. There are all kinds of “toddler playing the piano” videos that show up as related videos to this one I just posted of our littlest one jamming after dinner tonight. The difference? She takes a bit more of a outsider art, punk rock, Hendrix closing Monterey approach… [...]
Help Im flod. I know how this creation of Sofia's (as captioned by David at her request) feels… I am too. Help! Then again, who isn't? On a different note, I love that David has taken to writing captions to express his creatures' (and sometimes Sofia's creatures as well!) thoughts. They are both storytellers in [...]
David was too fascinated by old school analog action on the pinball table to notice the racy graphic design by Paul Faris on the backglass and playfield of Rick's vintage Data East Phantom of the Opera pinball game (one of only 2,750 units made, patented Solid-State flippers!)… Though this makes me wonder, could something made in 1990 [...]

"The typical American family is also the most networked, according to a new report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project." Married-with-children households are more likely than others to have cell phones, computers, and a broadband connection. Rather than [...]
Best foliage in years Originally uploaded by Ernesto and Kristen Burden Dropping David off at school and was reminded of the amazing foliage this year; sadly overshadowed by the tumult of these times.
We used to visit Beech Hill Farm in Hopkinton all the time when we lived in Concord (David was little then, and Sofia just a baby!). Now we still try and get up there once or twice a year. It's a great vibe for a fall, day especially because even though it's always busy [...]
