Cool — New Hampshire Fish and Game is offering a good selection of videos on their site. So if, like me, you have far less time on the water than you wish you did, here's a chance for some educational, vicarious video-casts. Looks like they're a little little on the fly-fishing/trout content, though…hopefully that's coming [...]

Jeffrey Kluger has an interesting piece on birth order in Time.  The article presents a combination of research, anecdote and widely held assumptions on birth order — oldest is smartest, youngest is funniest, middle child is a mystery, etc.  I found, as a I read, being from a family of four and being the father [...]

The Telegraph's editorial page editor, Nick Pappas, has a column this week on what's an editorial board.  I'm a member of The Telegraph's editorial board, and so I pass along a link to this — which also gives me a chance to mention the last item in Nick's column: the presidential primary candidates interviews.  One [...]

I don't know anymore what this particular page ought to do.  But I know having it be a linkdump for my del.icio.us links is just ugly.  So I've sent all my del.icio.us links to my Facebook page, instead.  Along with my Twitter posts.  Which now, of course, are fed by Twitterfeed directly from my Facebook [...]

The David Allen book inspired me and I bought the label maker.  Love it.  Kris writes about it here – a spouse's perspective on my new madness. Here's the best thing, though: the label maker cost $40 at Staples — with a $20 at-the-counter-rebate and a $20 mail-in/submit-online rebate.  So it was free.  Yeah, I know, [...]

I'm on a mini vacation this week — used a few vacation days after the Fourth Holiday to make a long, long weekend.  And since I've been on vacation, I've been reading and applying this book by David Allen called Getting Things Done.  And man, I've been getting things done.  I'm slicing the labyrinthine alleys [...]

This hail was unbelievable.  It came on fast and practically out of a clear blue sky.  Not sure, but it might have been the most dramatic I've seen.  The kids were blown away.  I actually went out and checked the cars for dents afterward.  (There weren't any, thank heaven.)

Here's a quick roundup since I haven't had time to write here in a while. Micro Blogs Thanks to other "micro" blogging efforts, however, the page hasn't been empty.  Between the Twitter  feed and the autoposting of my daily de.icio.us bookmarks, there's been something, anyhow.  Odd — when blogging began that felt "short form."  But [...]

Well, we've blogged, we've done online video, and now here's the first Burden family podcast. The audio's good in spots, not so great in others – I was only playing around with the software and not really intending on doing a whole-family bit, so I only had one mic hooked up and had to compress [...]

After wrestling with a bunch of issues on this site (many self-caused), I'm back. New Lifetype install (the latest release version didn't work with my old pLog custom coded design – rats! – and I had to rework a bunch of the calls during Boston Legal tonight…), fresh database, and two years of posts and [...]
