Free Meteor Shower Tonight
I read about this in today’s Kansas City Star and thought I’d spread the word. Tonight, August 12, 2010, there will be a meteor shower as “the Earth hurtles through the trail left by an ancient comet.” Evidently, the conditions are such that the meteors should be easier to see than they’ve been in previous […]

Free Yo-Yo Performance and Workshop
I used to try to yo-yo. I always got the string all tangled up. I’m sure it was because I was using a cheap yo-yo. Now that I can spring for a better one, maybe I could become a yo-yo-master. If you’re interested in the art of yo-yoing (I’m sure that can’t be a word) […]
