Childhood Dreams 2: Become a Jedi

In my last post - Childhood Dreams - I discussed an overview of my Childhood Dreams, and why I thought it was important to consider them. I ended up with some interesting comments from my cousin who, like me, shared the dream of becoming a parent. I would say we're both successful in that regard (she has 4 children of her own)!

Childhood Dreams

I recently watched - well, listened to at work (it's over an hour long) the seminar/lecture Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams. In many ways, the reason that this website exists in its current format is a direct result of watching this lecture.

Does using screens (TV, computers) after kids go to bed on "Turn off Screens Week" make you an evil parent?

We have recently installed a content management system so that Kate and I can actually keep this site up to date. More to come soon :)
