Another day with a staged-for-talk-prep photo: I needed a picture of social-media apps on computer screens for an upcoming talk, so I took one. After first tweeting a cute-kid photo: Cute-kid photo because I want to take a picture of Twitter to use in a talk. pic.twitter.com/QIYHTda0vL — Chad Orzel (@orzelc) November 12, 2015 Yeah,… Continue reading 073/366: Doubly Social

072/366: What ISO Means to Me
It’s a grey, dismal, rainy day here at Chateau Steelypips, and I’m a little groggy from cold medication. Which means it’s not a great writing day, but it is a good day to stay inside and do a little SCIENCE! for the photo of the day. thus, this: This is a small assortment of toys… Continue reading 072/366: What ISO Means to Me
071/366: Levee of Leaves
Spent all day yesterday with SteelyKid, who, while she was officially medically diagnosed as suffering from strep throat, was not in any conventional sense “sick.” We built Lego sets, watched tv, went shopping, played with an RC helicopter, tried and failed to make a physics video, and generally wore me out. so you get another… Continue reading 071/366: Levee of Leaves
070/366: Scientists for Scale
Another delayed photo-of-the-day, because SteelyKid was sent home with strep throat yesterday. She complained that her throat hurt any time we asked her to eat anything other than ice cream, but other than that was basically unaffected. Which is sort of the most irritating sick-kid scenario possible, because if she were actually sick and listless,… Continue reading 070/366: Scientists for Scale
069/366: Ain’t No Party Like a Little Dude Party…
The day was dominated by the previously mentioned birthday party for The Pip, so it only makes sense to have the photo of the day be an action shot from said party: This is from the games portion of the party, which included shaking a parachute loaded up with plastic balls so they flew all… Continue reading 069/366: Ain’t No Party Like a Little Dude Party…
068/366: Happy Pip Day
Four years ago today, The Pip was born. That’s hard to believe, in both directions at different times. There are days when it seems like just yesterday that he was a tiny helpless thing, and other days when he seems to have been a hyper Little Dude for aeons. I took a bunch of pictures… Continue reading 068/366: Happy Pip Day
067/366: Toast
I spent most of Friday in a bit of a fog, thanks to a cold bug I picked up from The Pip. As a result, the only thing I took photos of yesterday was this: This wasn’t some weird pseudoephedrine-fueled delusion– I actually had a professional need for a photo of bread in a toaster… Continue reading 067/366: Toast
066/366: Sky Full of Fire
I love a lot of things about our neighborhood, which is all pleasant tree-lined streets and stuff, but it’s not a great place for taking pictures of sunset– I pretty much need to get in the car to get to a place with a clear view of the western horizon. This knocks out a big… Continue reading 066/366: Sky Full of Fire
065/366: Owie, Owie, Owie
SteelyKid’s Elite Team taekwondo practice on Tuesday night was a “game night” because they had a belt test last week. The kids opted to play capture-the-flag against the parents, which ended up a tie (the adults won the first two games, the kids the second two), but the adult victories came at a price: This… Continue reading 065/366: Owie, Owie, Owie
064/366: Evil Sunrise
Another delayed photo-of-the-day, another photobombing: I think this pretty much speaks for itself: I was getting a photo of the colorful sunrise, and an evil squirrel ran across the power line. Which was a clear and obvious photo of the day.
