029/366: 2-D Collision Physics

The JCC day care was closed again today, so I spent the day out and about with The Pip while SteelyKid was at school. While I did take the DSLR along, none of the pictures I got were all that great, so you get a cell-phone snapshot that's mostly interesting because of the subject matter:

The Pip playing air hockey. The Pip playing air hockey.

One of the two stops on our big outing of the day was the bouncy-bounce place in a local mall, which also has a bunch of awful game machines. And a kid-height air hockey table, which The Pip and I made heavy use of for a while. It's all physics, after all...

Day care re-opens tomorrow, and as much as I love spending time with my Little Dude, I will be very, very happy to drop him off in the morning and get back to my normal routine...

Getting caught up to today, a bunch of pictures from the past week (250/366 was the photo of Emmy's memorial shrub): 251/366: Wagons Ho! SteelyKid and The Pip taking turns pulling each other in their wagon. Last weekend we had gorgeous spring weather, so the kids were playing outside a bunch.…
Thursday was a travel day, the less said about which the better. So, while I do have a couple of cell-phone snaps from the day, I'm just going to ignore it, and give you two better photos from Friday and Saturday. These go nicely together, as you can see in the composite that's the "featured image…
Today is SteelyKid's seventh birthday, which she's been counting down to for a good while. It's a little hard to believe it's seven years since she was substantially smaller than her stuffed Appa toy. She's become quite a handful in that time, with boundless energy apparently derived from…
It's been over a month since I did a photo-a-day post, largely because I haven't been taking many pictures for a variety of reasons. I do still mean to get a year's worth of good photos done, but the "daily" part has completely disintegrated at this point. As a way of getting somewhat back on…

Ah, the air-puck table: 8.01 physics lab at MIT ca. 1963
