As part of my doctoral funding, I work for the International Children’s Library. I’ve been doing a lot of community building by answering the very interesting e-mails we get as well as answering and contributing to the forum.
This week, I posted a How-to on making a scary mask. It is a tie-in with the New Zealand book Sydney and the Sea Monster by David Elliot. It’s a fun book…you should check it out.
I know I don’t update this blog often and I know that I don’t write about food ever…but holy cow, did I go to a good fast food restaurant today. While we were headed for Target in Middle River today, we went looking for a place to eat lunch. We stumbled onto Original Fish & Chips.
It was really good. I had a combo of fish, chicken and chips (it included hush puppies, too)…Ann had the chicken. We both liked it and, although not nutritious per se(trans fat free), we like supporting local businesses.
If you go to the website, you can check out the history.

The episode in Port Deposit Maryland aired last night. My co-workers and I went up and helped on Day 4. I was on the team that built the plane. This is a link to the project. BTW, the thumbtacks as rivets…that was my idea. So was moving the flight sim gear down. The designer wanted the screens to be up by the windshield but I told him it was too cramped and the kid would get eye strain.

While I was ego surfing checking for links to my site, I found this lovely review:
1 green download
In our tests, we found downloads on this site were free of adware, spyware, and other unwanted programs.
I scored a 0 out of 10 on the nuisance meter…I think that’s good. They were referring to my sailing terms flash cards.
Where’s the Vincent action figure? Can I buy Dharma accessories for them?
It’s an inner tube that flies when pulled from behind a boat. Oh my God I want one!
This is what I JUST got in the ol email:
Your journey does not end here. You have also qualified to compete for the grand prize which includes trips for four to New York, Paris, Rome and London, a colossal Sony® Electronics package and more valued at over $100,000! See official rules.
Beginning on or around 1pm EDT May 19th at www.google.com/davincicode, the final challenge, which is a time trial, will be made available to you for 48 hours. You can begin whenever you like, but prepare well, for once you begin there is no turning back. The player who completes all five tasks in the shortest amount of time will be declared the winner.
As for your previous accomplishments, your skill and perseverance will be rewarded with a limited edition replica cryptex arriving in your mailbox in the coming days.
Of course, I can’t afford to actually win because the taxes would be like $50k…but it was still fun.
From Reversal on DNA saves case in the Baltimore Sun:
Yesterday, Watts narrowed her previous ruling: DNA evidence analyzed by the Baltimore crime lab is still prohibited, while DNA evidence analyzed by an independent lab can be presented.
Yes that independent lab work was done by none other than Mark D, super crime fighter.
I don’t follow sports much but I’m a sucker for a good inspirational story. This is a GREAT story about a kid with autism who turned out to be a not-so-bad athlete.
