I, Robot

I think I found a summer project for Rob and Alex: We're going to build a robot. And not just any robot, but Wall-E. Of course, this is from a guy who has trouble changing a tire, so we'll see how it goes. It sounds cool. Check out Geekdad.com for more.

Cool stuff for Dads

This story on hydroponic gardens looks cool, and it seems like a great project to do with the kids. I like the idea of growing something inside - we can start it up now - and we don't take up space in the garden this summer. I'm ready to try growing some alfalfa sprouts.

Projects that work for both

Here's a great link to a story about a project Rob would love to do. As for Old Wahoo, I'm not sure if I have the patience, skill and technical accumen to accomplish (heck, even try) something like this. That said, this article makes a great point about father-son projects: finding a task that both the parent and the child enjoy.
