Cute Kid Update
Posted by Chad Orzel on January 27, 2013 
It’s been a good while since I did any Cute Kid Blogging, due to excessive busy-ness. There’s big news among the younger residents of Chateau Steelypips, though: SteelyKid lost one of her front teeth the other day: That gap? Wasn’t there on Friday morning. Lest you think we’re horrible people who let her run headfirst…
2012 Was Just This Year, You Know?
Posted by Chad Orzel on December 31, 2012 
The Pip’s ringing in the New Year… Well, OK, he’s actually asleep upstairs. Because when you have a one-year-old and a four-year-old, you don’t really get out to a lot of parties on New Year’s Eve. Anyway, to be honest, I won’t be all that sorry to see 2012′s taillights fade to black. There were…
On the Checking of Boxes, and the Need to Chill Out
Posted by Chad Orzel on November 29, 2012 In the comments to yesterday’s post about college admissions, Joseph Yoon quoted my statement that “I’m somewhat sympathetic to claims that Asians have a difficult position in higher education,” and shot back with: I wonder if you will feel more strongly about this in 10 years when your kids are near college. Will you advise…
How to Teach Relativity to Your Four-Year Old
Posted by Chad Orzel on September 27, 2012 
SCENE: The library at Chateau Steelypips. DADDY is typing on the computer, while THE PIP plays on the floor. Enter STEELYKID. STEELYKID: I’m already four years old. DADDY: Yes, yes you are. THE PIP: Thbbbbbbbpppt! STEELYKID: How old is The Pip? DADDY: Eleven months. Not quite one year. STEELYKID: When The Pip is four, how…
Science with SteelyKid
Posted by Chad Orzel on September 18, 2012 
There are a bunch of physics stories that I’d sort of like to write about, but don’t have time for, and politics is oscillating between “darkly hilarious” and “indescribably depressing,” so that’s best left alone. So, here’s some cute kid pictures instead. SteelyKid has lately taken to telling all and sundry “This is my daddy.…
What I Did On My Summer Vacation
Posted by Chad Orzel on September 4, 2012 
So, a couple of months ago, I said I was taking some time off from the blog, and wasn’t sure I would make it back. What was up with that, anyway? Well, for one thing, I had a bunch of stuff to work on, and needed the extra time. I wrote a proposal for a…
Does This Thing Still Work?
Posted by Chad Orzel on September 1, 2012 
I might return to physics blogging at some point, but I know what people really want from this blog. So, here’s a cute kid picture. The Pip is increasingly mobile, and here we see him trying to climb into my lap, with an assist from big sister SteelyKid. Giving them superhero-ish noms du Net may…
Weekend Family Blogging
Posted by Chad Orzel on June 23, 2012 
I had hoped to get the next Ten Years Before the Blog post queued up for today, but what with one thing and another, that didn’t happen. It probably won’t happen before Monday, either, as the weekend will be full of family-type activities– taking SteelyKid to soccer this morning, and her summer camp orientation tomorrow,…

Posted by Chad Orzel on June 3, 2012 In which we look at the very latest in amphibian science. ———— The embedded video shows one Prof. S. Kid describing her latest observations in detail. It’s a very comprehensive study.
Kickin’ Back (With Chicken)
Posted by Chad Orzel on May 21, 2012 
Because I need to test out some features of the new WordPress system, including the image handling, here’s a place-holder post with a bonus SteelyKid photo: This is SteelyKid kicking back at Niska-Day over the weekend (the annual community fair here in Niskayuna). Don’t be deceived by the lazy look of this image– she was…
