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.…
Arbitrary Numerical Signifier

Ten years. Still the best decision I ever made.
Official Portrait Blogging 050212
Posted by Chad Orzel on May 2, 2012 I’ve gotten really bad about posting pictures of the kids, but we got the official school picture proofs today, featuring a smiling SteelyKid and an insouciant Pip: Both pictures pretty accurately reflect them at this stage, which is kind of nice. SteelyKid’s kind of camera-averse at the moment, and it apparently took some doing to…
Easter 2012
Posted by Chad Orzel on April 8, 2012 Today is Easter Sunday, which we celebrated in the manner of my people, by chasing soap bubbles around the backyard: OK, that’s not an actual tradition, but it was a beautiful day today, and SteelyKid got a big bottle of bubble stuff from her great-grandmother, so it seemed like the right thing to do. So…
Story by SteelyKid
Posted by Chad Orzel on March 16, 2012 While I was editing and posting the pictures for last night’s family blogging, SteelyKid came in and said “Daddy, we watched [indistinct name] today, and they created their own story on the show. But I don’t know how to do that.” “Sure you do, honey,” I said. “You create stories all the time. You were…
Thursday Family Blogging 031512
Posted by Chad Orzel on March 15, 2012 Yesterday was “Pi Day” (3-14, in the American style of writing dates), and while I personally find it kind of silly, The Pip took it to heart, using it as the occasion for his first rotation of π radians about his long axis. That is, he rolled from his back onto his stomach. Which is…
Friday Baby Blogging
Posted by Chad Orzel on March 9, 2012 I had planned to catch up on blogging a bunch of things this afternoon, but I decided I needed a nap more than I needed to pump up the blog traffic. So, here’s a cute-baby picture to make up for it: This is The Pip, trying to figure out what’s up with the little dude…
Modern Parenting: A Snapshot
Posted by Chad Orzel on March 1, 2012 I’m driving down back roads through Niskayuna and Colonie, making a big pointless circle. Because we had a slightly rough morning, and I don’t want to wake up The Pip, who fell asleep in his car seat on the way home from lunch: And every time we come to a stop sign or red light,…
Bonsoir, Baboon
Posted by Chad Orzel on February 16, 2012 One of SteelyKid’s favorite bedtimes reads is Good Night, Gorilla, which is very short and mostly pictures. We’ve read it about a million times, so to mix things up (and further my goal of convincing her that I’m a blithering idiot), I’ll give it different titles when I hold it up before reading it. She…
Syncretic Pre-Schooler Blogging
Posted by Chad Orzel on February 12, 2012 We send SteelyKid to preschool at the Jewish Community Center in Schenectady, because when we looked at day care programs back in the day, they had the one we liked best. This is a mixed blessing in a number of ways– they close for a lot of religious holidays when nothing else closes, creating some…
