It’s so funny seeing how my kids keep wanting to learn more and more. My kids have really gotten into internet flash games. They love trying their hands at all of the games and are anxious to show off their game prowness to daddy.

I love watching them play. They are far from perfect when they play the games, but they are always trying and never giving up. They’ll just keep trying until they find the way that works. This is very encouraging for me since it’s a value that I want to instill in them.

I used to be anti Video games until I started seeing how they can use them to learn. I still try to limit how much they play and the types of games they play, but I also know there is some good in them.

My Taped Up Mobile

I have got an old nokia phone that I use on a regular basis. Lately, the housing has become loose and even though I picked up a new housing, it still falls off. It’s an old phone and these kind of things are to be expected with them.

I decided to tape up the cell phone in order to keep the casing attached. The tape works, but my wife saw it and commented that people will think I am poor when I use it. I told her, no problem. People won’t steal the phone and who cares it they think I’m poor.

My taped up cellphone is working great for me and I don’t think I will be replacing it anytime soon. I guess I am too much of a cheapskate.
