NASA scientists (among others, I’d imagine) continue searching for planets and planetary systems in our galaxy and nearby galaxies with all the tools currently available to us, and they continue to discover those greatly sought after objects. And now apparently have found the first planet that is thought to be in the so-called “Goldilocks Zone”….

The Perfect Temperature
Several things are broken on our trusty family minivan. Some more important than others (like our gas gauge) and some we can do without (our rear windshield wiper, and air conditioning) and then tons of little things, mostly electrical. Including the temperature gauge in the little computer/data center. At times, it will tell us that…
God Of Wonders (DVD)
We are fans of God’s creations here. There is no end to the amazing complexity and brilliant design all around you. The boys and I have been reading many books about our solar system (and the universe beyond) and the kids and Jen just joined a science club where they were learning about the incredible…
Good (Competitive) Family Fun!
For the last two, or maybe three years we Campbells have been having some more interactive fun with the weekly NFL games. Not only do we enjoy watching as much of them as we can on weekends, we also try to predict the outcome of each, and we have quite the “set up” to track…
Book Sales Are Dangerous
Our library has a book sale annually where they weed out their own collection as well as receive hundreds of donations from generous library users and other friends of the library. It goes on for quite a while after the official sale portion. The starting price is $1.00 for a hardcover book and $0.50 for…

It’s called Library Books App. It allows you to track all of the books you…
An Open Letter to One Bills Drive
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to you today on behalf of Bills fans everywhere. I feel both compelled and qualified to speak as a representative of this great collection of people scattered across the globe. First I am compelled by great frustration with what has now seemingly become the tradition of losing…
The Buffalo Bills’ Strategy
I am a big Buffalo Bills fan. Yes, believe it or not, there are still some of us out here. Though I may be ridiculed, though I may see little reward for my undying loyalty and eternal optimism, yet to do persist. Many have puzzled over the operational decisions of our team in the past…
Book Review: The Age of the Unthinkable
I just finished the book I began earlier this summer, The Age Of The Unthinkable. As I had mentioned earlier, the book presents a very intriguing look at the world as it currently is, partly due to the great amount of first-hand knowledge and experience that its author, Joshua Cooper Ramo, has with today’s world…
What I’m Reading (and Watching)
[FLOWPLAYER=/video/ReadingWatching.mp4,590,395] I have been reading a lot lately. As much as time allows. Before, after, and in between managing all of my website clients as well as six children and time with Jen… plus friends and family… it doesn’t seem to add up to much! But today, when I updated the list of what I’m…
