From the My Home 2.0 family to yours, have a safe, happy, and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday!

Some of you out there know that I jump at the opportunity to speak to a crowd about not only my work with My Home 2.0 but also other projects I've worked on. Yesterday, I was invited to speak at my old school Paul Revere Middle School. I had the chance to connect with old teachers, and meet new ones. My mother is a teacher there, and I was actually a student of hers when I attended. I joked with the students about failing her class, and that got a few laughs.  I started out talking about My Home 2.0 which captures the student's attention, and once I have their attention, I present the math and science part of the presentation.

Middle School students are a blast to work with, and I've found them to be the most energertic amongst grade school students. Founder of the blog Thinking Foward Joe Bruzzese befriended me on Twitter, and shared with me some info on working with Middle School Students. Read on...

Gamers Unite!

Guten Tag!

Before I go any further, I want to appologize to the few folks out there that were looking forward to my Ustream last week. My Bad.

I had to postpone the Ustream because my buddy Johnathan hit me up on G-chat Friday morning with some good news. He informed me that the Video Game Expo was in town and that we HAD to go and check it out. Without hesitation I obliged, and we spent the afternoon checking out some new games and powning n00bs! (Thats gamer talk: for winning in a game) We documented our visit in video form. Check it out!

So you're busy with your last-minute Thanksgiving preparations and you're packing up the car and you just have no time to run out and buy travel games to keep the family entertained during your holiday road trip this weekend? No problem! I've got some tips for you to play games together as you head towards your turkey destination, if you're keen of eye and brave of heart...

Ahh, Thanksgiving.  Its promise of turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, family togetherness, and lots and lots of driving.  Not all of us can be as lucky as the Wurtzes and have 81 cousins in town to share holidays with! We have about 12 hours to go to visit our family this weekend, and sometimes for the kids, that's about 11 hours too many.  What's a mom to do?  Sure, we have a TV in the car (insert a grumble about how when I was a kid, the grazing cows on the side of the road were entertainment enough!), but my kids can only watch so many movies before they (and I) get antsy.  What's a family on the road to do for long haul entertainment?  How about road games?...

A few days back Guru Brian shared with us his car of the future. His design is built "Green" as it emits no pollutants into the atmosphere. He and I share this dream of a greener future, where we are less dependant on dwendling natural resources.

I to have a plan for the car of the future. It all started 3 years ago when I was working at Motorola. My commute to work everyday was about an

hour. At the time the main Highway was under construction and my detour route frequently changed due to traffic. This daily headache led to the creation of the Cartroller Project.

No show is ever truly put on by one person, and this was never more the case in Ft. Wayne where we had the support of these excellent folks.  Without them we couldn't have done it, so we would like to take a moment to tip our hats, incline our heads, and offer up our most sincere thanks for all their help...

As Thanksgiving approaches, it's only appropriate that we give a little thanks of our own to some of the great companies in Ft. Wayne and beyond who helped us put together the Royer show. So without further ado, we would like to thank...

In this troubled economy with the Automotive Industry failing, One car Company stands alone ready to buck the tide and flip it's nose up at the face of adversity, I'm talking about none other then the HMH (Heavy Metal Handyman) Car Company.

 

HMH is poised to release the Fully and Completely absolute 0 Emission car on the planet!! We call it the ZAHARKO 11 or the Z11 for short.

The weather doesn't often turn cold here in my part of the world, but when the mercury drops below 60 degrees, my family and I bundle up against the chill and start looking for warm things to do.  As I spent a quiet afternoon last weekend teaching my two young daughters how to knit, I reflected that we really were blessed in these uncertain times and began looking around to see if there were ways to put those precious commodities - the ability to knit and the time to do it - to work for others who are not as lucky.  Wouldn't you know it, there are a ton of charities that will accept hand-made goods, be they knit, crocheted, quilted, or sewn...
