Pole to Pole to Pole
Not only is the North Pole really a magnetic south pole, but it’s also not aligned with the geographical North Pole.
Creating Holograms
With the holiday season upon us, many of us have our children sitting at home getting bored. Well, in my house, when the kids say they’re bored, out comes the science experiments. Over the years, I’ve managed to accumulate a variety of different experiments that you can do using common household items. I thought that it would be fun to get my children to help me share them with you, so you can share them with your children. To my surprise, the station owners of KLRNRadio were happy to support the idea and have given me their full backing. So here we go…
The North Pole is in Antarctica…

For the sake of the radio show, I’m posting the related post anyway and I’ll worry about possible broken links later. So here it is: With the upcoming release of Rogue One, the latest movie in the Star Wars franchise, I couldn’t resist doing a show about the weapons in Star Wars. I had written a post about this before for Dan Koboldt’s Science in Science Fiction series, but it’s just not the same as hearing about it. Weapons of […]
Ghostwriting: I won’t do it…
Recently, I was approached by someone to become a ghostwriter for their adult thriller novel. Mixed emotions ran through my system. The initial inquiry was heartfelt with a story of a friend who had recently passed away, resulting in the writer struggling to get her mojo back. I did sympathize, but the fundamental tenants behind ghostwriting to me are just wrong.
