I have yet to begin podcasting but both myself and my wife have been talking about the idea.
So I was thankful for the information by Jason Snell from Six Colors encouraging new podcasters and giving…
When Faith's cousins came over to visit it seemed the perfect opportunity to pull out the big sheet of paper and the finger paints. In the middle of the table was all of the different colours: red, pi…
Visiting friends with a big yard was Faith's opportunity to get out and play. After seeing a dandelion falling apart after blowing on it, she tries blowing on all of the flowers that she finds. Unfort…
With some friends in tow we all went for an adventure along the Beagle Channel out from Ushuaia in the big catamaran from Canoero. It was an amazing trip past islands filled with birds and seals and t…
Today was that time of year again, where my very special wife decided to give me a wonderful surprise lunch. This was not just any lunch however, as it included lots of friends and BBQ lamb on a stake…
It does not take little children long to understand the virtual world of computing. Faith already has her favourite games on the iPad now. It is fascinating watching her face as she interacts with her…

Richard Goodhead is a tall, unassuming man with a confident strut. When I met him in the airport he walked straight past with determination in his face. This determination is something he will need…
Ushuaia City
This Bible was printed to be distributed in Ushuaia. They managed to distribute half of the Bibles that they had. There were thousands. The rest of the Bibles can not be distributed. They break a ve…
Every time we go shopping, Faith gets to ride shotgun on the trolley. Asleep or awake, she loves it. The movement helps her sleep, and the colours and patterns of everything around her helps keep her…
