Aloha Friday: Revealing Your Blog To Family

May 7, 2010 TechyDad Aloha Friday, Blogging, Family

JSL’s third birthday is coming up. Family will be gathered and celebrating will be done. So why am I nervous? Well, we’ve never told my family that we blog. This isn’t to say that we’ve been actively keeping our blogging activities from family. It’s just that our blog lives and real lives were separate for the longest time. However, recently, B decided to “come out of her bloggy shell.” As such, our real lives are seeping into our blog lives and vice versa.

Meanwhile, NHL is 6 years old. As we all know, six year olds don’t exactly have the greatest track record for secrets. Add in an up and coming secret-revealer (aka JSL) and it’s only a matter of time before one of them blabs.

My Aloha Friday question for this week is: Is it time to reveal our blogging activities to our family? Should we control this reveal rather than it come as a surprise uttered by a child? If you’ve revealed your blog to family before, how did you do it?

Aloha Friday: Sheer Exhaustion

April 30, 2010 TechyDad Aloha Friday, Life

I had a whole different Aloha Friday post in mind, but I had stayed awake too late for too many days. After the kids were in bed, I laid down on the couch and before I knew it it was 2:30am! I was just way too exhausted from the week. My body had just given all it could give. My other Aloha Friday post idea will need to wait until next week.

My Aloha Friday question for this week is: How often do you reach the point of sheer exhaustion?

Aloha Friday: Roast It

April 23, 2010 TechyDad Aloha Friday, Cooking

Yesterday, I wrote about roasting sweet potatoes, zucchini, yellow squash and red peppers. As the day progressed, I began to think about going through the grocery store to buy different vegetables to roast. I also began thinking about roasting fruit.

My Aloha Friday question for this week is: Have you ever oven roasted fruits or vegetables? If so, what fruits or veggies have you roasted?

Aloha Friday: Tracing Your Family’s History

April 15, 2010 TechyDad Aloha Friday, Family, Genealogy

Yesterday, I wrote about my budding interest in genealogy. I’ve begun the process of tracing both my and B’s family trees. One of my mother’s family members traced their ancestry awhile back. (I plan on incorporating this into my tree.) He uncovered quite a few interesting stories including an ancestor of mine who had a ticket to go on the Titanic. Fortunately, he missed the boat (though I’m sure it didn’t seem like a good thing when it happened).

My Aloha Friday question for this week is: Have you traced your family tree? If so, have you come upon any interesting stories about your ancestors?

Aloha Friday: Photo Preservation

April 9, 2010 TechyDad Aloha Friday, Family, Photos

In my post yesterday (Keeping History Alive, Part 1: Family Photos), I described how I scanned my grandmother’s photos to preserve them and share them with all of my family members.

My Aloha Friday question for this week is: What have you done to preserve your old family photos? Have you scanned them? Have you cataloged who is in them?
