http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2013/05/22/hacker-scout-badges-at-maker-faire/   And if your kid would love to earn irl badges, diy.org plans to offer real ones soon (for a fee). But if you want to make that possible for...

Hacker Scouts (bigger kids) and Maker Scouts (littler) are both centrally organized in Oakland, although I'm glad to hear there's a presence in Atlanta. They're both affiliated with diy.org/Maker magazine. And there are a lot of...

Hi -- I just came here to see if anyone knew of sources (a list?) of shoes without the antimicrobial treatment. Yes, it is supposed to be harmful, and I'd like to avoid using it. I'm in the same boat as HRJ, with a kid who's done great...

The nice thing is when both you & your friend are so confident in your choices, or so supportive of each other, that it doesn't much matter -- and so it doesn't degenerate into a whole judgy nastiness that kills the friendship....

I did wind up going with t-shirts/thermal underwear pants, but I wanted to share that I just found Oshkosh PJs up through size 10 for $15/set. I'm afraid to buy that size (he wears that now, and I have to buy them a size up) but I...

No worries. MDC is so baby-centric, it makes an 8-yo very old/big in comparison. I would be thrilled if Carter's still worked him, but no sizes this big. Actually, my (totally average-sized) 8-yo doesn't wear a size 12 generally, but I...

http://www.blueturtlekids.com/category.jhtm?cid=1015    I found this place (above) online that offers *some* PJs in the bigger sizes (size 14 seems to be the max). Not all of them are offered in the larger sizes, and not...

Hey - Just wanted to mention that I did go with the Gaiam and we've been really happy with it. Good tension in the lines, reasonably easy install, stays upright even with wet wash on it, quite stable.
