I love this (found on etsy.com):
A vintage poster commissioned by the British Government in August 1939 to be posted in times of “crisis or invasion”. There were three posters of similar design created for public confidence and this one was never posted.
Other colors (or should that be colours?) available.
For those of you wondering what’s up with the lack of activity on both Mark and my blogs, here’s a little update. First, it seems like we’ve both switched to posting the tidbits of our activities on Facebook. Mark has also been busy with some writing projects, so he hasn’t been writing for his blog. [...]
Today (July 21st) is Mark’s 50th Birthday!
Join me in wishing Mark a special day.
I’ve received several forwarded emails this week that either promise a “too good to be true” opportunity or reveal some horrendous scam that must be countered. These emails must be forwarded to either garner the benefit or warn friends and family of impending calamity.
Take a deep breath.
Before you empty your address book into the “Forward [...]
These quotes from Robert Frost seemed appropriate to the end of the semester:
“Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.”
“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”
Our daughter, Sarah, and her husband, John, keep us feeling a part of the family with an online family webpage featuring (almost) daily pictures and snippets of life in the Free household. Here’s the current story…
(from Sarah) Maggie and I were talking one morning as she was eating breakfast. I had recently heard from Ethan’s [...]
This is just too cool…
Math Songs: The Sonifications and Videos
Listen to some of the most famous mathematical equations. Yes, listen. And be amazed.
Creation is truly multi-disciplinary.

The Tolkien Estate has had a website “under construction” for a bit now. But with the release of The Children of Húrin there are new things to see! The best is the Flash intro that cleverly highlights some of Tolkien’s own artwork.
Explore around the site and you’ll see more of his work in the borders [...]

And when you get tired of that, click on the little link at the bottom right that says “Feed the HEAD.”
Keep figuring out what you can get the head to do.

On a day like today, all the rivalries between UVa (I’m an alum and still work with the Physics department) and VT melt away. Our daughter, her husband, and many, many of their friends graduated from VT. Mark and I have former students who are still students at VT. Our hearts and prayers go out [...]
except on April 1.
Mark got “had” by Google.
Too bad, he was really excited about the new service!
Teehee.
Mark (probably in a fit of delirium) finally decided to acknowledge his losing battle with “the dark side” and switch over to using my old PowerBook. Yes, he took the leap. Personally, I think the ads finally got to him and he just wanted to start looking cool.
He was having fun moving all his iTunes [...]
Olivia was taken home by her Lord earlier this night. Her pain is now over and she is in his presence.
She passed away peacefully while she was sleeping. This was a mercy not only to her, but to her family.

Please continue to pray for the Waldens. Olivia’s pain is [...]
Olivia was moved on Thursday, Feb 22, to her family’s home in Jersey Shore, PA. She is under hospice care. The family is now all with her (all her siblings have left their jobs and schooling temporarily to be home with the family).
Even though Olivia is mostly sleeping and not communicative, it seems she [...]
