David is an awesome dad. He and Cameron have been working on some basic robotics together, since Cameron has been dreaming of building a robot for years now. In the course of researching their robot, David became fascinated with the idea of . . . and I'm sure I'm going to get this wrong . . . building a laminar flow water shooter? He asked me to pick up some straws at the grocery store and when I came home with a box of 100 he said, "Ohhhh. Uh, I don't think that's going to be enough for the laminar flow project. But maybe it'll do for a first experiment."
Somehow, the straws, some PVC and our garden hose were transformed into a water shooter. I guess the part you are supposed to be impressed by here is that there are no drips of water, just a smooth archway. In any case, the boys love it and had a blast working on it with their dad!

That is cool!
Hey, I don't know if he is quite old enough, but he might be interested in scratch.mit.edu . Scratch is a programming language that's supposed to be for all ages.
David is an awesome Dad. Very cool (literally) project.
