Rock Nest Series. Great, Thanks Will

Just got done watching the frist part of the rock Nest series with my kids. we are going to watch the 3 remaining parts together because their minds being uncorrupted see all kinds of things that shouldn't be there. I kind of gave them an explaination of how it worked (kind of like finding pictures in clouds) I had the video going on the big screen for them and the the nasa tiff in a pip making annotations in photoshop with a stylus in the window.It was hard to keep up with them.

At first they were seeing elephants and monkeys, then I told them to pretend a tornado hit and you had to put it back togher in your head in order to help the insurance man get the people a new place. (It could be a business, house, factory, car or garden) I kind of gave them the nature vs human construction talk .. symmetry vs randomness. They identified alot that I missed, my son is really good at seeing geometry or man-made angles as he calls them. In one of the other pictures he found what looks like a bracket, complete with bolt holes and all.

So tonight I had to explain the splotches (the intentionally blurred patches) the youngest in her wisdom pointed out that my taxes pay for nasa and that I am entitled to a picture that hasn't been "messed with" and that I should call the fbi on them.
I didn't want to explain why that might not be too good for daddy's career as a government employee (I'm a machinist for one of the bigger contractors) so I told her there were 4 people in line ahead of me but that she could start a rough cooy tomorrow at daycare. Oh, did I mention she's only 6 anyway, if there is something to find on the pictures I have my odds of finding something have gone up ten fold. And it's great for the kids, they get to flex their imaginations and not hesitate because of fear of being sarcastically corrected. Damn teachers sound like they went to the same schools as the local news casters. Make fun of anything you don't understand or pretend it doesn't exist.

Well thanks again Will im sure parts 2-4 wilo be good also. I think they are pretty excited about it. They even nicknamed it as kids do, crime - scene- mars. Rofl.

Cheers all
