What’s Up?

  1. Julia's YouTube Debut

    • Dave Allen Barker Jr

    5 year old Julia has enjoyed watching MinutePhysics, "cool physics and other sweet science". On Dec 21 2012, I happened to catch Julia on video referring to MinutePhysics, and being a fan myself, thought I'd post it on YouTube as a video reply to the MinutePhysics video she referred to, "There is no pink light".

    On Jan 27 2013, MinutePhysics creator, Henry Reich, approved the reply and even tweeted about it (I learned from an early comment). As my first YouTube video, it's been an exciting 24 hours:

  2. Happy Halloween

    The first show to hold young Julia's, and now Reed's, attention was Super Why!. It's an animated show on PBS that teaches reading using familiar storybook characters and themes. Jeanie had the ambitious idea for us to dress up as Super Why! characters for Halloween, and pulled off the following costumes for us.

    That's Dave as Alpha Pig, Jeanie as Wonder Red, Reed as Super Why, and Julia as Princess Presto.

  3. Happy Birthday, Reed!

  10. Baby Shower

    • Dave Allen Barker Jr

    [Image: Invitation to Baby Shower] Because of the special efforts of some great friends, and much love from many others, we very much enjoyed our baby shower. Awesome invitations, not too much pink, delicious food and refreshing beverages, a beautiful cake, caring guests, fun conversation, thoughtful gifts… we couldn't ask for more.

    The event got us all the more excited to meet our little one and share her with you all.

  11. It’s a Girl!

  12. Spring is Springing

    • 2005-03-29
    • Dave Allen Barker Jr

    I awoke to the following scene this morning. As you can see, spring is springing, and it is a beautiful sight. You can also see a complete building in the distance center-left that was under constrution in earlier pictures. And now, another something is going up (you can see a giant crane).

    [View Off Our Balcony of a Spring Morning, a Panoramic Photo]

    I just felt like taking a picture, but just one wouldn't do. What you see here is my first panorama—three images stitched together. Can you see the seams? :^)

  13. Wedding Pictures

    • 2005-02-25
    • Dave Allen Barker Jr

    Finally, the professional pictures from our wedding are online.

    They are low quality (captured by holding the prints in front of a video camera), but at least you get the idea.

    If you took digital pictures at our wedding, it'd be great if you could put the full resolution images on optical media (CD or DVD) and mail it to us. We'd really appreciate it!

  14. What a Wedding!

    • 2004-05-12
    • Dave Allen Barker Jr

    Our wedding was incredible, a testament to the wonderful people who are a part of our lives. Thank you so much! We'll try to be good and continue to update our Wedding Webpage as media from the event comes in.

  16. A Stroll Down Memory Lane

    • Dave Allen Barker Jr

    Howdy Y'all,

    To get you a bit more excited about the reunion, I put up the class directory I made in Mrs. Avril's fourth/fifth grade class. I hope you have as much fun with it as I did.

    And please spread the joy, pass the link on to others!

    Peace, out.

  17. Happy Birthday Jeanie!

    • 2003-03-31
    • Dave Allen Barker Jr

    It's Jeanie's birthday tomorrow (2003-04-01), and I just thought everyone should know. Feel free to email her if you'd like. I know I speak for everyone who knows her when I say, "She's the best!" Jeanie's working really hard right now as she begins testing the project she's been developing for her GRA and finishing out the school semester. Happy Bithday, babe!

  18. Happy Birthday Gramps

    • 2002-11-01
    • Dave Allen Barker Jr

    The ol' website has really been slacking of late. This was pointed out to me by my 70-something grandfather who happens to be wired enough to know. So here you go Gramps, something new. Happy Birthday, Rudy!
