Spend Your Summer Weekend Reading With The Jolley-Rogers!

The Pirates Next Door Starring the Jolley-Rogers

The Pirates Next Door

Came across this fun-filled tale while spending my summer days in the children’s section of my local library. This energetic tale about accepting people’s differences will bring a breath of fresh air to your reading time this weekend.

The Crew

Meet the Jolley-Rogers – a pirate family who is moving to Dull-on-Sea, a quiet seaside town, while they fix up their ship. This unusual family soon has the whole neighborhood gossiping. Defying the grown-ups, Matilda becomes friends with young pirate Jim Lad.

Page from Pirates

When the Jolley-Rogers return to sea, the town realizes that they were wrong to assume the worst when it is discovered that the pirates have buried treasure in everyone’s yard. The neighbors are thrilled, but Matilda is sad to have lost her new friend, until she discovers her own treasure — a pen pal!

See Jonny Duddle’s website for tons of Pirate fun!

Find the book on GoodReads and Amazon.

Whimsical Technology

Ken Kawamoto has created a quite delightful device.

temp-3

The device is capable of downloading information about upcoming weather off the internet, which it then translates into a variety of modes to replicate sunshine, clouds, rain, and even lighting.

temp-2

The Coolest thing is…

Kawamoto made an early version of the device available as a free open-source project called OpenTempescope so you can try building your own, but a consumer version is planned for Kickstarter later this year.

The First (of many) Author Interviews

This weekend

I met up with The Boredom Break crew and filmed a Shivering Snivels segment! BoredomBreak is a great series of Web shows reviewing and discussing the latest, and greatest, in “nerd” and young adult entertainment. Hayley Katherine Briggs, my interviewer, and the entire team were professional and delightful! 

Stick around till the end for a little PG-13 material ;] or don’t!
