As promised in my previous post, here are photos of Pork Chop’s Valentine Eating Gator. It was a big hit at school. Pork Chop of course loved it!

It was easy to make. All you need to make it is:

4 sheets of green paper

2 googly eyes

1 sheet of red paper

1 clear tape

1 glue stick

Crayons

Cut sheets of paper large enough to cover the sides, top and bottom of the gator.

Cut the shoe box at the back 1/4 of the box so that the box will open like a alligator mouth

Tape the lid to the box around the back 1/4 of the box.

Cut teeth shapes on the front section.

Cover the lid and sides of the box with the green paper using the glue stick.

Use extra strips to make a look and tape to the rear 1/4 to make the eyes.

Glue on the googly eyes to the loops.

Using a brown crayon make scales on the entire box.

Wa LA! Googly Gator!

To All,

National Gang week is starting soon.  This is their new target method:
While driving on any roads, if you see a baby car seat sitting on the
side of the road, DO NOT STOP!!!  This could be the Gang’s trap.  They
target people especially women, to stop their vehicle to help a baby.
They make this baby look as if it has blood on itself or on it’s
clothes.  When you exit from your vehicle in attempt to help, the gangs
jump out from cornfields or tall bushes.  They have beaten women to near
death, and then continue to rape them.  Their goal is to torture the
victims to death in anyway possible.  If you do happen to see a car
seat, DO NOT STOP, CALL POLICE IMMEDIATELY!!!.  Please forward this
message to everyone you know.

Today I received a Twit from @Alltop regarding Facebook and privacy. This was a very interesting and enlightening article about how Facebook stores and handles your private data.

The people at TheRumpus.net interviewed a friend that works at Facebook.  They talk about a master password, eye-tracking, how each picture you upload has 6 versions and Hyper PHP.

Hello all! Once again I am going to be making an apology in my post to you all. I have been very busy with school, work, Scouts, baseball and the house.

The main site I update now is CubScoutPack404.com which is my son’s Cub Scout troop. We are on vacation this week. Unfortunately no one is off until Wednesday night so we find ourselves at someone else’s home and they are not home : (

At least we still have an internet connection and I can do some thing productive.

Thank you to everyone that is still reading SparkDad.com

Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Wow! School started. Scouts started. Baseball started. I got a small consulting job from home.

All of this equals NO POSTs! But I feel very bad about that and about to get on a post at least 1x per week schedule.

I would like to find out from you the readers what sort of content you would like to see on the site.

Please email me at dad@sparkdad.com to give me any subjects that you would like to read about.

Thanks!

Spark Dad
