Language Documentation Gear

I have been investigating some new video equipment for language documentation. Currently highly recommended is the Osmo Pocket 3 and the GoPro Hero 11 (as this has GPS embedded whereas the GP12 does not).

Radwagon 4 Collapse

My kids and I started using our Radwagon 4 this year to commute around the Belle Mead area of New Jersey. Often we make the trip into Princeton. Today we got our things loaded up on the bike and just as I had started the electrical assistance the front tire tore off and we crashed at the end of our long-ish driveway.

A List of French Language Resources for Young People

I put this list together for Katja’s learning and exposure. The context is that she is 9 and has had 4 years of exposure and two years of bi-lingual education in French.

Princton Rec Pool Lifeguards

The first time Katja swam with me at the Rec pool she asked me if this was a dangerous pool to swim at. The question caught me off guard. I asked her what she meant.

Park reviews

We are in the throughs of evaluating parks in new areas. Hilltop park has a skate park and Hugh rates it 5/5 while Katja rates it as 3/5.
