We went blueberry picking at Alstede Farms in Chester, NJ, this weekend. The berries were tasty, and we got to see donkeys too!

Some dramatic clouds this morning on my commute on the NJTransit bus. It's fun when the skyscrapers touch the clouds.

Our 5 year old is going to be attending kindergarten in the fall, and I'm looking for a way to take him to school on my bike (he doesn't know how to ride yet and it would be a little far for him). I have a Trek bike (pictured) without any cargo gear yet.
Do you have any recommendations for seats or trailers that could be good? I'm looking for something more on the budget end.
Thanks for any tips!

My 5 y/o son has been wanting to stay up late recently. His preschool still has naps and he doesn't really need them. I try to roll with it. When it is past his bedtime, I let him watch with me but I pick the show. I told him I have to put…

About
As of writing this bio in 2026, I am concerned about climate, biodiversity, and sustainability. I'm trained as a physicist, but interested in how I can help reduce humanity's impact on the planet. I work in a scientific instrument company doing holographic microscopy. I'm into free and open source software (FOSS), sociocracy, non-violent communcation (NVC), unschooling, identifying plants and animals. Currently being a dad and a husband is a big part of my life. I live in northern New Jersey.
