Dad Who Knows Things
США
Добавлен 7 окт 2011
Hi, I'm Frank, a retired software developer, father, husband, homeowner, fixer, gardener, gamer, weightlifter, investor, vacationer, grill chef, ... in other words, I'm a dad who knows things. Some I know quite a bit about and other things I figure out as I go along and I make videos about these things from time to time. This is not a topic specific channel. It's more a "here's something I know/learned that you might find interesting" sort of a channel. I post videos when I'm good and ready; it could be two per week or two per year. Comments, especially from experts, are more than welcome. Yes, I read all the comments but I do reserve the right to boot mean/unhelpful comments off my virtual lawn. :) Lastly, I'll never bug you to like or subscribe. This is a hobby for me, not a living. Like, subscribe, and turn on notifications if you want, or not. It's your life. I don't judge. :)

Early Spring Compost Check
Просмотров 1234 месяца назад
#compost #spring #gardening I recorded myself checking on my compost piles for the first time since late November or so. Yes, I added kitchen scraps to bin #1 over the winter, but that's about it. My first year of composting in 2022-2023 resulted in my pile being too high in nitrogen, and it stank, big time. So this year (2023-2024) I started with and added more shredded fall leaves and as a re...

The problem with PEMDAS
Просмотров 2136 месяцев назад
#pemdas #math #teaching In this video I discuss my big issue with PEMDAS, namely that schools insist on teaching math with the outdated, and confusing division sign yet they don't discuss ways to make mathematical expressions more clear. Math is logical thinking applied to numbers which requires clarity of thought and expression. The division sign gets in the way of that. Our students need to b...
