Zachary Winston Williams: Phreak of Physics

Welcome to Zach's Blog

After seemingly endless prodding, teasing and thinly veiled condescension from friends and family, my wife and I have finally succumbed to peer pressure and have entered the 21st century. That's right, we are now officially "blogging". Besides, what better way to introduce ourselves to this mysterious and novel medium than through the shameless exploitation of our wonderful little boy, Zachary Winston Williams. Since before he was even born Zach has been a constant source of "oohs" and "aahs" which I have piously and painstakingly documented with my camera. Indeed, you- the common citizen of the Internet, will no longer have to miss out on precious moments such as "Baby's first dirty diaper" or "Baby blows milk out his nose all over mom".

During the first months of his life, Zach has had his photograph taken ad nauseum. I have countless photos of myself, Lesley, friends, family and a few complete strangers holding our son in every possible setting imaginable. There are so many photos in fact, that it would be impractical and maybe even a bit cruel to post them all here. So in order to conserve both available memory and the readers sanity, the plan is to pick a 'small' handful of the best pictures and include a link to my flickr website for those with the fortitude to tackle the rest.

On my son's behalf, I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation and gratitude for your interest in his life. I hope all of you will enjoy watching him grow and develop over the next months and years. I know I will.

Phreak of Physics

I have discovered perpetual motion. Well, okay no, that's not entirely accurate. I should give credit where it is due; I have created perpetual motion.

My son. He never stops moving. Ever. I'm serious.

Today I stood witness to him running in circles for a full 30 minutes after consuming a bite of hot dog and a small morsel low fat cheese.

Calories consumed: <50
Calories burned: >200

He ran and ran and ran as if he had chugged a full pot of coffee sweetened with a few hits of amphetamine. About 15 minutes into his high, I realized I was witnessing something special. I turned on the video camera to capture the action. My cameras' batteries ran out before he did.

I'm not kidding.

This, of course defies not only basic logic, but also the First and perhaps even the Second Laws of Thermodynamics. Impossible right?

Wrong. Aristotle never met my son. Zachary stands in paradox to the most basic forces in the Universe.

It's true. I've seen it with my own eyes. Believe me, I'm as stunned as you are. My son has the power to defy the most principle laws of physics. Who would have guessed? Not this Daddy blogger I assure you.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to start writing my acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize.
