Thanks to the National Inventors Hall of Fame for providing the photos in this post.In today's post, I'm excited to tell you about Camp Invention! This trendy camp is perfect for curious children who learn through hands-on experience. The camps are for grades K-6 and help children to become innovative thinkers. I'm a big fan after my son attended a Camp Invention. Let me share more details.Camp Invention offers camps nationwide. The camps are perfect for children who are creative, curious, and enjoy problem solving. My son attended a Camp Invention a few years ago and raves about the camp.

Editor’s note: This post has been updated with new information. From May 27, bookings will open for summer 2022 sailings on Disney Wish, Disney Cruise Line‘s newest ship in a decade and the first in its trio of Triton-class vessels. Because members of DCL’s Castaway Club loyalty program and Disney Vacation Club received early access to bookings on May 17, the ship’s maiden voyage is sold out, and availability of Concierge-level accommodations is limited to select three-night sailings only. Disney’s 140,000-ton Triton-class ships, constructed at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, are designed to run on liquefied natural gas — a more environmentally friendly fuel. They are slightly larger than the line’s existing Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy ships, but...
“The world is a really interesting place, and making art is a way of being in the world. I don’t really know how else to be. It’s a stance of curiosity.” –Sarah Gerard (Writer, author of Binary Star, Sunshine State, True Love) * Part of growing up pre-Internet (I didn’t have a computer until I went to college) meant my path was a little weird, as most paths of curious kids were then. I didn’t have Wikipedia to direct me through a band’s entire album catalogue. I had to piece things together in my own particular timeline. I used the few cassettes and albums I owned as tiny, self-contained resources. I’d read the liner notes of a Sonic Youth album...

A version of this article originally appeared in the January 1997 issue of SPIN. On the 25th anniversary of Bradley Nowell’s death, we’re republishing the story here. The smog blows east from the coast and there’s nothing to obscure this rooftop Long Beach vantage. You can see the endless strip of sandy shoreline—which established Long Beach as a tourist mecca—and the nearby oil refineries—which helped foot the tab. Facing away from the beach, there’s a hint of LBC, the ghettosphere where gangstas plot revenge and their next hard-core hit. Look straight down in all directions, though, and you spot patches of backyard green, little plots punctuated by sprinklers, crabgrass, hibachis, and Evinrudes. This is the flagstone cradle that rocked Sublime...
