Pedro Javier ("PJ") is Insomniac Coder's son. PJ has mild autism, is addicted to Youtube, AppleTV, balloon animals and Thomas the Tank Engine.

So we are at PJ's favorite restaurant ...

Generous George’s, in Herndon, VA. And our very nice waitress takes our order, then after a minute she comes back:

“Hi, this may sound a little creepy, but did you take a video of him making his own pizza and post it to youtube?”

Well, yes, yes we did :-)

I thought it was funny that with what seemed to look like a busy night, with kids in almost every other table, an employee managed to recognize PJ from a video in youtube.

Try to lose this one (via pvera)
PJ keeps misplacing his remotes, so we got him this monstrosity from The Sharper Image. The center remote is my Logitech Harmony, which rocks HARD but PJ is not allowed to use it (no $80 super universal remotes to children that like to slam things on the floor, sorry). The third one is PJs current universal remote, which gets lost on an hourly basis.
The Apple TV controller isn’t pictured because as usual it is lost. It is maybe two inches long, one inch wide and about a quarter inch thick. It is white, nearly impossible to find when the floor in his room is white tile.

La La is up (via pvera)
PJ keeps mashing up his obsessions, this one is pretty meta: Teletubbies, balloons and Pixar’s UP.

At Generous George’s in Herndon, VA. PJ is watching his own reflection on the glass panes, he didn’t care about whatever it is that was happening outside.

Butterfly (via pvera)
This is for Karla.
PJ did this with no coaxing or help whatsoever. Ivette was taking a nap and I was playing on the Xbox, and he walks in with this butterfly. The construction paper came from a notebook that he got as an early present from Karla. The antennae and legs came from another present, but they were intended to be used to make some kind of fish things. PJ obviously decided he had a more important/clever/whatever use for the craft wire than what the designer of the fish figure kit had intended.
Oh, and the book is a gift from the same bundle, it was the only plain white surface I could find so the colors wouldn’t get obliterated by the lamps.
