Will the bB:f posts be part of the general bB feed, or are they kept separate? I see they've been tagged on the bB:f page, but I don't seem to see any of them in my RSS.

It's nice to see them again. They were actually my dad's. He used them for reference when he wrote and illustrated a syndicated comic strip called "Dr. Funshine," which ran all around the country in the early 1960's. It was a DIY science experiment comic, starring Dr. Funshine who bore a striking resemblance to Einstein. I've looked all over for more information on the strip, only finding brief mentions in the ethers.  As a child I had many of the books in the picture above. It’s nice to see them again.

I love doing and building things together with my daughter, and I have gotten so many good ideas from BoingBoing, too (I was just today reading article about the Make 3D printer issue with the thought of it perhaps being time to get one... you know, to do stuff with my daughter, always a good excuse! :) ). So I'm really looking forward to reading Boing Boing Family!
