Maggie’s New Toy (and Dad’s too I guess)

Maggie (my almost 5 year old) is either blessed or cursed with a dad like me. I was so excited to see the new FP3 player from Fisher Price announced earlier this year, so I told Santa that Maggie just had to have it. I was not (I mean she was not) disappointed.

Pure Hilarity

I’m sure some of you have seen the clever Elf Bowling around Christmas. Well, that’s all well and good, but the folks at Office Max have kicked it up a notch with www.elfyourself.com. With the right picture, it can be downright hilarious. I wasn’t too impressed with mine (found a crazy pic of me on [...]

Hey, I have an idea . . .

I think we’ve all been there - a brilliant idea pops into our head and we just know that it will be HUGE once it’s brought to life. Well, now you can find out who thought of that brainchild first. Google makes it that much easier with their new Patent Search.

Camera memory finally getting cheaper*

Magic Number 103

I’ve been batting around the idea of getting one of those fancy flat screen TVs. The prices are dropping quickly and the screens just get bigger and bigger. I think a 32 incher would be just right for the bedroom to catch up on some “Heroes” and “Lost”. Well, maybe I need to aim a [...]

Playstation Chaos Revisited

So, I’m listening to the news today and here’s how it went down:
A man stood in line to buy a Playstation with over $2,000 in his pocket (first mistake!). He was waiting to get 3 consoles in order to sell them on Ebay. Well, two masked men came along and held the folks up in [...]
