Having decided that our boys don’t have enough things that induce parental annoyance, when I saw this kids harmonica being offered during last week’s Woot-Off, I just knew I had to snag one. Since I forgot about the thing immediately after ordering it, I was delighted to see that the mail lady delivered it yesterday […]
I realized yesterday that it’s been awhile since I’ve written about some of my currently-favorite technology tools, so here are a few, in no particular order.

Flickr added the ability for Pro members to upload video last week, so I decided to give it a shot. They, wisely in my opinion, decided to limit videos to 90 seconds, which seems appropriate in the context of viewing photos. Here’s the video of AJ that I took this morning. I like the end […]
I’ve been terrible lately about getting our photos off the camera and up on Flickr, so to partially make up for it, I recorded a little something for you this evening. I present to you, Kael’s fingerstache. In case you missed that internet meme, here’s a little background info for you: Boston news report on […]
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Improv Everywhere before, but the group consistently puts out some of the most clever and ingenious comedy I see. They just released their latest piece, Food Court Musical, which is one of the best I’ve seen yet: Some of their previous “missions” you might also enjoy: No Shirts […]
