Anyone who has ever seen Return of The Jedi is immediately drawn to mountain biking. Those scenes where the speeder bikes are zipping around the trees on single track are the POV that every cyclist sees. In their heart of hearts, every cyclist thinks about that movie scene once or twice when they’re on the trial. Continue reading The Action Shot Video Camera is an affordable POV device
Streaming movies on Vudu is not magic, but it sure makes viewing easy
Streaming movies sounds so hip and modern. If that were the case then I would be akin to a cartoon caveman, still moving his car around with his feet. Our computer is not hooked up to the TV (yet….) and until recently streaming movies sounded like something more George Jetson than Fred Flintstone. Continue reading Streaming movies on Vudu is not magic, but it sure makes viewing easy
Sonic Youth of my Loins II: With a Chorus
When Toddler Mojo was just crawling I wrote a post that tried to explain the noises coming from him. Now that More Mojo has joined the family the noises are akin to those from two years ago, but in stereo. Continue reading Sonic Youth of my Loins II: With a Chorus
Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi Volume 1 review
Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, Volume 1 collects the five issue mini-series and takes place 25,000 years before the Jedi that we’ve seen in the movies.

Updating the winter fashion for a growing toddler at CookiesKids
One of the joys of having two boys that are almost two years-to the day apart, is that they can in theory share clothing. That theory can quickly fly out of the window if the second one grows quicker or slower than his big brother. In our case, More Mojo is growing much quicker that he did, which is preventing us from recycling their clothing as much.

Skyfall continues the Bond curse, but is the best bond in ages
There is a curse among James Bond movies. One of curses is that every other James Bond movie will be bad, or at least not nearly as good as its predecessor. In good news that is the curse that this movie continues. If you only saw Quantum of Solace and thought that was a James Bond movie, then you owe it to yourself to see Skyfall.
