In January I wrote about how durable the Brother P-Touch is and how it helped me straighten up the garage. True to the hectic life of a stay at home dad those test strips are still on the floor of the garage and look as good as the day I put them down there. Continue reading The Brother P-Touch Durability Test: The Sequel & Update
WaterPik SinuSense goes mano a mano with my spring allergies
My allergies in the spring are cruel. My nose weighs 20 pounds, I sound like a fool when I talk and nobody can understand me. They start out as allergies and end up as a sinus infection. It’s a dance that my nasal cavities and I have done the past four years. When offered the chance to review SinuSense from WaterPik I jumped like a bunny. Continue reading WaterPik SinuSense goes mano a mano with my spring allergies

Dad spends a night in the mancave: Killer Elite
Some say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. If that’s the case then I’m crazy for Jason Statham. I watch his movies and most of them since The Transporter have been bad. Just when I was about to lump Statham in a pile with all my old JCVD tapes he goes out and stars in a great movie for him. Continue reading Dad spends a night in the mancave: Killer Elite
John Carter is escapist, sci-fi fun that’s good for the family
From the preview that I saw I had already written the review to John Carter in my mind. I had heard the negative hype on the movie and some of the trailers didn’t look engaging. Actually going to ‘see’ the movie was kind of an afterthought and a good excuse to get me out of the house. About ¼ of the way through John Carter I was eating crow, fully engrossed in the film and loving every minute of it. Continue reading John Carter is escapist, sci-fi fun that’s good for the family
Reasons why companies and brands need to respect Dads
The first annual Dad 2.0 conference is happening in Austin this week. One topic that will certainly be discussed is dads, brands, advertising and how they can rectify reality with what really happens. OK, in my ideal world that is how brands would start to work with dads. In reality the conversation at Dad 2.0, relative to advertising and brands may be all about Huggies and not for the reasons they would like. Continue reading Reasons why companies and brands need to respect Dads

I don’t want to die, but I will and have planned for it
I hope it’s a fun funeral that celebrates my life more than my death. They’ll play music to a playlist (that I still need to give my wife) that will include music by Pulp, Astrud Gilberto, Skunk Anansie and Spitz. While I still need to get that playlist to my wife, all of the very serious medical decisions have already been decided. Continue reading I don’t want to die, but I will and have planned for it
