Life is a mashup of toys and gadgets, hobbies and recipes, kids and odd socks, all held together with love and duct tape.
This is my kind of holiday, because it combines Star Wars and a pun. The whole point of celebrating Star Wars Day is that you get to repeat this greeting as many times as possible: May the Fourth be with you! Get it? Today is May 4, 2009. May the Fourth! The only thing that [...]

I’m tempted to develop a Ninja Warrior type squirrel obstacle course with a zipline, jump-hang, and wobbly bridge, to make the little guys work [...]

Happy New Year, everybody! I’m still digging through boxes. Has anyone seen the one labeled “lamp shades?” In other news, here’s a link I found a while back (October, 2008), but never got around to sharing. It’s a Dream Captcha, by Jeffrey Augustine Songco, and I think it’s brilliant! Not only does it look awesome, [...]

WELCOME! I can't teach you how to monetize your blog, but I can offer you some mostly intelligent conversation, moderately geeky tech talk, very funny mom stories, with the occasional rant thrown in for sanity. I'm so glad you're here!
