Over the years, my wife and I have let our CD collections blend into one another. To tell you the truth, it’s mainly my fault. Most of the discs are mine, and I’m not as good at filing things away as she is. But I’m doing my part by getting rid of as many of […]

As I mentioned recently, I’m finding it tough to get as much done on the weekends as I’d like these days. I haven’t got nearly as much free time as I did before my kid came along, so my weekends aren’t the arena of accomplishment that they used to be. But that doesn’t mean I […]

I’ve started using an iPhone app called Habit List to chart my routines and resolutions. App Advice recently gave it a great review, and I’m more than happy to second it. It’s a simple but versatile app that offers a lot more usability and flexibility than some of the similar apps I’ve tried. What it […]

One of the things I’m trying to commit to doing this year is cooking more. Not cooking better, you understand, at least not at first. Just cooking more, for the sake of doing my part. I’m not what you would call a “food guy.” I like a good meal, but I don’t have a Twitter […]

When I first played BioShock, I rescued all the Little Sisters I could find. When given the option to spare a character’s life in Grand Theft Auto IV, I did so. Even in Jetpack Joyride, I’d rather high-five a scientist than gun him down. If a game allows me the option of making moral choices, […]

If you’re like me, and you’re still trying to get a handle on the #IdleNoMore protests, then you’re not alone. The movement has grown so quickly in its first few weeks, and spread so far beyond our borders, that even the people behind the movement’s official website have said they can’t keep up with all of the […]

By the time this post gets published, I’ll be back at the office after a two-week vacation. I’ll also have been awake since a “dad duty” shift at 4:00 AM, which is going to make today a challenge. I guess I should thank my daughter for helping me keep my resolution to get up early, […]

If you were actually awake at midnight, then you partied harder than my wife and I. After an eight-hour flight from the UK with an exhausted baby, we were both in bed by 10:30 PM with some wine and an old episode of Futurama. I was asleep by the end credits. On the bright side, […]
