Kiss has just released a live box set that contains Kiss Alive! I - III and a previously unreleased Kiss Alive! IV. I'm sure this must be a mistake, but it's available on iTunes for $1.49. That comes out to about 2 cents a song!

When you have young children, a trip to the ER, while not common, is not that surprising. I was at work this morning when my wife called me. She was on her way to the ER with my son. We weren't sure what was wrong with him. His pre-school teacher ...

I apologize in advance if this post grosses you out.
For the past year or so, we've been putting my son (my second child) on the potty occasionally. We're at a point where he goes pee pee nearly every time we put him on the potty. That's a great thing, however, ...

It seems that Michael Anthony is officially out of Van Halen. This isn't too surprising, since Mike didn't have many nice things to say about his role in Van Halen (and the state of Van Halen in general) earlier this year.

Yesterday, I had my Verizon FiOS service installed. Nothing really eventful happened. Although I did have to cut a large whole in the bulkhead in my newly finished basement so that the technician could fish a wire from the outside of my house to my office, which is on the ...
