The other night I was having dinner with my family and we started talking about our sleeping habits. My wife was telling my children that, in the morning, we have to be extra quiet because my son is a light sleeper and is easily awoken.
My daughter chimes in and says, ...

So, I'm perusing my Google Reader headlines and I see the following: Artest thinks Vick will emerge 'a better person'. Just the headline alone makes me laugh. Ron Artest has a well-documented history of getting into trouble both on and off the court.

I'm on my way home from work yesterday when my wife calls to tell me that she's taking my son to the doctor's office and that I should meet them there. I asked what happened and she tells me that he got a "bee stuck in his nose."

Probably the most difficult thing for me in making the transition was to find ...

While it seems unthinkable to have a Van Halen reunion without Michael Anthony (MA), the band has decided to exclude him from this tour. (What is it with bassists? A few years ago, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant toured without John Paul Jones, but not as Led Zeppelin). Eddie was ...

Something is wrong with my baby. No...not my children...my other baby: my TiVo Series 3. I got the Series 3 back in June when they were offering a $200 rebate. The issue that is causing me to exchange it started 2 days after I got it. Every 10 - 14 ...

Last week, the newly reformed Van Halen held a press conference. Given that David Lee Roth is (once again) the band's front man, it is only natural that he act as the band's spokesperson. The press conference was about 15 minutes long and I'd say that David Lee Roth willingly ...
