Pacifiers – To use or not to use?

When Devin was first born, I didn’t want him to use a pacifier for fear of interfering with breast feeding. I had read a lot about how a baby should wait to use them. Even the Mayo Clinic offers similar advice. Unfortunately the few times they took him away from me at the hospital, they always brought him back with a pacifier.

I Am Who?

Brian J. Noggle pointed in the direction of the “Classic Leading Man Test,” and I took the bait. Luckily, I am not Jimmy Stewart either. If you prefer not to define yourself as a leading man, you may try the “Classic Dames Test” instead.

Netflix – Great for us!

Everyone’s seen that TV commercial of the mom making a commercial for Netflix with her kids jumping around and her husband trying to talk to her. She finally screams at them all in her last ditch effort at sanity. Well, I kinda know how she feels.

The Importance of Family

The past week and a half has shown me the importance of family. My son, Devin, was born with a good size family, nothing huge, but a number of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and extended family to love him. This is great, but unfortunately, his family lives far away.

Fiesta Pigs are Good!

When life’s commotion becomes overbearing, it sometimes helps to toss a little tongue-in-cheek humor into the mix. I spent an evening chuckling to myself as I contemplated a bizarre twist to the familiar factory-farming concept. Ever eaten a Guinea Pig?

Microsoft, Apple, Patent Struggle?

News.com has launched another article that has captured and focused the energy of the anti-patent crowd into yet one more discussion focused on how lousy Microsoft is, and how the world should be without software patents. Unfortunately, News.com led its readers to believe the patent covered user-interface designs, and this just may not be quite true.
