Hi all…
Continuing on the theme of my trip to Germany (since it’s not quite done yet, but I get to do the long trek home tomorrow)… Today I attended my conference, but still managed to escape for a bit of sight seeing.

So as you may (or may not) know, I’m in Ludwigsburg , Germany this week for a conference for work. Having never been out of the country except for Canada and Mexico, I have to say I was enthusiastic to go. An adventure!

Hi all!
As a parent of two young girls, ages 3 and 7, I’ve regularly struggled with what brand or type of educational software to pick up for them. Over the last few years, I have to admit the track record of this type of software has been hit and miss, but the JumpStart series from ...

Wow. It’s been a while since I had to admit an addiction to a game. Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Civilization 2, 3, and 4 are the most recent forms of addiction for me, but I have to add a new one…

Shrek the Halls takes a bit of Scrooge and a lot of Shrek and tosses him into a warped version of the classic Night Before Christmas story. When the holidays hit the Swamp, Shrek seems to be the only one not gung-ho. And Donkey, in his usual annoying and exuberant way, makes it all ...

it seems to be
an endless war
politics and religion
locking horns
and your freedom.

This week I saw that MTV has decided to return to its roots. When I watched MTV (yes, I’m old) back in the 1980s, music videos were still young. Each video director and artist had an opportunity to put a unique spin on the new media and share it with the world relativey ...

Each year for the last four or five years, I discovered that though I may not like every single Simpsons’ episode, I simply must watch the annual Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror episode around Halloween . This year was no different!

Having never experienced Todd Hannigan’s music, I was in for a pleasant surprise when it arrived. Starting with “Playas” I was drawn into a miasma of guitars and lyrics that has kept me entertained for most of the last couple of days.

This season of Supernatural has been great so far, but I have to comment a bit on the episode from October 23, 2008 - “Yellow Fever”. My wife and I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time.
