My Name is Andrew and I’m a K’NEX Ambassador

20130519-081255.jpg

I’ve worked with many companies before doing reviews, giveaways and just general posts. But I’ve never before been an official blog ambassador. Blog Ambassadors get to represent a company through multiple posts all year. Specifics vary by company, but some are paid, while others only give you free merchandise to review and give away. I’ve [...]

Reese’s had its chocolate and its peanut butter. And it was good. Heck, it’s STILL good. Especially in the freezer. Drooooool. And now Roxio and Lucas have their Angry Birds and their Star Wars. And fans have Angry Birds Star Wars! How can you not fall in love with a Darth Vader pig? No, seriously? [...]

Win a 1-Year Membership to Disney’s Club Penguin – $60 Value! (Ends 5/15)

Marvel Super Hero Takeover

My kids have been playing Club Penguin on and off for a year or two now. They get into it like mad and obsess over it, then take a break then dive back in every time there’s a new party going on with the site. If you’re unfamiliar with Club Penguin, it’s now a Disney-owned [...]

Win a 1 Year Subscription to Norton Online Backup #NortonBackup (Ends 4/25)

Norton online backup

Every time I get a new computer, I clean up the old one and hand it down to my kids. Yeah, we’re one of those families where everyone has their own computer. I know. I know. “Back in MY day, we had one computer. And we all shared it. And we had to walk 19 [...]

Win Rise of the Guardians on DVD (Ends 4/17)

Rise of the Guardians DVD

I remember seeing the movie trailer for DreamWorks’ animated Rise of the Guardians months ago. I liked the premise and the animation looked real solid. But my family never got around to seeing it. Maybe because my kids were ambivalent towards it. Maybe because it starred Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, two characters from holidays we [...]

Win a Glow Crazy Distance Doodler (Ends 3/22)

Glow Crazy Distance Doodler_Techno Source

The coolest glow-in-the dark toy I’ve ever owned in my life was a cheap Star Wars light saber knockoff I had when I was a kid. It really looked like a plain white sword, but if you held it up to a light for 30 seconds or so, it’d totally glow in the dark when you turn [...]

Win Kidz Gear Colorful Headphones (Ends 3/4)

Green Headphones

When I was a kid, I used to love playing with my dad’s stereo. He had this big, clunky silver tuner, dual tape deck, and record player. Yes, I’m probably one of the last generations to know what a phonograph is. Anyways, the coolest part about his stereo was when he let me use his [...]

Win Billy Joel’s New CD She’s Got A Way: Love Songs (Ends 2/26)

Billy Joel

When it comes to music, I’ve got a pretty varied taste. Granted, the past decade or so I’ve been way out of touch. I’ll blame having kids on that one. But my CD collection includes everything from Iron Maiden to Billy Joel to the Dances With Wolves soundtrack. I pretty much listen to all types [...]

Win Hasbro’s New Jenga Boom Game (Ends 2/25)

Jenga Boom

Growing up, one of my favoritest games in the world was Superfection! It was just like Perfection (where you have to put small yellow odd-shaped pieces into the board before the timer runs out and the board POPS, sending all the pieces flying. Superfection was the same thing, except instead of small yellow pieces, you [...]

Buy a Custom Suit From the Comfort of Your Own Home With Indochino

The Essential Charcoal Suit

I hate clothes shopping. The constant trying on/taking off is just mega annoying. It’s not like I have dressingroomphobia or anything. I just find it so boring and drawn out. And getting measured for a suit is doubly painful. First you have to walk around with a grumpy salesman to pick a color or pattern. [...]
