I’ve Got Pac-Man Fever!

Pac-Man cake

I grew up on Pac-Man. Not that I was any good at it. But I loved gobbling up those little energy pellets almost as fast as the arcade machine gobbled up my quarters. Then I met my wife in college, who was not only a huge fan of Ms. Pac-Man, she was also the best [...]

Happy Star Wars Day! #MayThe4thBeWithYou

Me and Chewie

If you didn’t know it (and now you do), today is the official Star Wars Day! Yep, it happens every year on May 4. As in, “May the 4th Be With You!” Whether you’re 40-year-old geek who still sleeps on his Star Wars sheets (uh, no, that’s not me… yet) or a 6-year-old girl who [...]

Get Yourself a Memory Like an Elephant with the Educational and Entertaining Zoo Snap App

Zoo Snap

I’ve played Memory probably a gazillion times in my life. I can’t… uh… actually remember the exact number, but trust me, it’s a lot. As a kid, I’d take a deck of cards, lay them all out face down and then play “matching” with my sister. When my kids were younger we played a few [...]

How to Install a Waterpik RainFall+ Rain Shower Head in Under 4 minutes!

No Pressure

I’ve proudly boasted about my lack of handyman skills before. But the one thing I never told you guys is that besides being handy with electronics, I can actually do one piece of plumbing pretty well. Yes, I can change shower heads. Oh, and toilet seat covers too. Those are easy. I’ve changed shower heads [...]

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 [...]

Before Yesterday, I Never Even Heard of Bibimbap and Now I Want to Eat Another One

Chicken Bibimbap

Now that I’m working in the city, my stomach is in seventh heaven. Instead of finding only pizza parlors and Chinese takeout, I can pick any block and probably find a dozen or so completely unique restaurants. Japanese. Korean. Thai. Vegetarian. Irish pubs. Street vendors. (Mmm… street meat.) If it’s food, they’ve got it in New York. [...]

Yep, I Rode On a Double-Decker Train

Double Decker Train

I recently got myself a full-time job down in Manhattan. This despite my life-long declaration to never, ever, ever, ever work in NYC. It’s not that I hate the city (it is loud and crowded), I just hate the commute. Where I live there’s no quick, easy commute in. You either take a super crowded, [...]

Two Marvel-ous Sequels: Captain America 2 and Thor 2 are Under Way!

Thor: The Dark World

After last year’s Avengers movie, it’s tough not to be crazy pumped for any and all Marvel movies coming out in the next few years! Iron Man 3 is just a few weeks away, but Marvel Studios has released some initial pics and information about two sequels I cannot wait to see. First up is [...]

I Epic-ly Failed My Kids and They Caught It On Video

epic

This past weekend, the weather was gorgeous, so I tossed the kids outside, locked the doors and curled up with a beer and a Yankees game. Okay, that’s not entirely true. I didn’t have any cold beer. But the kids did play outside for awhile and I even joined them. They were playing on our playground, which, [...]
