I was a 70’s baby. When I was a kid we often played with our favorite Star Wars action figures. Each one stood about 5 inches, yes “stood”.
Maybe I’m getting old, but the Star Wars action figures today suck.
I remember the GI Joes from the generation before me seemed massive in comparison. The classic dolls [...]
When most people think of Dolly Parton they think of her flash Country persona, her anatomy (sorry, but it’s true), her starring in Nine to [...]
I’m a big film geek, I have been for many years. It probably all began when my mum took me to go see House of Wax in 3D, starring Vincent Price. No, I’m not “that” old, it was a re-release.
I decided last weekend to take my son to go see a movie, Monsters [...]
Last night I came across my daughter’s swaddle blanket as I was cleaning up. It brought back some great memories, especially because my friend Brad [...]
I just came across a post from LifeHacker a couple of days ago on a YouTube player for children called Kideo.

Darren Rowse explains RSS well on his Problogger blog, as does Common Craft in their video: RSS In Plain English. Finally, watch the video: Google [...]
When I was a kid our family photos were all kept in albums. The hundreds of photos were meticulously positioned under the plastic static film on each page by my mum. She was great about writing the dates and locations of the photos on the backs.
Today we’re lucky enough to have plenty of storage in [...]
I’m always searching for new apps for my iPhone, I was thrilled when I recently found a free version of PacMan. As I searched through the iTunes Music Store free apps section, I came across an amazing app that’s so much more useful than killing ghosts.
Phone Aid serves as a quick guide and support system [...]
When your baby is born you will likely be housebound for a while. That means that you’ll be home to help your wife and tend to your wee one. This is awesome, sure you’ll be pretty sleep deprived, but it’s still awesome. There’s nothing better than gently hugging on your son or daughter, and on [...]
I can safely say that it’s not easy being forced to watch children’s programming. Many of the programs are too slow and repetitive, like the [...]
