Studying Monsterology is Terrifyingly Rad
Someone once said, “Learning to do everything is both impossible and highly suggested.” Oh, wait. That was me. Never mind. But in the interest of trying new things and doing the impossible, I went to Pixar in advance of the release of “Monsters University” on June 21st. Charged with learning about the animation process behind [...]

Cleaning Up San Francisco…
Sometimes, you get invited to do things or go places and it reminds you what a different person you have become. How much more cleaned up you are… Clorox invited me to hang out with them at a truck on a street corner one day. I know that sounds dirty. It was the opposite of [...]

Best Friends
Who wants to get kicked right in the feels? Pucker up… While I’m not certain everyone would agree that being a friend is the same thing as being a dad, and believe me there is a semantic, overly-worded debate there that will never end — I love the subtlety of the moments in this video. [...]

Our Epic Play Date

Happy Birthday Two Me
Today is my birthday so I wanted to let you all know about the gift I really want this year: Healthy. Balls. That’s right. Today is the day my testicles were born, so I’ve decided to throw them a small, slightly egg-shaped birthday party. It’s a joint party, of course, so it needn’t be spectacular. [...]

Worth A Trip: Walt Disney Family Museum with #MonstersUEvent
Back in 2009, two awesome things happened: 1. My son was born. 2. The Walt Disney Family Museum was born. These two births probably had a lot of wide eyes and screaming. Right? And like my son, this museum is not like other museums. It’s not the boring ‘field trip with a monotone docent half-falling [...]

How Not To Be A Dad?
So, I found this over the weekend. I don’t want to color your opinion of it beforehand, so I’ll just let you watch and then we can chat… Of course, we don’t actually know this man and the whole story to his life, so making broad generalizations about him is petty. But I would like [...]

The Green-Eyed Monster: A Tour of Pixar & Monster University
Remember when I said I was going to Monsters University on the prestigious Disney-Pixar campus? I know. You were probably studying super hard for your Scare 101 finals and had 13 cups of coffee, but dudes, it was awesome. At first, the thought of going back to college was a bit troubling. I didn’t have [...]
