A Jogger Stroller As Seen by its Passenger

Posted by on June 14th, 2013, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

Selecting a stroller is basically like buying a car. It can have all the weighing, uncertainty and overwhelm for prospective or expecting parents. Some may even try performing the traditional showroom tire kick. Don’t. Dismayed store clerks will just wind up speaking to you really slowly after that. Remember, though, you’re not buying a ride [...]

What Wings Can Tell You

Posted by on June 7th, 2013, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

Before you even buy the theater ticket or press play, there’s a fair amount of sizing up people do about movies.

The “Hm” Scale of Women

Posted by on May 8th, 2013, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

Women probably have an “Uh” scale like The “Uh” Scale of Men I showed you last week, but repetition can be pretty boring. So I’ve chosen this Hm scale to demonstrate how the length and tone of a spoken word/sound can change its meaning. Especially for women. Why especially for women? The varied meanings of [...]

The “Uh” Scale of Men

Posted by on May 2nd, 2013, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

Even if we never really think about it, we all know words can mean different things by the way they’re said. Don’t believe me? Okayyyyyyy. See? Not only did I acknowledge your response, I also said, “How many times were you dropped on your head as a child, you moron.” I’m not sure why nobody [...]

Crust: A Child’s Natural Enemy

Posted by on April 19th, 2013, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

As parents, attempting to feed your kids good food (or any food) can be an endless, nerve-wracking journey through Internet articles and grocery store aisles. For all the warnings and alerts out there, there exists a serious danger not posted online or on any package. A dietary risk to your child as unsettling as sugar [...]

Ninja Parent Lessons: Tickle Attacks, Part 3 (Advanced)

Posted by on April 10th, 2013, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

I want you to know that I risk my life sharing this shadowy Eastern warrior wisdom with you. Not just because I’m continuously risking assassination from ninjas seeking silent but deadly (not that kind) revenge for broadcasting their proprietary trade secrets, but also because I can be life-threateningly ticklish myself.

Bad Product Idea #12: BeDoodlers Sleepy-Time Skin Markers (For Adults)

Posted by on February 26th, 2013, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

Picture it. The little ones have finally stopped talking and moving and mess-making and… needing. They’re finally sleeping like the rocks you now feel like you’ve been bombarded with. But after the kid-valanche, things can seem startlingly slow. A little boring even. Don’t turn to a screen to chill out and wind down, though. BeDoodle [...]
