NOTEBOOK
Our commentary, our experiments, our failures (more often than not) and our experiences in the field. Except for the ones our wives won’t let us share. This is our lives as dads.
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 [...]

Our Epic Play Date
We aren’t the types to use the word YOLO in a sentence, let alone all by itself, but when we were asked to invent and lead an activity for 200 people at Hyundai’s “Epic Play Date” event just outside Santa Barbara, we knew we had to do something EPIC. YOLO. You only live once. To [...]

The Green-Eyed Monster: A Tour of Pixar & Monster University

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 [...]

Tasers for Kids
I rarely, if ever, give a full-fledged piece of parenting advice. I’m not a fan of “the authority” or specialists or people telling me how to live my life, but I think it’s time I finally take a dip in the “this is how you do it” parenting pool. It’s a dirty pool, by the [...]
