Posted by on April 19th, 2011, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

  [ click the image to enlarge ] A simple examination of the common attributes of babies and zombies so that a greater mastery of each may be achieved. Why, you ask? Uhhh… Okay, maybe it’s just more like one of those “why the heck not?” questions, but this is in no way intended to [...]

Leave My Son Alone, Please?

Posted by on April 18th, 2011, under NOTEBOOK

Why people say and do things around babies that make them appear clinically insane is well beyond my intellect. I’m neither a germaphobe nor a control freak, but seriously, what mental train derails off its mental track that makes bystanders say “What a cute little girl!” to my son, Finn, when he was nine months [...]

“How To Workout From Home”

Posted by on April 15th, 2011, under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

I was actually pretty pissed off when I saw this because: A. It’s so funny. B. I was going to do a version of this and someone beat me to it. Here’s the Stay at Home Dad Workout (SAHD WO). This is incredible and I love it. Great work, guys. Except for you, workout guy. [...]

Big Brother? Big Daddy!

Posted by on April 15th, 2011, under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

First off, I’m not a paranoid parent. I check on my son if it’s: A. a loud noise in my son’s room or B. Too quiet. So, when we got this baby monitor as a gift at my wife’s baby shower, I was a little skeptical. It saved my life. And thankfully wasn’t necessary to save Finn’s. This little [...]

Steven Seagal of Diaper Changes

Posted by on April 14th, 2011, under NOTEBOOK

Am I the only dad who feels like he’s in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu match with his child during diaper changes? It looks like I’m assaulting Finn with the amount of “hand control” and joint locks I’m using. But I’m the Steven Seagal of diaper changes. This one time my son hijacked a ship and I [...]

Damn You Autocorrect: Benihana

Posted by on April 13th, 2011, under SNAPSHOTS

  I texted Avara to see if she wanted to go to Benihana that night. But iPhone autocorrect punked me. Or maybe it can read my mind?

Parental Crossing Sign

Posted by on April 12th, 2011, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

  You’ve seen the pleasant Pedestrian Crossing signs where the silhouettes of a man and a woman move across some black lines. He gallantly holds the arm of the woman and they both have neat little bags in their arms, probably laptops they’ll whip out at the local Starbucks. They’re pedestrians, it’s what they do. [...]

Parent Proofing

Posted by on April 10th, 2011, under NOTEBOOK

I’m alright with some basic baby proofing. For those of you without babies (and a low IQ) this has nothing to do with birth control. Cabinet locks are great for anyone who doesn’t want their kid freshening up their breath with Raid bug spray, sure. And some stick-on foam for the sharp corners of a [...]
