iPotty

This is brilliant…although if Sasha’s anything like her big brother, she’d find a way to pee on the iPad instead of the pot. (A co-worker still brings up the story we told him when Pace was a toddler of Pace standing in our living room and peeing on our VCR!) (via /r/Daddit)

Saturday Snap – “May the Fourth Be With You” Nerd Family Edition

A few different shots in honour of perhaps the nerdiest day of the year: I’m not a programmer but via a handy online interface, was able to create my own watchface for my “21st Century Calculator Watch“. There’s also a web site with lots of other cool watchfaces others with greater skills than my own […]

I’m a Dad – Random Thoughts About Sasha’s First Day (On Her One Week Birthday)

So as much as I’d like to just keep posting pictures of Sasha, eventually I’ve got to get back to blog posts that have “letters” and “words” rather than cute pictures. A good place to start would be with a look back at that first day, inspired partly by many of the notes I scribbled […]

The Funniest Videos on YouTube

Shea and I are having a dress rehearsal for the baby’s arrival (it’s not coming but showed a couple signs it might be so five hours after coming to the hospital to get checked over, we sit awaiting test results.). Shea’s resting so I’m surfing around and came across an /r/askreddit question about the funniest […]

10 Things Wrestling and Religion Have In Common

I don’t watch wrestling as much as I used to but Wrestlemania Sunday is always a special day. I rarely shell out the sixty bucks for the PPV but have watched when I’m with a group of people or at a bar or something. But this year, through the magic of the Internet, I may […]

Saturday Snap – I’ll Miss When Shea’s Not Pregnant…

…I asked her to hold my wine and she agreed. 😉 (Can you see that look of longing in her eyes as she glances at my wine? Actually pretty cruel of us to tempt her this way during a birthday supper for my dad earlier this week!)

Friday Fun Link – Share Some Unique/Insightful Ways You’ve Heard A Child Verbalize Something That’s Become Part of Your Own Vocabulary

Pace’s portmanteau word “ness” is one of the most upvoted comments on this Reddit question although all of the answers are great (with that said, I’m glad it wasn’t my kid who liked to say “cockporn” instead of “popcorn”!)

The 21st Century Calculator Watch?

When I was a kid, the cartoon “Battle of the Planets” was a huge deal for me and my friends. One of the many cool things about the show was that “the G-Force members stay in contact through a wrist-band communicator device.” In grade one, I still remember how I convinced a bunch of my […]
