I was interviewed by Michael Finney with ABC7 out of San Francisco. You may have heard my earlier radio interview, well now here I am on the glorious tube.

Tonight I had to change my son’s diaper. The men’s room at the restaurant we were at did not have a changing table, so I knocked a few times and ducked into the ladies room to use their changing table. I was very anxious someone would walk in. Luckily the only person that did come in was my Mother in law… so she stuck around and acted as look out until I was done.

So I created this sign, to print and keep handy (not sure how I’ll attach it to the door… hmmm) for the next time.
Feel free to download and print out this PDF to keep for future situations.

It was pouring down rain when I tried to grill out on Labor Day. However I wanted to teach my son an important lesson. It’s Labor Day, you gotta have something from the grill. Be it yours, or a good friend’s. It started pouring, but I would not be daunted from trying out the awesome burgers I had put together. You gotta do hand formed patties of ground beef, mixed with Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, a dash of Mrs. Dash, a drop of liquid smoke, and one egg to give the patties some consistency. I push a small thumb hole in the middle of the patty so they don’t puff up, and I drink one bottle of Yeungling for timing.
Here is my grill, with steam wafting off the top. The burgers were tasty, almost as delicious as the irony. The rain stopped about 5 minute after I served up the burgers.

A new report from Reuters is claiming it will take almost $300,000 to raise a child born in 2008 to adulthood. They obviously do not buy Thomas the Tank Engine or Playmobil or XBoxes for their children.
Oh, the article states this doesn’t include the cost of college or childbirth.

Pricetag to raise a child — $291,570

I work in Washington DC and many of the merchants I come across post their Minimum Credit Card Purchase policy. I’ve tried to buy a $2 chocolate milk with my debit card and been told that I have to spend at least [$10] to use my credit card. Thanks to reading the The Consumerist I know that it is against the store’s Merchant Agreement to demand a minimum purchase.

I think the Onion gets right to the issue here. Will someone think of the children? Our nation’s girls will be obsessed with an impossible body image of a skinny waist and a huge head.

My 17 month old son likes to come up and randomly hit keys on my laptop, hoping to start a song or video or hear a system beep. This past weekend, he hit some key combination that rotated my desktop by 180° He couldn’t tell me what he hit, and I had no idea how to switch it back. Not only was the screen upside down (see pic) but the touchpad moved the cursor in the opposite direction than what I was doing. I was able to hold the laptop upside down (typing upside down) and google how to rotate my desktop display. I found it pretty easily. (Most results were in response to people in a similar situation) For future help, (or a sweet prank to play on an sunspecting victim) hit Crtl + Alt + (arrow key) (note, this is for at least XP, not any older)
