I entered a 30 second ad for Johnsonville Sausage. You can just click the link, watch, and then hit the LIKE button, you don’t need to sign in or anything. I think you’ll dig the Father/Son moment. This is also my first attempt at tilt-shift.

We have been having a blast playing with the Nanos by Hexbugs. You can play with the Nanos by themselves, or go nuts building elaborate environments with the modular habitat system. The bugs are perfect for kids ages 3 & up, but I’m pretty close to bringing in this habitat to the office.

You can check out more about the Nanos from Hexbugs.com. And if you’re a collector, you can register your Nano’s unique online code at HandandStars.com

Bonus: Listen to me chat about the Nano’s on Magic 106.5 FM with Jack Logar a few weeks back!

In the interest of full disclosure, I have purchased several of the Nanos and habitat pieces shown. Hexbugs sent me additional building pieces and some extra Nanos for the purpose of review.

See mine, below.

In getting excited about the Yo Gabba Gabba Live show Party in My City, I finally posted Around the World with Muno (South Africa).

As you know I won a video contest to go on Safari, so we brought along my son’s Muno action figure to take pictures that he would be able to relate to, since this was the longest we had ever been apart. So I put the pics together into a little video that’s less than 2 and a half minutes. Check it out!

(And check out my Africa Travel Blog to see the HD footage of all the animals and sights we saw)

Be sure to check out all of our Yo Gabba Gabba coverage including videos, toy reviews, and more.
