When we first moved into our home, we had signed up for their Triple Play package, which included cable, internet, and phone for about $100/month for […]

Three Links
My mother came over today so that I can get some rest (but we all know the real reason she comes over is to see her precious granddaughter), but instead of doing what I was supposed to do — take a nap to relieve my body of the insomnia it has been suffering — I […]
My Favorite Week of the Summer
…is Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. I don’t particularly like the ocean, nor am I a very good swimmer. In fact, I have a ridiculous fear of most fish (yes, even goldfish!). But these majestic creatures have always fascinated me. I remember taking out tons of books on sharks from the library when I was a little […]
Anticipation & Expectations (Movie of the Year?)

How “Go the F**k to Sleep” Just Got a Million Times Better
Remember when I wrote about the book Go the F**k to Sleep? Well, it just got about a million times better. How so? Well, Audible.com has just released an audio version of the book… And it’s narrated by none other than… Samuel L. Jackson! Seriously. If you could have picked ONE person to read this book, […]
Going Cable-Free, the Geek Way
Late last year J and I made the decision to cancel our cable. Not because we had stopped watching TV, but because we were no longer watching our favorite shows as they air. Sure, the DVR that our cable company had provided was getting a lot of mileage, but we couldn’t ignore the fact that […]
