Somehow, I’m my son’s little brother. Yesterday, I decided I could treat myself to a copy of Street Fighter IV. It’s a great game from what I’ve played so far, which isn’t much because my 2 year old kid thinks it’s a great game too. I made the mistake of handing him the [...]
Nick Jr. is the name for the little kids version of Nickelodeon. Nick Jr. is Dora the Explorer and Wonder Pets. These are the kind of shows that attract my kid.

There’s a news story out on a Canada-Netherlands study with the headline “Smoking During Pregnancy Fosters Aggression In Children”. Wait, I thought smoking during pregnancy caused low birth weigh, weak and deformed babies. Now they’re responsible for puny wimpy freaks with a mean streak? The article also mentions a few other risk factors for aggression in [...]
A comedian friend of mine and his wife friend of mine have an internet radio show called Unholy Matrimony. It’s a funny show and they’ve had some cool guests.
