This post does not contain any Doctor Who spoilers. Please read with confidence. I’ve recently become a fan of the BBC’s Doctor Who. Thanks to my wife encouraging me to watch it with her. We’ve worked our way through 7 of the relaunched seasons and have just started on the...

We are a one car family & each of us has a schedule to keep. That means lots of texting "Where are you?" Last month we found an app that makes it easier.
Disclosure: I’ve joined the Netflix #StreamTeam and have been compensated for writing this post. I love this time of the year. The visits with family, home cooked meals and travel plans are all a part of this wonderful yearly ritual. Christmas movies are often lumped into the list. Who hasn’t watched...
It is almost the end of January 2015 and I thought it would be appropriate to highlight some of the gear I'm using to help make my everyday life with a toddler better. These items are some of my favorite things since sliced bread. Seriously, each of these items make being a parent easier in their own way. Check out these six items and let me know if you've tried any of them yourself.
I love television and the access to laughs, tears and hope for the future that it gives me. Netflix builds on the awesomeness of TV and lets me take it whenever and pretty much wherever I want. Highlighted below you'll see some of the shows on Netflix that I just can't get enough of right now. What ones do you like most?
Our floors have never looked so good. Seriously. The scheduling thing is a life saver. Life is busy and always full of things to do. The iRobot Roomba 870 has been able to take care of our floors when we can't take care of them ourselves. Its available for purchase at Best Buy right now. Now that we have one in our home I can't imagine ever giving it up.
I grew up watching shows like Saved By The Bell, Star Trek: TNG and Godzilla among others. Thanks to Netflix I can rewatch most of it all over again!
It has been a long time since I've owned a Windows PC. When Best Buy asked me to take a look at the new AMD FX APU – HP Envy Touchsmart Laptop I was genuinely interested to see how Windows was doing these days. I have to admit, I wasn't ready for what a great computer this thing has turned out to be for me.
I’ve found a laundry solution that saves me a lot of time and has forever banished the need for the clothing sniff test in this house.
There are many kids shows to chose from on Netflix, but my toddler can't currently get enough of his favorites. Listed in no particular order are his 5 favorites as of right now. Not all are kids shows, but when he's got screen time these are the shows he requests regularly.
One of the choices I had to make early on as a Dad Blogger was how I would treat my writing and sharing of stories about my family. This isn’t a problem solely dealt with by parent bloggers. It is also an issue any parent who shares information online should think about.
My wife, son and I met up with my wife's mom at the county fair for the day last weekend. It's an annual tradition that normally brings a larger group of family together, but was enjoyable just the same. I brought the new LG G4 Smartphone with me and shot a little video watching my son observe and interact with the world around him.
The guys over at HowToBeADad have partnered up with the team at Kinsa for an IndieGoGo project every parent of...
I got married a week before YouTube launched and over a year before the first iPhone was released to the public. Let that sink in for a minute. My world in 2006 was just starting to use Facebook. Putting together a wedding registry on your own now is a monstrous undertaking. Best Buy, however, is making the wedding registry task easier than ever!
The Toshiba Satellite Radius™ 12 started from a dead power off to login screen in between 5-7 seconds in my unscientific tests. I love this PC.
We took a trip to San Francisco earlier this month and took a lot of photos. This is one of the shots I loved from the trip. Mr. Dude, our two-year-old, enjoyed our visit to the beach and was enthralled with the wet sand. This is a photo that I liked in color, but thought I'd use my desktop install of Photoshop to turn into black and white.
My wife and I signed up for a trial of Netflix during the winter storm that shut down most of Chicago for a couple of days back in 2011. We were snowed in, had plenty of food and wanted to try something new. Five years later we're still using Netflix to pass the time with or without snow on the ground.
