There needs to be
yeahhappy: a cooking/reality show where fancy shmancy chefs make their fancy shmancy food while a sick 7 year old is crying/whining for medicine and a 2 1/2 year old is yelling/crying that she doesn’t want to eat what they are putting in the oven, but rather wants it COLD.  Have those fancy shmancy chefs compete against a parent. Top Chef fo’ real. I would watch that. I’d watch...

Online Storage?
jamieboogies: I know folks may have asked this before, but what is your favorite online storage service? Carbonite? Mozy? Crash Plan? Something else? (I’m looking to give a year’s worth of online storage as a gift to my folks.) Thanks for the feedback so far. Just as a clarification, I should have written online backup, not storage. My folks already use Dropbox for online storage.

New iOS game app →
I find it a bit buggy (which hopefully future updates will fix), and the primary card game is not intuitive. But my colleagues and I contributed to the content in the app, and it’s got a good matching game for younger kids. Also it’s free and worth checking out.

announcing, today, an internet: Occupy My Shoes →
yodelmachine: If you’re a little unclear about Occupy Wall Street and what the hell all this hubbub is about, please read this. The whole thing. It’s great. If you’re pretty clear on Occupy Wall Street and think it’s great but aren’t sure how to explain to your friends and family what it is and why you support…

Mustaches
Okay. I’ve got to confess. Most of them creep me out. Except for the handle bar ones. Those I find amusing.  Oh, and the one sported by Teddy Roosevelt was iconic, so I don’t mind his either.
