Don’t return anything to Amazon, or you might be banned
Wednesday, April 15, 2009
Hard to believe, but returning defective items to Amazon could get you banned. This poor guy who bought a Kindle now has a very expensive brick. Not that I could afford a Kindle, but I think I’ll stick with ripping audio books on CD to my phone.
Passing on Traits – The Good and the Bad
Friday, September 19, 2008
I had a fascinating experience recently when I introduced my five year old son to online role-playing games, specifically World of Warcraft. For the uninitiated, World of Warcraft is an online, Dungeons and Dragons, sword and sorcery type of game in which you play a character who can be human, dwarf, elf, etc. Since there [...]
Beware of Walmart’s Back to School lists
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Apparently Walmart (or at least Kelby Carr’s local Walmart) is providing back to school shopping lists that not only leave out items that the schools suggest (one can only assume they don’t stock them) but also include items that the school banned. Caveat emptor, for sure. Read more

“I got a little Jesus Christ-y”
Sunday, October 21, 2007
I have no idea what this means. Lawrence said it means he got a little funny. Figuring out their minds is a full-time job, I swear.
My son’s first engagement
Monday, October 15, 2007
Lawrence told me yesterday that he and his friend Ava are “getting married together” when they’re older.
“We’re rich!”
Friday, September 14, 2007
I was waiting in Lawrence’s room tonight, as he was supposed to go get his favorite stuffed animals, Monkey and Blue, when I heard him say, “We’re rich!” It took a few seconds for me to realize what in the world he was talking about. I had just brought out from the garage the gold-plated [...]
