Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
It’s Canada Day today. Most Canadians will be celebrating by drinking beer and watching fireworks and stalking the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Me, I’m celebrating by going off the grid. Well, going mostly off the gird. As little off the grid as I can manage. I am going to be clinging to the grid [...]
My computer gets up to no good sometimes. I can’t really stop it or control it; it’s like she (of course she’s a she) has a mind of her own and there are just some days and evenings and mornings and afternoons when she demands – demands – that we not work and before you [...]
So for a tech-related topic this week I was going to write about my favorite software, because that’s what some of my buddies over at the Intel Canada Facebook page are talking about, and it’s kind of an interesting subject, inasmuch as I like hearing what other people use to make their work lives and [...]
This weekend, we – we as in the whole fan-damily; moms and dads and uncles and aunts and cousins – are headed to Disney World. It’s Tanner’s wish-trip; the trip that brings his family together for a holiday and allows him to show his cousins around his favorite place in the world and that was [...]
A couple of months ago, I wrote this about the stuff that we love and why we love it: Here are some things that Jasper and Emilia love: crayons, art paper, paints, marshmallows, bubble wrap, trains, books, the iPhone, the iPad, video cameras, regular cameras, Toady, me, Kyle, the cats, skateboards, anything Disney, Scotch tape, [...]
One thing that bugs me about being a photographer is that at times people will see you holding a big DSLR with a fancy schmancy lens and they will say something along the lines of, “Wow. That camera must take great photos.” No, the photographer takes great photos. The camera equipment used does not need [...]
Excerpted from HBM… Jasper loves the iPhone. Jasper loves the iPhone a lot. Jasper loves the iPhone with a passion that exceeds my own, which is saying something, because it is only a slight exaggeration to say that I would save my iPhone before my husband if we were in a sinking raft (this was [...]
If you have an iPhone, chances are you take photos with it. (If you don’t have an iPhone, why not? It will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.) The cool thing about iPhone and its gazillion Apps is that there are a plethora (I love that word) of Apps that let you play with your photos right then [...]
Usually, when we talk about ‘bad dads’ around here, we’re talking about ‘bad dads’ in the same way that we talk about ‘bad moms’ – bad as in counter-traditionally good. But in this case, I’m talking about real bad dads who — if this iPhone app wasn’t actually fictional — would probably never physically see [...]
The more I think about it, the more I think being an adult makes me a chump and I need Tom Cruise to adopt me. Did I just say that I wanted one of the biggest whack jobs in Hollywood to become my legal guardian? Yes. Yes I did. Here’s why:
This is noteworthy? Really? That a two and a half year old can work an iPad? Have these people not seen a baby with an iPhone or iTouch? An iPad is like the super-sized, Pat The Bunny board book version of an iPhone. It’s huge. Of course a toddler can use it. A toddler could [...]
Almost every single one trip that I take ends with me whining ‘I didn’t take enough pictures.’ This road trip was no exception. Most of the time my failure to photograph is due to either being too shy / too self-conscious to just dive in and take the photo. I know, I’m a freak. It’s [...]
