Ben and I discuss the hottest toys coming for kids this holiday season. These are supposedly the toys you will have a hard time finding this year, from psychic warfare games to robotic hamsters, this is the place to hear about them. We also talk a bit about the First Lego League – a robotics competition, as well as not camping in the rain.

This is my commentary of the last 1:30 of the game against the Steelers. If they were going to win, I wanted to record it. If they lost, I was going to delete it. BTW, I know there is not a shot clock in football. Heat of the moment. Enjoy.

The right call

Tonight I was supposed to take Ben camping with the scouts. ‘Supposed to’ meaning we ended up not going. It is Cub-O-Ree in our district where the entire pack, regardless of age, goes camping. It ends up being a ton of kids running & screaming through the campsite, tripping over tent lines, and causing stress for the adult scout leaders. Utter chaos. We had a forecast for rain all day and all night, so I was leery to go just for an overnight trip and get wet. When the skies cleared today & the sun was blinding, I thought I had made a mistake staying home. Ugh, what a disappointment. We missed out on camping and having some good father-son time. Now, as I sit here writing this, the torrential rain, thunder, lightning, hail, & high wind make me realize that for once, I made the right call.

Fantasy Football Setup

Here’s my fantasy football setup for NFL sundays. iMac 24″ with an Elagato EyeTV Hybrid for watching live games. The secondary monitor has twitter, my live fantasy football scores, and ESPN gamecast so I can monitor my players on my team.
