Off Pocket – A privacy case for mobile phones (better than being turned off?)
Editor-at-Large, T.R., pointed out this link to me yesterday and though I still need to research it AND the device apparently isn’t even available for purchase yet, I really liked it and figured I would share it today. OFF Pocket™ is basically akin to an EMP case for your cell phone in that once inside…

If I Could Only Follow One Person On Pinterest… It Would Be MomWithAPrep
I’m such a HUGE fan of Pinterest these days… there’s so much to see yet so little time! Strangely, I had an email the other day that had basically asked me about Pinterest and who would be a good person to follow. My immediate response was “you mean somebody besides my boards?” Because, after all,…

Our 30 Acts of Kindness Recap – How About You?
Yesterday I mentioned that we were going to do a “random” act of kindness day which was inspired by a person wanting to celebrate her 38th birthday a while back (here’s a link to her original article).

Remember That Today is “Random Act of Kindness” Day – Give it a Shot!
A few days ago I mentioned that my family and I are doing a random act of kindness day today. Normally, this isn’t something I would ever willfully do on my own–this is just one of many reasons why I’m better off married to my wife–and since we’re about to head out on the town…

So I Was Looking for a Copy of Moby Dick Online…
A month or so ago I was looking for a copy of Moby Dick as I had never read it (I think it was mentioned in a movie I watched) and I thought to myself “hey, self, you should read that” and then I thought “hey… I should read other classics too!” I used to…

I Don’t Need That, I Don’t Need That… I Don’t Need That Either…
The other day I ALMOST had to make a trip to Wally World to get a new pair of clippers to shave the boys heads because the old one didn’t seem to want to work at first. Fortunately, we got it functioning–barely–but probably need to replace it in the near future. Regardless, in the interim…

The Illusion of Knowledge Could Get You Killed!
A few weeks ago I watched an episode of Brain Games–a television show on the National Geographic Channel–that challenges how you think and attempts to show you how your brain really works. I can say that I thoroughly enjoy the series and look forward to new episodes each week. Anyway, this particular episode (I think it…
