Why Technology Keeps Blowing Me Away: Pearl Jam Covering Pink Floyd’s "Mother"
As I keep moving through my career I’m continuously encountering new technology trends in terms of getting media, thoughts and images to the public in new ways. If you’re a working journalist today you have to be using these tools to stay atop your field. As a busy dad, and avid Pearl Jam fan, I can’t focus every second on my hobby. When I have a spare moment when the kids are running around the local YMCA’s indoor maze I can sit and play on my iphone for a few moments. That’s when I finally had a few minutes to...

How Daddy is Like Green Lantern
Disclaimer: I haven’t seen the new ‘Green Lantern’ movie and I probably won’t until it’s on HBO, like every other movie that’s come out for the past three+ years since Carter was born. But I read the comics and know Ryan Reynolds stars as the iconic Hal Jordon. Reynolds is also taking up the charge to promote Nissan’s all-electric Nissan Leaf. Get it? Charge? Well as many of you know I’ve been driving a Leaf my company purchased as a long-term test car months ago. Do I feel like a green superhero when it’s plugged into my two-car garage, wedged...

The Kids Are Moving Too Fast
A lot of times, all the time actually, folks tell me to enjoy the kids because they’ll "grow up so fast." I don’t know how many times I’ve heard that in the three and a half years since Carter was born. Even when I’m out of town for just a few days the two kids seem bigger in size, more articulate with language and just plain cuter then when I left. So I guess that saying is apt. But this spring and summer there has definitely been a huge change. I haven’t really noticed a big growth spurt but Carter... Continue reading

When do the annoying toys end?
Saturday I took Carter to the toy store to pick up a reward for potty training. Yep, the boy is pooping without incident for about a month now (knock on wood). We have a little chart and every time he poops he gets a new sticker for the chart. At the end of filling the chart Carter gets a prize. He has been pouring over the new Chuggington catalog (he reads them, and makes us read them to him too) for a few weeks and wanted the Musical Car that plays the Chuggington theme song music, sans lyrics. We took... Continue reading

I Like Ukulele Songs…Kind Of
I’m not going to review Eddie Vedder’s new solo record, Ukulele Songs, featuring the above song, a version of the Pearl Jam track "Can’t Keep". The video actually sounds like the audio was recorded right there on the rocks but I don’t see any mic. Can anyone help me out with that? Anyway, one reason I didn’t cry after being shut out of the Eddie Vedder shows later this month in Chicago was because I figured it would be heavy on the Uke. For a record it’s a neat idea, shelling out $300+ for seats via StubHub or Craigslist…probably not.... Continue reading
