To my disappointment, Lego marketers knew what they were doing
As a kid, I was a huge Legos fan. I would spend hours building spaceships, cars, buildings, airplanes, and anything else I could imagine. Back in those days, each set of Legos came with instructions for three or four different … Continue reading
Underwriting on NPR finally pays off for Ally Bank – I’m dumping E-Trade Bank and opening an account
Since today is Valentine’s Day, it’s appropriate that I am making a big relationship change – I’m dumping my old bank and opening an account with Ally. Ally has been chasing me for years now. I’m a huge NPR podcast … Continue reading
Shortcut: Toddler won’t wear mittens? Put socks on his hands
Everyone knows the phrase “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” That pretty much sums up my son’s relationship to gloves. He absolutely refuses to wear them. We’ve tried mittens, and we’ve tried gloves, … Continue reading
Getting Apple earbuds to stay in your ears
I am intensely curious… just who did Apple design earbuds for? Like most Apple products, they are a combination of minimalist beauty and excellent functionality, but as far as I can tell, they weren’t designed for humans. Or at least … Continue reading
Being a packrat finally pays off after 16 years

A child’s menorah should not be flammable
Well, really no menorah should be flammable, but that’s besides the point. A week ago, my four-year-old daughter proudly brought home a menorah (or more correctly, hanukkiah) she had made at the Jewish after-school program she attends a few days … Continue reading
Solved: IE encounters ERROR_INTERNET_INCORRECT_HANDLE_STATE when opening a popup window
One of our engineers asked me to take a look at a bizarre problem in an application. When accessing the application using IE8, they would click a link that opens a popup window. Rather than the popup window loading, the … Continue reading
Word to the wise: pick a child’s lovey based on your ability to see it in the dark
Like all good parents, we started manipulating our children when they were just newborns. For each of our kids, we introduced them to a lovey when they were just a few months old. They became so used to having these … Continue reading
Laptops are not very portable, so go buy an iPad mini
A week ago, I received my iPad mini. I do have to say that I love it, which probably isn’t too surprising if you read my other posts. What surprised me was just how much I love it. I decided to … Continue reading
