How I Shave…
Recently, my son has been pretending to shave during bath time. It’s kinda blowing my mind. I remember those days as a boy when I realized I would one day have hair on my face. And now that my facial hair has taken over my mug, the concept has arrived in my son’s mind. He’s […]
Finding Yourself
When you have a child there is a unique, physical connection that is almost impossible to put into words. Whether you’ve even met your baby or not, it’s there. In the air. In the ether. Somehow we feel it. And they feel us. But just how much? Though this video is an ad, it’s got […]
Every Reaction to the New Star Wars Trailer
Our childhoods came crashing down on us yesterday when the trailer for the new Star Wars film came out. I literally screamed out like a kid in front of coworkers in a meeting. I couldn’t help myself. After the painful trauma of the second set of three films (cue Jar Jar Binks falling off a […]
Maximumble: Hot Tails
Sometimes, we tell our kids things for the sake of humor or because we don’t know. It’s kind of fun to re-imagine things and tell a story to our kids. But I’ve had it backfire on me. My brother, for example, tells me that I told him a story growing up about mayonnaise. Apparently, […]

No More Instructional Diagrams, Folks
Those that know Andy personally are very familiar with his bombastic personality, but only a select few are aware of how terrible he is at martial arts.

30 Years of Walt Disney Logos
Back in 1985, a movie came out called “The Black Cauldron.” It marked the first time Walt Disney logo was added before their films.
