Finding Yourself

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

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

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

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

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

  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, […]

The Best We Can Hope For (VIDEO)

  It’s easy to dismiss kids and their amazing imaginations. Sometimes they are off in the stratosphere when it comes to reality. But isn’t that something we want to encourage to some degree? If we can ground our kids in the nature of what is real, but give their dreams, and not their nightmares, the […]



Kid or Dog: Which is harder to raise?

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY, SNAPSHOTS

Comedy writer Rob Fee poses the question: which is harder to raise, a kid or a dog? Since we love making odd comparisons ourselves, between human offspring and other unlikely things (like Zombie vs. Baby), I had to put his question to you and present his eye-opening analysis. And also because it’s really friggin’ funny! […]



30 Years of Walt Disney Logos

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

Back in 1985, a movie came out called “The Black Cauldron.” It marked the first time Walt Disney logo was added before their films. You’re probably familiar with this one… But what happened after that was an evolution in thematic concepts and it was pretty cool. Some of them are better than others, but it […]
