    ·

    I’m not exactly sure what Google has in store, but they’ve released a Santa Tracker app. As I understand it, each day Google will release a new module which will use games and videos to teach kids some basic programming skills. Of course, from a kids perspective they’re just playing games and tracking Santa. I’m…

    The other day I was hanging out with my 2 year old Crash Kid. While I was sitting there with him, he looked up at the TV to realize that Curious George had been paused. Turns out we were streaming Curious George from Netflix through our Google Chromecast(Side Note: I love the Chromecast!) on to…

  • Black Friday and My Love of Gift Giving

    ·

    I went shopping on Black Friday and loved it. Seriously, that’s a really amazing thing. First, I’m not a fan of shopping. I’m all about efficiency. Shopping is the opposite of efficiency to me. At least the way that most people do shopping. If I need something, I have no problem going in and getting…

  • Not So Subtle Hints

    ·

    As most of you know, I work from home. As a solo entrepreneur, I often bounce work ideas off my wife. It’s just nice to have someone to bounce thoughts off of even if she really doesn’t know my business. Luckily, my wife is a great listener. I just went out of my office to…

  • 4 Conferences in 4 Cities in 4 Weeks

    ·

    Yes, that’s been my schedule the past 4 weeks. Plus, it’s been made harder since I’ve come back to Vegas in between the 3 conferences that were away (San Antonio, Orlando, and New York City) for those keeping track at home. I have a sincere love-hate relationship with traveling. I prefer to say that I…

  • All About That Bass Parodies

    ·

    I was working on Facebook today. Ok, I was probably avoiding work while I was on Facebook, but it’s nice that Facebook is part of my work, so it’s kind of like working. Plus, now that I’m posting something from my “work” on Facebook, then I guess it officially makes it work without the quotes,…

  • My Son Actually Listened

    ·

    The other day, I asked my 10 year old Crash Son to take a shower. He listened. He didn’t talk back. He didn’t question me. He didn’t yell. He didn’t say he didn’t want to do it. He just did it! Wow! Is this a preview of coming attractions? Of course, we were planning a…

    ·

    I’m sure that you regular readers (8 of you subscribed to the Crash Dad email list) are eagerly awaiting the results of the 5k I ran. You’ll remember that I ambitiously hoped to run a 7 minute mile. I figured it’s time to own up and report on the experience. What can I say? I…

  • Halloween Leftovers

    I’ve been meaning to write this Halloween post for a few days now, but life has been busy. What can I say? I never told you that this blog would be timely. In fact, my main goal is for this blog to be interesting. I plan to ask my wife and my mother if they…

  • The 7 Minute Mile Challenge

    ·

    My wife has been running a lot lately. It’s been a great thing for her. I think she’s like most people. She hates doing it, but loves when she’s done it. I’m not much of a runner. I’d much rather play sports. Sports of any kind is great, but ultimate frisbee is my sport of…
