I was asking Chrissy about whether or not Aiden had his bath, since I usually give him a bath but he was already in bed. Chrissy said yes, but it was a quick one because he pulled the last toy out early. I thought this was very funny, since I had come up with the term “the last toy” when we first started giving Aiden...

Now that I’ve beat half of the Transformers Movie game, I’ve been revisiting the different areas that I’ve already beaten. There are several areas to explore: the suburbs, the Hoover Dam, and the city. There are six chapters in each storyline, and each area comprises two chapters. You can go back to each chapter to...

The difference is that Dungeon Keeper was a realtime...

I wanted to go back over some comments that I had made about the Transformers movie character, Jazz. The leaked image of Jazz was a very early draft of his movie form, and actually doesn’t look much at all like what was shown in the movie. It was the first of the movie designs to get leaked to the public, and in retrospect,...

Every year, Chrissy and I make it a point to go to the Taste of Chicago for a chocolate-covered strawberry. It’s a tradition that has held up since we were first dating, eight years ago. It now includes a slice of Eli’s cheesecake on a stick and cheesy garlic bread, so it’s an evolving tradition. This year,...
