Aiden’s first birthday party was on Saturday. The weather turned out to be agreeable, 75 degrees with slight clouds, so we put tents up in the backyard for the event. Predictably, we went with a Transformers theme, and Chrissy went all out on the party favors. Everything had Transformers on it: plates, tablecloths, napkins,...

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,...

Chrissy and I planned to head out to Cape Cod on Saturday. I only wanted to get an autograph or two from Peter Cullen before we jumped in the car. Somehow, the alarm clock was reset to one hour later, so we ended up in the autograph line at 7:30 AM instead of 8:30 AM. I didn’t mind so much, but Chrissy was clearly grumpy...

Maybe somebody who isn’t on our holiday mailing list would like to know what we were up to this year? Click “Continue Reading” to read the 2006 Christmas Letter. Meow Meow...

I saw the new trailer for the Simpsons Movie during tonight’s episode of the Simpsons. I was very disappointed that its going to be a regular 2-D cartoon. You would think that their first movie, which some fans have waited 16 years to see, would have more effort put into it. If the movie is only going to amount to a two-hour...

Chrissy and I sat in line to meet Peter Cullen today. He signed my Hard Hero bust of Optimus Prime three times: once on the box, once on the front of the statue, and once on the back of the statue (because he screwed up the signature on the front). And then the silver ink didn’t dry very quickly, so I managed to put my thumb...
