We were woken up this morning by the tannoy announcement that we would soon be crossing the arctic circle again, so it was a quick shower followed by a quick rush on to the deck to see us leave the arctic behind. We look all around to try and see the arctic circle but of course [...]
Hugo is our beautiful little Scottish Fold kitten … After arriving in Dubai with his brother last week we went and picked him up from the Cattery last night and I negotiated a day working from home to be sure that he settled in ok … On a slightly side note we are also getting [...]
I have a fairly large extended family. For the most part, our current clan originated in Wichita, Kansas, but through the power invested in marriages, divorces, job transfers and time, we have been strewn out across the country over the years. You’ll now find pushpins in our family map everywhere from the Florida Keys to [...]
How many times have you felt the impulse to leave a comment on an article or blog but then thought better of it and moved on? Whether the piece is sheer brilliance or more internet garbage, there is almost always a section where readers can leave comments (often referred to as a combox). I have [...]
Blast those nincompoops who told us, as children, that gardening is as simple as dropping a seed in a hole and splashing it with water. Maybe that’s the case in the Northwest, but here in Texas it’s just not that simple…especially when you’re talking about seed starting. Heath’s been itching to start gardening from seeds [...]
Guys. I hate this question. How am I supposed to answer something so broad, so ambiguous? There are so many wonderful movies out there that make my heart soar/sing/pitter-patter/explode/something. But I know this question will inevitably come up every time I say, “Oh yeah, I’m a big ‘film’ person.” Even, “Oh yeah, I like m […]

I love when things just fall into your lap. A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine decided she wanted to take self-defense classes and the general Facebook consensus was that you just couldn’t beat Krav Maga. It’s an Israeli self-defense system that’s boasted as being one of the most “battle-tested” and highly used [...]
So we left off in the southwest of Switzerland. I arrived in Champery by a small train that went along the cliff side. It is amazing how scenic everything is in Switzerland. It is such a beautiful country. Champery is home to a World Cup track. I walked on some of it, and I have [...]
This was at Goldsmith Hall in Westminister, a beautiful venue where a number of shows were held this week.

The models’ super high gloss red [...]

Combining fast-paced first-person shooting with a Diablo-like loot system and the deep character customization of a role-playing game, Gearbox's Borderlands was a surprisingly sophisticated modernization of Doom-era kill-everything-you-see mayhem, and one of 2009's most memorable titles. It got even...
Today, publisher Atlus announced plans to bring Persona 4 Arena to the United States. Previously titled Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena, this 2D fighter was teased last week by Atlus. Persona 4 Arena features characters from both Persona 3 and Persona 4 -- popular Japanese role-playing games with an eccentric sense of style and even wilder narrativ […]
If you're tired of killing aliens, zombies and/or Russian terrorists, then Binary Domain just might be for you.

Late last week, I was fortunate to chat with Sony Computer Entertainment America's CEO and President Jack Tretton. While he did talk to me a bit about Sony's next possible console -- that a PlayStation 4 reveal in 2012 would "distract" him -- our conversation otherwise (and not surprisingly) revolved almost entirely around the PlayStation […]
Every Tuesday, Sony drops a bunch of new stuff onto the PlayStation Network. Those with a PlayStataion 3, Vita or PSP can download these goodies, which include PSN games, movies, themes and more. While the Official PlayStation Blog outlines these updates in full each week, we thought we'd help truncate the good news into something more digestible...

Advertise here with BSACombining different realities in photography has always been a fascination of mine. The techniques to master the skill are hard to obtain and quite time consuming. But for those who perfect this, it is one of the most creative art forms in the digital age. Ted Talks had artist Erik Johansson do a six minute discussion on his techniques […]
Advertise here with BSAI am not much of a coffee drinker, I have to admit. However, when I drink coffee, I mostly drink a latte. Some people don’t even call it coffee since it has so much milk in it. But that doesn’t keep me from being impressed when someone tells me they have created something based on coffee. Well, maybe I am skipping too much […]
Advertise here with BSAWhen things start to get really advanced in technology, it can sometimes be hard to understand exactly what it is that our gadgets do. Well, of course we know what they will do, but understanding how they work and how things are accomplished within the mechanics are not always so clear. Some people strive to understand their gadgets, a […]
Advertise here with BSAWhen you think of your dream home, what are some of the features you would want? That’s probably too broad a question since I can think of at least thirty custom features I would want in my dream home. How about your bedroom? If you could have a designer come into your home and make your bedroom look however you want, what would […]
Advertise here with BSAOut of all the William and Kate memorabilia we’ve written about before, this is definitely my favorite. I know that Mattel, the toy company, is just trying to make a buck off the royal “1st wedding anniversary,” but that doesn’t take away from how well done these Barbie dolls are. Each one is strikingly like the […]
Advertise here with BSAI have such a love hate relationship with email. I went through a time about a year ago when I’d go days without checking it because it was so annoying to me. People starting using Twitter DM and Facebook messaging to get in touch with me since email wasn’t a fast option. Since then, I’ve come to accept that email is […]
Advertise here with BSAI don’t know about you, but there were two pieces of technology on the Jetsons that used to make me drool: flying cars and video calls – although now, as an adult, Rosie-the-robot maid sounds pretty good too! While I don’t have a flying car, maybe I don’t need one since I can have “face-time” almost […]
Advertise here with BSAAlright, let’s state it again, shall we? There is a sea of iPhone cases out there, and there are new ones being introduced to us every day. They are becoming quite technological as well, if you know what I mean. Their purpose is not only to personalize your iPhone, but also to actually add something to it, such as a feature not […]
Advertise here with BSAIf I said that today sometime you would wear a pair of headphones, there is a great chance that I would be spot on, right? The fact is that pretty much everyone in the civilized world uses headphones on a daily basis. It could be the headphones for your iPhone or iPod or even your headphones at work to answer calls. Yeah, we use pretty […]
Advertise here with BSAIf you love retro arcade games from the ’80s like we do, you are going to enjoy this for sure. For a lot of us, playing those games when we were growing up was a huge part of our childhood, and seeing each game brings back a whole flood of special memories. Even today I have a full size arcade game in my house. It takes quarters […]
