01 Alex was in his first baseball tournament this weekend
This was his first at bat in his first game
He tipped the ball and was hit in the face
He started to cry
The coach approached him to soothe and encourage
I had to hold back Esther from wanting to do the same
He hung in there and got a single
This moment is now etched in memory forever

Score one for all Husbands getting the Dangerfield treatment

“In married households, men now do more around the house than their wives give them credit for, according to a survey reported in the Journal of Marriage and Family.”

I knew it…I was lucky enough to hear this on NPR over the weekend. Just in time for Father’s day.

Full audio of the story available here

Warning: You may not want to gloat about this in your wife’s face as it can have a negative impact. In my case here’s the reponse I garnered. “Oh yea…go take out the trash and have fun spanking your own monkey tonight”.

So I used to be in the videogame biz several years ago having been employed by gamefan.com as director of development. Basically I managed a great team of developers, html / graphic artists and others and co-coordinated with the editorial team to build a custom content management system that powered the engine used to produce the site. I?m a casual gamer but I really enjoy following the biz.

Why I bought it: Well for me deciding on a new television was a very long and difficult process. The first decision I needed to make is whether I wanted a rear projection versus direct view or front projection. Then after I crossed that bridge I needed to decide which technology to go with…LCD, DLP, DiLA or various others. For me it was between LCD or DLP. After much viewing on showroom floors I decided to go with LCD. To me it’s a tossup between either technology and just boils down to personal preference. I found the LCD sets to be a bit sharper and since I usually decide between Sony or Mitsubishi it made the decision simple since Sony is in the LCD camp and Mits is in the DLP.
