With a focus on sustainable eating.
Most of my K-12 eduction was in Portland, Oregon where there was a lot of rain. Seriously, a lot. The nearest beach was a good couple hour drive and when you arrived there it was rocky and the wind would blow away any object you put on the sand that was less than 20 pounds. [...]
I was reading an interview with food author Michael Pollan earlier today. He did an interview with Grub Street NY as part of the promotional tour for his new book Cooked. The interview talked a lot about Pollan’s experience with food through his family and mostly from his mother. This got me thinking about my [...]
It’s imagination like this that makes me want to be more child-like. Theo had an assignment today at school to share what he would buy with a $100. Admittedly, it is a bit of an odd assignment. I don’t like the commercialism of the task or the idea that it takes money to have a [...]
I hate — emphasis on hate — games that use In-App Purchases (IAPs) especially games targeted at small children. It’s been a vicious sneaky way for app developers to make some big money before parents wise up to what is going on while an innocent child doesn’t fully understand what they are doing to mom [...]
Our son Theo told us about a year ago that he wants to be a “robot builder” and race car driver, when he is not building robots. Oscar decided to join in the idea too. Fortunately, our move to California br0ught us a 10 minute drive to a Rolling Robots store where robot building can [...]
Some of you know I’m in the process of moving from Dallas to Los Angeles after leaving my role as the Executive Director of Digital & Social Media at AT&T. I have since started a new job at the PR agency GolinHarris where I am currently leading Digital for the Western Region. This new change [...]
I have been a Black Keys fan since Thickfreakness. I first learned about the band from a Mississippi Blues documentary I caught back in 2002 or 2003 on IFC channel. Their raw, blues inspired sound was so different than anything else at the time. Fortunately, I also did some business travel back then and spent [...]
No surprise to anyone who knows us or reads this blog regularly, but we rarely have the boys buy lunch from the school cafeteria. This is great in so many ways: #1: We control what our kids eat, not some school lunch meal planner. #2: I think it’s cheaper though doubtful with all the organic [...]
There is pretty simple voting system when it comes to trying new food in our house. Our identical twin boys Oscar and Theo do their best Siskel & Ebert impressions. Instead of a dull thumbs up or thumbs down they add their own twist. Basically there are three votes: Yummy: Thumbs up. Yucky: Thumbs down. [...]
We spent the Thanksgiving holiday in San Antonio. It’s a great city to visit if you have children. Thanksgiving Day we ventured to The Alamo in the morning and later went to Sea World, since they opened late that day at noon. The next day we walked along the city’s River Walk and later did [...]
