Tossing Toddlers
No comment on this one. Some people shouldn't be allowed to have offspring. BMWK am I wrong on this one. I think it's a stupid move and real funny until somebody gets dropped on their head. What do you think? Is Child Family Services needed here? … [Read more...]

Dealing With The In-Laws
On the way home yesterday I was flipping through the radio dial as I normally do and ran across Monique's radio show.

It was a good tribute, it's nice to see … [Read more...]

It's set to be released in November. TheMom and I will … [Read more...]

Microsoft Works To Expose DigiGirlz To Technology
A little ways back I got an email explaining a program that Microsoft was running in DC that focused on exposing young girls to technology. The email asked if I'd be interested in stopping by firsthand to see the program and to speak with some of the participants on behalf of BMWK. I accepted and was impressed with what I saw. The program is called Digigirlz and is composed … [Read more...]
