If you’re a New Yorker or a viewer of The Today Show, you know who Len Berman is. For those who aren’t, he’s the evening sports anchor on WNBC. He also goes national, doing those amusing “Spanning the World” segments on Today. Of course, I am old enough to remember when these were the “Albert Achievement Awards”, but let’s [...]

Dirty-Talkin’ Elmo
This was IT Boy’s favorite Christmas present. When he unwrapped it the morning of the 25th and saw it was Elmo, he freaked out. Mr. IT had to struggle to get it out of the package so he could play with it immediately. One of the features of the toy is that it records a voice mail [...]

Announcing the NEW Dummies.com!
One of the work projects that I have been involved with for a *long* time has finally been revealed. Yesterday was the long awaited date for the relaunch of Dummies.com. For years, Dummies.com had been a catalog site, listing titles well and showcasing some content, but not doing much else.

It ain’t easy being green
It’s probably the best kept secret at my company that I work with not just the technology books but with architecture and engineering titles as well. It’s not a list that I’m an expert in, but I’m trying to learn more about it. As such, tomorrow I am going to Boston for the day to [...]

Spatial Relations
Recently, I was reading NY Times columnist Lisa Belkin’s blog post about the Motrin controversy when I saw that her subsequent blog entry was on the news that the Pregnant Man is preggers yet again. Having an incredibly hard time understanding his first pregnancy, I figured I’d read it in hopes of answering some of the Girl’s questions on the matter.
