In March my wife and I had a boy, Eli Swift Kyle. Being a dad has been awesome, and I am finally getting back into the swing of everything. So you can expect to see some more stuff posted here and some new art coming to the site very soon.

It was this post by my friend Jeff Excell (who has never steered me wrong on a music recommendation yet), that prompted me to order Unicorn Dream Attack’s album Love Bits.

Lately this has been one of my favorite albums to blast on headphones while I am working or in the car when I am driving. It is one of those albums that you just can’t fully appreciate on tiny speakers. So, plug the headphones in, turn up the bass, and enjoy.

The Rawr! bear shirt was featured on the front page of Rumplo.com. I feel really honored to have made the front page, of a site I have so much respect for. Big thanks! to whomever made the decision to put me up there.

Rawr! and Grrr! are (finally) in stock and ready to ship. You should probably order now. Seriously.

My friend Judy at hey cupcake! makes the best cupcakes I have ever had in my whole life! My wife and I even had her make cupcakes for our wedding instead of a cake. Want to see some of her beautiful and delicious cupcakes check out her website. Or her flickr photos here

These are not for sale. Just thought some of you might like to see the team shirt for “The Robotic Tacos”. “The Robotic Tacos” are the LEGO robotics team that I am coaching. They are 7th and 8th graders who are going to a robotics competition early tomorrow morning. I can’t wait to see the crushed looks on their faces when we get stomped. It’s too bad that there is not a “coolest team” prize though, cause I am confident that my kids would win, seriously, you can’t even imagine how proud I was when they picked their team name (without any help from me).

This is my favorite find so far. I’m surprised that this guy realized the contraption on top of the van was a camera in time to strike such a photo-worthy pose.
