People get curious about pregnancy. Even with complete strangers, people feel entitled to ask questions. “When are you due?” “Is this your first?” “Do you know what you are having?” For us guys, we miss out on these moments. No one cares that we didn’t sleep well, or that we have horrible gas, or that we huff and puff when we walk up the stairs. They don’t care because we aren’t carrying the kid.
But pregnancy is as big of a deal for you as it is for her. Sometimes, when we are at work, we feel compelled to tell stories and share items of information about the pregnancy that we probably should not share. There are some things that should be between you and her.

Running your own poker tournament can be a lot of fun, but if you do not think it through, it can be a real drag. This is the second article in my poker at home series. This time we are talking about how to run a rebuy tournament. A rebuy tourney allows people to get more chips when they run out. This means that people who lose all of their chips can get more chips and keep playing. The great thing about this method is that you can do it on a work night. I have learned a lot about hosting poker games since I wrote the last installment so I’ll try to impart all of this “wisdom” here.

Greg "Noodad" Ng is in line in Franklin, MA waiting for his coveted iPhone. Not since Wii-mania have I seen him so excited. He has been out there since 6:00PM yesterday and to be honest, he looks like shit! You can follow his adventure as iphonematters.com. This is one of his funniest stunts yet. He has been posting about every hour so be sure to check them all out.
Will Noodad and friends get their iPhones? Will Taco Bell come to their senses and get some (near) free advertising? Will the mosquitos suck out all of Noodad's blood? You will have to go to iPhone Matters to find out.

Kids from the smallest babies up until the day you evict them from the house go through stages. In the early years, these stages can be very quick and can changeaspects of (or even their entire) personality. For example: when you get your kid on solid foods, you may notice that at first, they enjoy just about everything you put in front of them.They are trying new things and defining their little personal tastes for foods. As the weeks go on, some of the things they previously would eat may be spat-back-atcha or in the case of older kids, just sit on their plates.The amount of food they eat may also change based on whether or not they are having a growth spurt. Their little bodies will tell them how much they need. Don't force it on them, just make sure you get them a square meal.
Remember when the Brady kids were just about to get their big break and all of a suddenly Peter's voice cracked and made him sound like a dying goat? Remember how Greg was there to save the day with a witty song that turned Peter's newfound weakness into a blockbuster smash that drove the producers wild? This is nothing like that. Let's take a minute to think about Marcia. Mmmmm…. Marcia…. Ok so what were we talking about? Oh yeah. Changes!

Whether for moral or religious reasons, vegetarianism is here to stay. And even for the once die hard carnivores, watching Super Size Me or reading Fast Food Nation might just move you over to the veggie side. Finally, with the popularity rising with healthier food stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, it is easier and easier to be a healthy vegetarian.
Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a die hard meat eater to the bone (pun intended). My theory is that if we weren't supposed to eat meat, God wouldn't have given man the intelligence to make a spear and the ability to throw it. But regardless of your own personal decisions, vegetarianism can be a way of life, not just a preference.

This Christmas, my wife and I bought my 4 year old daughter her first real camera, The Kid Tough Digital Camera from Fisher Price . After a week of solid play, all 3 of us could not be happier.
The Kid Tough Camera makes it easier for kids to take digital pictures. It sports everything your kid will want in a digital photography experience: instant gratification via a color screen, gender stereotypical colors with its masculine blue or feminine pink exterior, and simple 4-button interface.
The screen is a low resolution screen but it shows your kid enough quality for them to recognize they just captured a moment. By using large icons on the screen your kid can easily pick up the directions even if they can't read yet.

This article was originally published in April 2006.
Sniffing butts…it's not just for dogs anymore. It is also for parents. For you soon-to-be dads out there, you will get to the prime butt-sniffing point in your parenting career very shortly. See, when you are in a public place and there are other kids in the room, you need to quickly figure out whether your kid is the one stinking up the joint. The quickest way to do that is to grab your kid, hold them up to the sky, shove your schnoz into their butt, and take a big sniff.
I find myself getting a good butt sniff at least 3 times a day. I don't enjoy it, but I certainly won't trade it for the other options. When my daughter was first born, I got self-conscious about sniffing her butt in public so I always either did the side sneak peek or paid the price with a leaky diaper.

Kids can be kids which means sometimes, no matter how peaceful you think you may be, you want to just pound the hell out of them. They know, better than anybody, how to get under your skin. They know how to piss you off and then piss you off even more.
I used to get spanked. I don't think it ever really hurt, it was more the sting of being struck that did damage. But some of my friends speak of getting a literal lashing or belt whipping growing up. These dudes all grew up to be normal people with no serious development or social skill shortcomings.
