Busytown Mysteries!
When I was approached to review the Richard Scarry’s Busytown Mysteries I was a bit unsure. Unlike most everyone my exposure to the series was very little. Stop looking so surprised, you know I did not grow up here so the television shows you are all used to I am not. But then again it is not like I have never heard of the series. A while back I saw a special of Richard Scarry

My Curious George Party (And Win The DVD Too)! #AVeryMonkeyChristmas
When I was approached to host a Curious George screening for “A Very Monkey Christmas“.party I totally flipped. Curious George is not only a favorite show with my kids but mine too. Sometimes they dawdle off to their room and I stay rooted in front of the television to see what George will do. Now that either means he is so enjoyable to watch or I lead a sad life!

Friday 5: 5 Ways To Annoy A Blogger!
Dang, is it Friday already? How did that happen? I feel like I was just late yesterday writing my Friday 5, but here I am again, not really late but not as early as I promise myself every week.

Look except for crying and pooping I REALLY wanted to know that they could do more. So like the engineer in me I needed to know what to expect. Turns out in between all that pooping and crying they do manage to do some learning, granted it is hard to notice in between all those diaper changes.

Got Content? Meet Joe Pulizzi, Author of Get Content Get Customers
Is blogging a people’s movement? Do you think bloggers can topple corporations (maybe even governments)? I don’t view blogging as separate from individuals to corporations to governments.  Blogging as a tool can be powerful with all three groups.  Inherently, blogging today means that everyone can be publishers in five minutes.  The challenging part, for any blogger, is making sure that the content is valuable, relevant and compelling to the niche being targeted. I see some maturity evolving out of blogs. What kind of careers do you see spawning out of this? For years now, bloggers have developed their own media outlets, such as Brian Cla
