Episode 63 – A New Blender

We find ourselves heading into a whole new blender and discuss it a bit.
Announcements

News

Main Topic

  • Our future plans – Another blend?!? Shut the front door!
    • Because of the economy and recent events, we are going to be moving in with the Rossi family after our house sells. It benefits both our families tremendously, beyond the financial aspect. We also have another roomie moving in, and with the full count at 6 adults, 2 small children, 3 dogs, 3 cats and one fish, we are finding ourselves in another new realm to adjust to. Far improved from the empty nest, and with ample room for our sons to visit whenever they like.
    • Phil Rossi

Solid Nuggets

  • Viv teases, but does not really discuss.  More on the next episode, but in case you find it useful now…
  • Chooch
    • Google Music
    • Tell Viv why she should ditch Android for an iPhone

Episode 25 – The Holidays

Yay new cast! Oh wait, that’s not my job 🙂

We are happy to bring you this December cast about our Holidays and what all we’ve been up to since last time.

Correction: In the episode Chooch gives his GMail account as the name to add as a PS3 buddy. Actually, the name is “choochus2”. And for some reason, PS3 is case sensitive, so all lower case 🙂

In this ep we discuss:

  • Our Thanksgiving(s)
  • LotR marathon fail
  • Chooch’s trip to California
  • Christmas
  • Nephews over
  • Video games.. and more video games
  • Little Big Planet (speaking of video games 🙂
  • Last years resolutions and looking forward to 2009

Episode 5 – Game and Movie sites for parents

This week we talk about some game and movie resources for parents that give in-depth reviews and ratings of content. Much better than the minimal (and usually inaccurate) info that the MPAA, RIAA, and ESRB give.

We didn’t discuss This Film Is Not Yet Rated in the episode, but we watched it recently, and highly recommend it- especially as a parent. It will greatly open your eyes to the shortcomings of the MPAA film ratings process!!
