A fun one I've been testing out lately is this Google Nexus 7 from Staples ($229.00 with free shipping). It's a smaller tablet - the display is a 7" but I actually kinda dig the small size of it. Don't get me wrong, I do love my iPad but I've come to appreciate having the Google Nexus too BECAUSE of the size. Not only is it smaller but it's … [Read more...]
When I hit up the Zing booth at Time to Play last month, I was all, I have boys, ooooh sure I can work a bow. I was aiming for this target: I sure *look* like I know what I'm doing, right?

But the other day I was on and a couple of new Minecraft … [Read more...]

I was treated to a great lunch in Philadelphia last week with Hasbro. They were in town showcasing some of their latest products and I was particularly interested as many of the toys seemed great for my boys including Beywarriors - a new toy from Beyblade.
