Two of my favorite people to interview – ever- are Fritz Grobe and Stephen Yoltz of Eepybird.com, a performance troupe based in Maine. If you’re anything like 40 million other people in the world, you know these guys from “The Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments” – a recreation of the Bellagio Fountains using nothing but […]
Geekdad has a list of the 10 Annoying Habits of a Geeky Spouse. Matt Blum is writing from the perspective of things he does that drive his wife crazy, and someone in the comments noted that this is “Yet another article talking about how guys have to change for women.” Oh, not so! First off, […]

My guess is that the ladies among you will particularly appreciate this. It’s a great way to start […]
