Work With Me
From web developers & project managers to UX & QA the Nerdery needs you!
Fun
Twitter has a job opening for a unicorn slayer.
Did you see Twitter’s awesome recruiting video? I have to say, it got my attention because it’s cheesy awesome.
While listing open jobs, I noticed that they are even hiring a unicorn slayer. Now I think that may be illegal, with them being endangered and all, but you don’t find that job to many places.
I think I’m going to stay at my current nerdy job for now, but if I ever want to fly with the blue birds, Twitter sounds like fun.
Blast from the past: Garbage Pail Kids
Remember Garbage Pail Kids? The trading cards & stickers of sick and twisted little kids?!
Peepin Tom
Man I had so many Garbage Pail Kids cards. A little disgusting? Yes. But not as bad as the gum that came with them. I wonder if my Mom still has my collection of cards?
And did you know they re-released some recently? All new cards, old cards, and even some holographic cards! I may have to buy a few on Amazon for nostalgia’s sake.
Happy Halloween
We’re all having more fun for Halloween this year as Lily is 2. She has a better understating of what’s going on and has been practicing her Happy Halloween and Trick or Treat.
Costume Sneak Peek
This year she’ll be going as a pink cat. It’s a warmer costume which is nice but also has quite the big belly. Trying to get her into the car seat in it sure was a lot of work.
Cleaning Out Pumpkins
Lily also helped clean out some of the pumpkins this year. She wasn’t so sure about it, but eventually stuck her hand right in.
This is Halloween – The best thing you’ll see all day.
I would love to do this if I had the free time and a clue as to how they did it.
Halloween Arts & Crafts
Lily loves her arts and crafts. From crayons to paints she loves to put purple and pink on pretty much everything. Because of this we’ve started doing more with her and now are creating something new all the time.
For Halloween we created spiders and pumpkins out of paper plates, painted mini pumpkins, colored ghosts, created egg carton spiders, and even made banners. We’ve painted with cotton balls, our fingers and apples and then decorate with googlie eyes, stickers and construction paper.
Anyone have Game Genie cheat codes for Angry Birds?
Ok. I think I’ve figured out how to beat Angry Birds. I just need to find some cheat codes for the Game Genie.
What? This is how I beat all the video games when I was a kid.
Cupcakes, Cows, Presents & Water
Our little girl is now two years old! What better way to celebrate than with two parties and doing all the fun things she loves to do.
It started out with Uncle Josh visiting on her birthday. That’s pretty special as he was in from California. Josh gave her some plastic food so she could feed her dolls and pretend she was cooking like Mom.

Then she had the weekend with just Mom and Dad. She got plastic plates, bowls and cups to go with her plastic food and she loves to play with them. She also got some Elmo things and other fun toys. Plus we had ice cream cookie sandwiches!
Where’s Wall-E? Can you find him?
I’m a fan of the Where’s Waldo books for some reason so when I came across Where’s Wall-E I couldn’t stop looking for him until I found him. It took a few minutes, but I found him; along with a lot of other cool robots!

Parades are so much fun when you’re a kid.
Lily went to her first parade over the weekend and I think it was almost more than she could take in, but she enjoyed it.
Lily enjoying the parade.
From the horses to the floats to the candy, there was always something to look at and something to do.
When floats played music, we danced. When there was something being handed out, we wanted it. When the big vehicles honked their horns or backfired, we ran into daddy’s arms for safety.
