I've been meaning to post this for at least a week (since Rebecca D. kindly sent it to me), but you know - sometimes life gets all up in your piece.
Oh my god. So incredible. I would like to write up all of my analysis and feelings about this video, but life is, again, in my piece. As type a baby lies next to me on the couch needing my arms to hold him. Awwww...
In short: this piece makes me happy to be alive in this time. It proves that not everything has been done before and creativity is still very much alive.

What am I missing? Are you also let down? Hook me in the comments.
Don't get me wrong - I love being a dad and I LOVE Theodore. We've been diligently putting up video and pics over on the website to share that love.
However, I also enjoy sarcasm. Now the two have met in a chocolate + peanut butter moment. It' a website called Let's Panic. It's a "parenting" website in the loosest of ways. In fact, it's about as legitimate a parenting site as legitimate a newspaper The Onion is. Which isn't to say The Onion isn't pure genius, right?
Right.
Here, for instance, is one of their sponsors:
