Earth to Echo is this generations Goonies

Earth to Echo PosterEarth to Echo is this generations Goonies… It really is an awesome adventure movie that kids will love.  The movie is rated PG and I certainly dont think its a movie for kids younger then 5 but for those kids older – this is their generations Goonies or a kid version of Indiana Jones.

Tuck, Munch and Alex are a closely bonded trio of inseparable friends, but their time together is coming to an end. Their neighborhood is being destroyed by a highway construction project that is forcing their families to move away. But just two days before they must part ways, the boys find a cryptic signal has infected their phones. Convinced something bigger is going on and looking for one final adventure together, they set off to trace the messages totheir source and discover something beyond their wildest imaginations: hiding in the darkness is a mysterious being, stranded on Earth, and wanted by the government. This launches the boys on an epic journey full of danger and wonder, one that will test the limits of their friendship and change all of their lives forever.

This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to attend the premiere of Scooby-Doo: Wrestlemania Mystery, and it was excellent! Many of the wrestlers that appeared in the film were there (like Kane, The Miz, and Triple H), and Scooby-Doo himself even made an appearance! The movie itself was a lot of fun, and definitely worth seeing for fans of Scooby-Doo and WWE alike—it’s packed with laughs and thrills in traditional Scooby-Doo fashion.

Scooby-Doo: Wrestlemania Mystery hits shelves today!

Plus we were invited to attend WWE RAW this past monday night – got to meet some of the awesome WWE All-Stars along with one very special guest!

ccs951337_dvd_thumb_{8d239a91-dbdd-e211-97c7-020045490004}Teaching my 5 year old about animals was always simple identifying the name with the shape… but he’s at an age now where he wants to know more like what do they eat, where do they live… because a zoo is not there natural home.

Father’s Day Gift Idea: Samsung SmartCam WiFi Video Baby Monitor

Father’s Day Gift Idea: Samsung SmartCam WiFi Video Baby Monitor

Samsung SNH-1010N SmartCam WiFi Video Baby MonitorOne thing that sucks is having a new baby and having to go into work everydaysuch is the life for sooo many (and it was for a couple of weeks of Harper’s life). One simple solution cause you cant really put a new born on the phone to check in is this amazing Samsung SmartCam [Amazon]. Its a WiFi connected Video Monitor – I leave out the baby part cause it could be used for almost anything you want to keep an eye on or an ear on since it transmit sound too.

It took all of 5 minutes to get working (yes it really that simple) but for a regular folk (non techie) maybe it’ll take you 10minutes. It uses Samsung’s hosted solution to communicate to the video device.

This does require an internet connection in the setup mode I have it running in (I dont even know if it would work if you didnt have an internet connect – like if you only wanted to run it locally).  There is a free app you download for your iPhone or iPad.  The image looks great with settings to reduce bandwidth.

I set this up on my old iPhone 4 (using wifi only) and it worked great in my apartment.  The video looked great streaming over AT&T Wireless network on my iPhone 5.

If I have any issue is that even though it has the remember the password boxes in the app – it still requires usernames/passwords/camera password (so you can run multiple cameras) with no centralized login ability (would love to sync it to my facebook or twitter account so I dont need to remember another username/password).

Philips AVENT Comfort Pump and Natural Bottle review

Philips AVENT Comfort Pump and Natural Bottle review

I’m not going to say I personally tested a breast pump – I leave that up to my highly qualified wife. When Philips AVENT asked me to check out the newly launched Philips AVENT Comfort Breast Pump and Philips AVENT Natural Bottle.

What makes these the latest and greatest from Philips AVENT?

Philips AVENT Comfort Breast Pump:

  • Unique design allows moms to sit more comfortably with no need to lean forward
  • Gentle stimulation mode to get your milk flowing and a choice of three pumping settings to make milk flow most comfortable for moms
  • Soft massage cushion with warm feel for comfortable, gentle stimulation of mom’s milk flow
  • Includes Philips AVENT Natural bottle and nipple for natural latch on, making it easy for babies to combine breast and bottle feeding

Philips Avent SCF693-17 Natural Feeding Bottles New Born 260ml 9oz 1 Pack - Avent Malaysia 2Philips AVENT Natural Bottle:

  • Wide, breast-shaped nipple designed to help your baby latch on naturally
  • Special comfort ‘petals’ inside the nipple to increase softness and flexibility without collapse
  • Advanced anti-colic system with innovative twin valve allows air into the bottle – not baby’s tummy
  • Works with the Philips AVENT Comfort Breast Pump, making it easy for babies to combine breast and bottle feeding

Over all Harper took great to the natural bottle and had no issue jump between the bottle and direct breast feeding.

The Breast Pump did help allow me to get involved in the feeding time ritual, which is super import to help support a new mom. I think my wife found the breast pump to work great and it was small enough to even take overnight to a wedding. The bottles are very easy to put together you can even put them together in the pitch dark while holding a baby (dont try that at home – I’m a trained professional).
