- 1001 Rules for My Unborn Son
-
From Walker Lamond, a list of one-thousand-and-one rules about life for his yet-to-get-here son. (As he puts it, “Let’s get some things straight before I get old and uncool.”)
He’s got a book based on the idea coming out soon, too. (Inevitably it will be handed out at every baby shower on the planet. But you know what? That’s a good thing.)
A few of my favorite rules:
Rule #369. “You don’t get to pick your nickname.” (Just ask “Sluggy” Bogart.)
Rule #365. “Sadly, some things we love will never come back. The fedora is one of them.”
353. “See it on the big screen.”
I really like lists, but I never remember to make them. Perhaps I should start; any suggestions for random things to keep track of?

Wait, what is this?
This is the romping grounds of Daniel Bigler. Here's more about him. He thinks you're really swell for visiting.
Daniel’s been hardwired to the Internet since he was twelve and spends a lot of time finding nifty things on it to share – which he does so here.
He also uses this place to write serious thoughts about things like children and their “big picture” place in society and the world.
How to get started
Some of Daniel's fascinations are kids' media, educational experiences, culture, and environments. Hey, maybe you share those same interests. Click on 'em to read more web finds and thoughts about them.
