I could write a whole post about why I haven’t written anything here in so long. But I won’t. I doubt anybody really cares.

We need your help! As you are probably aware, a certain Dynamic Duo of which I am proud to be a part has authored a Seussian story about the CPSIA law. Many seem to be enjoying the story and we are quite pleased, but we also have a bit of a problem. We can’t decide [...]
