I got a new job. I’m now the…um…I forget what my title is. Senior Content Producer for Maxim.com? Senior Producer of Things? Digital Man of Things? Something like that. Yes, I will ...

This is one of the Christmas cards I made this year. More after the jump… Happy Holidays!!! -Dan
We’ve reached the end of the Lego Advent Calendar. Overall, I was unimpressed with this year’s offerings, but it was still a fun 24-day event. And this means things can only get better fo...
Tomorrow is the final day of the Lego Calendar. We all know that Santa is coming, and judging by what I received on the other days of this calendar, he will probably be riding an invisible sleigh tha...
“Baby It’s Cold Outside” should be sung with the male and female roles reversed. Has anyone ever recorded such a version? Had I the resources, I would do it, and it would be an inst...
Yesterday was crazy. After sucking up a whole three hours of sleep, I took the bus into New York, had some incredible meetings, got lost, got sweaty on the subway, got cold on the street, took the bu...
I cheated. I opened this box on December 19th at eleven o’clock at night. But I had my reasons. By the time you’re reading this, I will be on my way to Manhattan for some meetings. When I...
Tomorrow night I will be video live-blogging the classic holiday movie Die Hard over on Justin.TV as part of the SparkNotes Movie Club. This is the first time I’m trying a video live-blog. Stop...
By this time next week the calendar will be empty and Christmas will be here. I better savor each and every day. And if you want to have a fun holiday season, you better make the most of the remainin...
Today’s item is dumb. It’s not as dumb as the dumb prison cot, but it’s dumb. It’s the rest of the car. This is what you get. “Hey, let’s just fill each day with s...
If you read and memorized last year’s Calendar Blog you know that today is my brother’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Dave! Tradition states that I give Dave whatever pops out of the calendar...
If you arrange the walkie-talkies just right, they look like uncomfortable machine guns. You’re welcome. For more holiday cheer, visit SparkNotes and see my wonderful drawings. I drew the 12 Da...
This Lego Calendar set needs some women. The town of Barbaria is nothing but dudes. Not only would it be nice to have a lovely woman help balance out the aggressive testosterone of the dudes, but the...
Today is Taylor Swift’s birthday. I know this because I just looked up celebrity birthdays hoping to find some inspiration or subject matter for this intro. Happy birthday, Taylor Swift. You ar...
Lego Dobby isn’t part of the Lego Advent Calendar. He came with some $10 Harry Potter set that I bought because I was going to use the pieces for the Harry Potter Blog. I still might do that. I...
Today almost got away from me. I was so busy making Christmas cards that I nearly forgot about the Lego Calendar. This isn’t to say the Lego Calendar is forgettable, but that my holiday greetin...
There are only two weekends left between now and Christmas, and this is one of ‘em. Use it wisely. If you haven’t decorated your tree or dyed your eyebrows red by now, time is running out...
Sorry I was such a brat yesterday. While I am still underwhelmed by yesterday’s Lego offering, there was no need for me to act as I did. I apologize. I hope you can forgive me, and I hope the L...
In my knitting video, I said, “A scarf is just a snake blanket.” Perhaps inspired by that comment, Teri sent me this photo on Facebook. A real snake blanket! Teri, you are more talented t...
It stopped raining in Pennsylvania. That’s probably not the greatest intro sentence I’ve ever written, but I’m busy today and I need to wrap this up quickly. Yesterday was a bad day...
I put up my Christmas tree yesterday. The picture you see to the right is the unlit tree. Looks really sad. You can’t tell from the photo but there are two strands of colored lights that emblaz...
Are you curious to see what was in the Star Wars Lego Calendar this year? I went with the City calendar, and judging by the items I’ve gotten compared to those items in the Star Wars set, I mad...
My brother came to town for an anniversary party and after the party, we thought it’d be fun to go through the old Christmas ornaments in my dad’s attic. And then we found a mouse nest in...
Not to brag, but the picture to the right is of my famous Dan’s Dessert Disc for Your Mouth. It looked better than it tasted. If you want to make you own, watch my instructional video, and chec...
I made another unnecessary trip to the Lego Store. Had to. The world I am creating needs its own Lego mat and walls. The calendar comes with a printed cardboard mat, featuring a snow scene, but the p...
Maybe it’s because the weather has finally agreed to be cold, or maybe it’s the fact that I was up until five in the morning drawing the 12 Days of Christmas (seen here), but I’m ce...
