I don't mind if my kids play
video games, but I have two rules: no more than 30 minutes per day, and nothing with blood, guts, guns, and other violent images.
That leaves out a lot of the most popular releases, like Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Medal of Honor 3, and even

Xbox,
PlayStation or
Wii, you can choose from dozens of fun-filled titles that haven't a trace of violence, gore or adult themes.

Frankenstein, Dracula, Mummy and Werewolf are retired. No, seriously, quit their kill-innocent-people night jobs. They are tired of villagers with pitchforks chasing them out of town. Dracula dreads that next "stake-in-heart" near fatal incident. The Mummy and Frankenstein's feet ache from stomping about and Werewolf wants to chill…arrooo!
This Halloween the gruesome foursome will relax on a sofa, sit next to a warm fire (
the Mummy, not so much) and drink blood or snack on flesh and watch the top ten most popular horror movies of all time courtesy of
Netflix.

I don't know about you, but I'm sick to death of schlepping chargers everywhere I go. I need one for my
iPhone, another for my tablet, a third for my camera, and on and on. Hassle city.
That's why I'm head-over-heels in love with my Powerbag--which not only carries all my gear, but also recharges it. It's pricey, but worth it.
