The Maclaren BMW Stroller

The Maclaren BMW Stroller

The Maclaren BMW Buggy (or as we say in the USA, stroller) is sleek and cool, combining the best materials and design details to create what we found to be a pretty rad stroller. Maclaren contacted Dadand to be one of the first sites in the US to have their new BMW stroller and put … Continue Reading

How to Shave Chest Hair

We review the Philips Norelco Bodygroom. I said it somewhere else here on dadand.com that my typical approach to grooming has been “minimalist…actually, borderline survivalist.” Well, I was talking about smells in that post but now I’m talkin’ hair. You know, as you get older…the stuff that keeps showing up in every place except for … Continue Reading

Pete is Old.

Yup. Pete is old. In fact, today he is another year older. Everyone say Happy Birthday to Pete. I’ve been saying Happy Birthday to Pete for over 3o-something years. We’ve never missed each other’s birthday. Sometimes we’re there in person, others, we’re there in spirit. Two years ago, I came up to see Pete, Emily … Continue Reading

So for the next three … Continue Reading

Building Model Boats

I was fascinated with PT-109. The boat. The stories. Infamously chopped in half by a Japanese destroyer while on patrol in the Solomon Islands—and the crew rescued by John F. Kennedy. But mostly, I was mesmerized by the guns and torpedoes. I was seven or eight, and weirdly into war stuff. Maybe not so weird. … Continue Reading

Build a DIY Cat Condo, Kitty Tower, Scratching Post, Cat Tree

If you just want some cat tree plans, download them. Otherwise begin to read. You’ll need to read anyway. A few months back, the family was in the pet store and we came upon those things. Things for cats to climb on, sleep, scratch…cough up hairballs. My Daughter: “Dad can we get one of these … Continue Reading

Holiday Gifts for Nerds, Gadgets, Punk Rock

Holiday Gift Guide

Ahhh…another list of Holiday gifts. Gifts for Dad. For Mom. For nerds and punk rockers. I think this is the last holiday gift one. And not a single tool on this one, unless you count the guy wearing the backpack we suggest below. Dove Men+Care I just spoke the gospel of Dove Men+Care in my … Continue Reading

Review: Dove Men+Care

My approach to grooming has typically been “minimalist”…actually, borderline “survivalist.” Just need to be clean. Don’t want to smell bad, but never really cared if I smelled “good.” And by “good” I mean fragrant or all cologne-y and stuff. It also meant I could just buy the cheapest shampoo and soap possible. Well the no-name … Continue Reading

Some new and cool tools. Some ol’ faithful friends.  An unofficial official Christmas tool guide if you will… Either … Continue Reading
