Mrs. Tech and I pushed our Valentine's Day in-town weekend getaway back to this past weekend due to a complete babysitting catastrophe. The folks of Hotel Tonight were nice enough to sent me some credits to try out their "same-day deals on hand-picked hotels" service to see if I could find a nice deal on a fly hotel for Saturday night.

Our kids are only four and two years old, but they want to invite some talking doll or gadget with a bunch of lights and noises to the dinner table. So we have implemented a trick as a reminder of our dinner table rule.
