Parenting 101 (a.k.a. The Chapter on How Not To)

Over the next week, I will be posting the most popular videos on BoomTown from 2007.

Here’s one of the two videos I did in which I egregiously used my two young sons to try to 1) raise money for underprivileged kids via DonorsChoose.org and 2) get a lunch date with Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang, who is not pleased with BoomTown because of our pointed posts on Yahoo all through 2007.
