Shortly after the iPad was released Jeff Sass wrote a great blog about iDad. iDad is a great parody on the value of a dad over an iPad and a fun little read. There is another great DAD moment that was captured in a post last night Who Dad published by Doriano “Paisano” Carta. Last [...]
An apple a day… gives the media lots to talk about. Â This week both the tech news and so called “mainstream media” was all abuzz [...]
Imagine having the entire first year of your child’s life in photographs, or maybe photos of the family for a whole year. Here is an suggestion of a Dad as family photo historian project.
Well, we did it. My wife and I made it to the one-year mark. (Oh, and so did Lucy.) The first two weeks seemed like [...]
I was recently given a review copy of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Seeing Is Believing.
The problem is, I’ve never done an official review of anything before.
I guess the first thing to determine is my unit of measurement. That seems to be the thing that really brands you and makes you popular, ensuring that more [...]
I was a 70’s baby. When I was a kid we often played with our favorite Star Wars action figures. Each one stood about 5 inches, yes “stood”.
Maybe I’m getting old, but the Star Wars action figures today suck.
I remember the GI Joes from the generation before me seemed massive in comparison. The classic dolls [...]

“Words, words, words.”
- William Shakespeare (HAMLET)
I love words. I love to read and write. I was an English Major in college. Thus, [...]
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, yet as my task for this latest installment in the Sony DigiDad Project I am asked [...]
Heritage is a powerful word. In its truest sense it implies all the things we are made of and all the things that make us [...]
My entire family was blown away by Nelson Mandela’s Favorite African Folktales. I got a copy from the folks at Hachette, and my kids stole it. They wouldn’t let me listen to it by myself. But little did I know, I was going to get to hear it for the next several weeks, every day, [...]
Kids of all ages love plans, especially plans made by their parents for them. So, when I told my kids to invite a few friends [...]
For as long as I can remember, Sony has been a premiere consumer electronics brand. I can clearly remember getting my hands on the original, [...]
To say my daughter is a reader is an understatement. Recently at her 3rd birthday party, the opening of the presents came to a screeching halt because she opened a book and had to “read” it right then. It made my heart swell with pride right then. Danni, my daughter, can’t read words but loves [...]
My family enjoys many children’s performers such as the Wiggles, Dan Zanes, and Raffi. Recently we were introduced to Buck Howdy. My wife was working so I decided to load the boys up and take them to our local zoo for the day. The zoo’s barnyard area is contained and I can let all three [...]
I’m the cook in our house. Whether it’s an elegant gourmet meal or hamburgers and hot dogs, my wife is not ashamed to say that [...]
It’s summertime! Â (Duh!) Â For many families that means it is time for lots of “Rays and Zees” spending time outdoors with activities and relaxing in [...]
My daughter Katie and I recently discovered a website I thought worth sharing. Heck, you don’t even NEED kids for this site, it’s cute and guaranteed to make you smile. ZOOBORNS is a site where they post pictures of baby animals born in zoos and wildlife preserves around the world. There are some oddball critters [...]
We all worry about our kids and how they use the Internet. Thanks to a safety filter application called littleye, however, a lot of our worries and fears are now taken care of.
Put together by a community of parents and teachers, littleye takes the concept of existing online safety filters on step further.
The very fact [...]
It is one week from Father’s Day! Do you know where your gift is? It’s time for procrastinating sons and daughters to unite and get [...]
I still get chills when I hear the theme from Finding Nemo (2003). Thomas Newman always does that to me with his scores but this one touches me deeply as a dad. I think it’s because it reminds me of the opening scene when the father discovers his Nemo as the lone surviving fish [...]
I just came across a post from LifeHacker a couple of days ago on a YouTube player for children called Kideo.
I always cringe when I play a video to my 2 and 3 year olds. You never know when something terrible might appear in a video. I’m really impressed with the ones I’ve seen appear [...]

Kid’s love to create. It’s built into us, and when we are young, it’s clear. We draw, paint, play. We make up games [...]
We are always buying things because they look cool, or sound cool. What we are not big on, apparently, is thinking things through. When you see a book that says Guinness Book of World Records longest bubble was made with this, and that book is attached to a few pieces of plastic and some mesh, [...]
