I’m back from New Orleans and a whirlwind few days with fellow Cast of Dads hosts C.C. Chapman and Brad Powell (we sorely missed our other two hosts Michael Sheehan and Max Kalehoff.) We had a great time with the LG team, who were gracious hosts and made sure we had a fantastic experience both with the games, and by giving us a better understanding of LG products (I already miss the slick LG Nitro HD Android phone I was using for the weekend…) I will share more content from the trip in a future post, but wanted to first share this quick “3/5th of the Cast of Dads” video episode we shot across the street from Bracket Town. Enjoy!
Thanks again to everyone at LG and LG-One for arranging this trip and for giving us the opportunity to attend the NCAA Finals. It was a weekend we won’t soon forget.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, yet as my task for this latest installment in the 
This sleek and slim camera is physically svelte and stylish, and for it’s small stature it is loaded with features. Â The 10.2 MP still camera also shoots 720p HD video which is all quite impressive in such a small package. Â However, the camera is so light and thin I found it difficult to hold steady at times, something that was more a problem for shooting video than still pictures. Â The camera also boasts a beautiful and large 3 inch LCD touch screen display, which makes it very easy to change settings and modes at any time. Â By far the most impressive (and cool) feature the camera has is the Panorama mode. Â This allows you to seamlessly create ultra wide angle panorama views by simply moving the camera from left to right. Â The CyberShot “automagically” digitally combines your movement into a single panoramic view (see below). Â It takes a few times to get used to the motion in order to properly fill a complete panoramic shot, but once you get the hang of it the feature is very neat.

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 who we are. Family heritage is deeper than DNA, and thicker than blood. Our heritage is built upon people and personalities, characters and culture, history and hysteria, stories and legends, love and loss. Every one of us is a product of the generations that came before us. We are defined by our heritage. I believe this more than ever, after sitting my parents down in front of a video camera and letting them talk.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=f0419a12-9398-465a-bb78-4f7e2dbff8bc)

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 to flip through books and take time on each pages as if she was reading.

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 the sun. Â For all of us that also means thinking about protection from those burning rays, and for parents it is yet one more thing for us to worry about. Â Are our kids getting too much sun? Â Are they wearing enough sunscreen (or any at all?) Â If we do put sunscreen on our kids, what is the right SPF? Â 15? 30? 45? 60? Â Is a sunblock cream enough? Â What about hats, and other protective clothing?![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=43d0a44a-147a-49f0-8cd1-93db0696b426)

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 off our butts and focus on something that will make dear old Dad smile. If you are also a Dad (or Mom) yourself, it will be even easier to put a smile on your Dad’s face, leveraging your kids (his grandchildren). There is still time to send your Dad a very special gift that is heartfelt, personal, and will be appreciated for a long time to come.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=70e3200a-3c8c-4f8c-bfbe-a359c2a971cd)





Early in marriage, our robust energy is focused on the marriage and budding careers. As we move into our late thirties and forties, careers get more time-consuming and kids hit the stage. Not a lot of time to focus on our wives or even ourselves. This is the stage when most of us fall out of shape and out of love. Love in the romantic sense; our marital relationships are more important than ever, but for many of us our passion for our kids is more evident than our passion for our wives. As the kids mature and gain independence – and here I’m conjecturing since I am not there yet – the kids consume less energy which means we can begin to focus on our wives again.



s parents, we’re always looking for ways to save a buck when it comes to eating out with the family. This has become especially important these days because of the current state of the economy. The more kids you have, obviously the more that restaurant bill will be. That’s why it’s critical to know which places let children eat free and which ones don’t. Those types of places usually offer food that children like and provide a family-friendly environment as well. 


They also offer a way to earn some extra income by becoming a

I have three kids. My wife, mother and I all have iPhones. This is not a coincidence. It didn’t take long after the introduction of the iPhone to realize that the iPhone was a great tool for entertaining youngsters and buying parents some peace… provided said youngsters are not fighting over the device itself. If you’ve got children and an iPhone in the same house, kid-friendly applications are a must-have. Here are my favorites — all links are iTunes links.
