Thunderstorms, Earthquakes, Spies, Sports Channel for Kids & More on Cast of Dads Podcast #25
In Cast of Dads episode #25 titled “The Russians Are Coming“, we just couldn’t stop talking. Our podcast is pretty loosely structured, frequently we have only 1-2 topics that we plan to talk about ahead of time, but some days we just go without any planning whatsoever and just see what directions the subjects take […]
My Brain was Upgraded at Intel’s “Upgrade Your Life” 2010 Summit
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending the Intel “Upgrade Your Life” 2010 Summit (my announcement) which was a gathering of a variety of technology influencers and bloggers. At this summit, we were introduced to a number of different individuals representing different initiatives within Intel. There were 10 of us invited to […]
Beer, Beer & More Beer (And Father’s Day Stuff) – Cast of Dads Podcast #23
Who says that we can’t do a Podcast on a Monday? Well, I guess that I did last week but that was during the day. For our “Happy Father’s Day” episode of Cast of Dads, we did our recording a bit later on a Monday, and lubed up our voices, creativity and topics with a […]
10 Father’s Day Shopping Tips – But First, Bring your Cell Phone!
With Father’s Day right around the corner, how are you going to make your Dad (or husband) happy? For me, any type of gadget will make me grin, but that is probably not what each and every dad wants. The best bet is to develop a strategy with your siblings or kids in order to […]
“Pitching the Tent Both Ways” – Pre-pre-Father’s Day Cast of Dads Podcast #22
It’s really odd but for some reason, the Dads of Cast of Dads are much more talkative on the weekend. Perhaps because Episode #22 (“Pitching the Tent Both Ways“) was recorded on a Monday, we were a bit punchy and off our game. Or were we? You will have to listen in to decide for […]
Stream Your Family’s Media to the Big Screen TV using the Western Digital TV Live
Father’s Day comes at almost the perfect time of the year. School is just ending and you are literally “gearing up” for the summer. If you are thinking about gifts for your Dad and he happens to be the resident audio/visual guy, I’ve got a great recommendation for a device that will easily allow you […]
I’m Participating in Intel’s “Upgrade Your Life” Digital Influencers Summit
A few months or so ago, I saw an interesting phrase from Intel fly by on Twitter. It was the line “Upgrade Your Life” which I thought was a very creative melding of technology and real life. I was definitely intrigued. To my surprise and pleasure, a few weeks ago, I was invited to attend […]
From Virtual to Physical – Actually Meeting Another Cast of Dads Member!
This past Tuesday, I had the good fortune to actually meet one of the Cast of Dads members in person, Jeff Sass from Dadomatic.com. Jeff happened to be in town for the SF MusicTech Summit and since I’m based in San Francisco, we managed to meet up at an event called SFBeta. Our backgrounds are […]
Cast of Dads: Podcast #9 – “Valentine’s Day” (Massacre?)
So it is pretty obvious to me that I’m not the only guy who struggles during the romantic times of Valentine’s Day. For Episode #9 of Cast of Dads, we decided that it would be appropriate to record our podcast on Valentine’s Day itself. Well, it proved to be an interesting podcast filled with awkward […]
Special Thanks to Life360.com for the Blogger Spotlight & a Critical Family Service!
Life360 is a site that deals with ensuring the safety of your family and protecting your assets (people & property). Obviously, this is something very important to me and my wife so as a service on its own, it definitely deserves a thorough discussion. However, in this case, I wanted to mention something else: one […]
World Premiere: “Cast of Dads” Podcast – Episode #1
I have always wanted to do a podcast but never had the time, energy nor team to do so. Obviously, there is plenty of content to talk about though. Well, after several months participating in the Sony DigiDads project where 4 other daddy bloggers and I spent time with some Sony loaner gear, writing about […]
The Sony DigiDad Project
No, it’s not about turning a bunch of dads into Skynet, cybernetic offspring. Nor are there going to be a new line of kids DigiPets that are modeled after fathers (but that would be an interesting idea). The Sony DigiDad Project is actually pretty cool (probably because I’m in it)! So here’s the scoop. Sony […]
