Cougars, Cars, Dirty Diapers, Fighting & Shooting Pool with a Rope – Cast of Dads Podcast #33
You gotta love unscripted recordings. And how we are all at the beck & call of technology. During our live podcast, Skype decided to act like a misbehaving child and refused to let us talk. But we worked through this and just kept going with a fairly “loaded” series of topics. The result is Cast […]
“Safety, Security and Splash?” – Hot Topics from Cast of Dads Podcast #32
We are definitely back into the swing of things with the latest episode of the Cast of Dads Podcast. And personally, I believe that the topics we covered in Episode #32 should be one that is of interest to parents across the country. Note: we are always looking for sponsors! If you would like to […]
What Does “Silent But Deadly” Refer to in the Latest “Cast of Dads” Podcast #31?
We are still trying to get back into the regular scheduling of our “Cast of Dads” podcast. It’s definitely hard to schedule 5 busy dads who are juggling family and work and play times (what’s that?). But we did have our weekly virtual convention over the phone and managed to bang out another great episode […]
Vacations, Teddy Bears, Breathalyzers and Pictographs – “Back From Vacation” Cast of Dads Podcast #30
We took a week or so off to enjoy time with our families and get ready for the start of the school year. But once we all got back on the phone this week, we definitely had a LOT to talk about in our latest Cast of Dads podcast #30, “Back From Vacation“. Note: we […]
More Funny Car Videos: “Mom My Ride” & the “Swagger Wagon”
On Wednesday, I posted a couple of funny advertisements coming out from Nissan. It turns out, obviously, they aren’t the first to do this. A co-worker, and mom, pointed me to a couple of other really funny videos that are specifically focused on “the family mini van.” These two particularly hit “home” with me as […]
A Dude Ranch Vacation at Greenhorn Creek Ranch – Riding, Fishing and Generally “Horsing Around”!
My family and I spent about a week up at a Dude Ranch in Northern California called “Greenhorn Creek Guest Ranch“. Since I have 3 girls, their grandparents thought that introducing them to horses and ranching at their age would be great for them. I couldn’t agree more! Earlier this year, we set out looking […]
Milking an Almond, Bacon Explosions & Bakin’ in the Heat – Cast of Dads Podcast #26
As if we didn’t do enough drinking during our respective 4th of July festivities, with our voices and brains lubed up with wine and beer, the Cast of Dads convened Tuesday night to record Episode #26 titled “From Snips to Squirt“. Before I dive down into the meat (literally) of the podcast, I want to […]
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 […]
Dads, Have You Done “The Big Snip”? – Cast of Dads Podcast #24
As all 5 of the us on the Cast of Dads have recently recovered from Father’s Day, with a variety of good times and adventures, we spent some time discussing something that “cuts close” to our Dad-dom, that of “The Big Snip”. Can you guess how many of us on COD have actually had the […]
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 […]
Keep Track of your Kids through Social Media & a Cell Phone, But BE CAREFUL!
I have always been a big proponent against the use of Social Media by children, especially when they are in elementary school. Interacting with Social Media is not something you want your kids doing at an early age, at least not until they can really understand its implications. However, as they grow older and more […]
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 […]
