Odds and Ends (and Turnabout)
Posted on 21. May, 2010 by Brian Reid in odds and ends
Another good week in dad-land. Among the stuff I didn’t have the chance to fully digest:
- The New York Times said nice things about the new Geek Dad book, including noting that was good stuff for “fathers (and mothers).” Putting moms in parens did not still well with the NYT readers, who proceeded to hijack the comments to complain about how in appropriate it was to assume that a book like this might only be applicable to the male half of the parenting universe. Fortunately, this never happens in reverse. I can’t think of a time when dads have been unintentionally left out of *any* parenting conversation. (Via Daddy Types.)
- The NYC Dads Group is now at 200 members. So if you’re an NYC AHD are aren’t hanging out with Lance and his crew, I have only to ask: why not?
- Need more a fix of Joel, from Parenthood. Check out the SFChron’s interview with Sam Jaeger, the guy who plays the role.
- The next great trend in travel marketing: targeting dads for man-cations.
- Nice inspirational story about a guy named Brian Price who became a stay-at-home dad when one of his twins was diagnosed with leukemia.
Have a great weekend …
