In the early 90s, when I had just gotten out of college I remember seeing an editorial cartoon. It showed two slackers at the garbage dump, in front of a pile of old LPs, CDs and a sign over a third pile that said ‘the next music format’. “What could be greater than CD’s?” I thought. Until music starts being piped in through brain waves I guess MP3s are as good as it gets. Continue reading The evolution of guy to husband to dad: The Music

An iPad for under performing students in Georgia-UPDATE
Last week I wrote a post about the fact that the state of Georgia is thinking about purchasing an iPad for some of the under performing students in Georgia. Unbelievably Georgia officials are still in serious talks and consideration to follow through on this idea. It was a bad idea last week and it hasn’t gotten any better with seven days of age.

Daddy Mojo’s favorite free iPad apps for toddlers
Baby Mojo is just 16 months but he loves to interact with the iPad. We’ve found a couple great apps that help teach him basic words and phonics. Verbally, we’ll teach him the sounds of the alphabet, but when he sees the letters we’re teaching him the phonetic pronunciation. All of these apps are free, but some of them may have additional aspects that you pay money for.

An iPad for every student, in the 45th ranking state
Sometimes we stumble across a story so ridiculous that we hope its content and motivation was typed by a room full of monkeys.

Continue reading An iPad for every student, in the 45th ranking state
Do bad dads deserve a second or third chance?
Perhaps it’s unfair to call Charlie Sheen a bad dad. I do not know the man and his parenting style could be very healthy and sound. Though he is the father to four children, (6, 5 and a pair of 2 year old twins) to two mothers, he’s certainly not acting like a ‘dad’. Continue reading Do bad dads deserve a second or third chance?
A parent’s view on Skins and a la carte television stations
As the parent to a toddler who just figured out that they can turn on the television I say who’s up for a good discussion on whether Skins is really child porn? No? Ok, let’s engage in a debate over how the UK version of the show is much racier and the U.S. version is nothing, so us tight underwear Americans should chill out. Continue reading A parent’s view on Skins and a la carte television stations
Royal Marshall and unexpected happenings
I was reminded of a tidbit of advice that a married friend of mine gave me many years ago. I was over at their house and his wife was going up the street to run a couple quick errands. On her way out of the room he said “Hey, I Love you”. Continue reading Royal Marshall and unexpected happenings
Toys for the toddler: Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Camera
Toddlers destroy things. If a toddler were a mattress they’d have a tag on them that says, “Do not remove this tag or I’ll destroy more things than I would normally”. Toddlers touch what they shouldn’t, parents stop them, that’s our job. Continue reading Toys for the toddler: Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Camera
