We’re pretty lucky to be the first generation of dads to enjoy the internet. It makes my topic so much more interesting to cover. I can’t imagine what the world of dad blogging would be like if our dads had set the precedent. Would the posts on our Google Readers look something like this?
  1. Newspapers I Love to Read
  2. 10 Dinners I Complain Least About
  3. Allowance Negotiating Tips of the Pros
  4. My Favorite Sweater Vests Blog Carnival
  5. Life Lessons in 3 Sentences or Less
  6. My First “Just Wait Till Your Father Gets Home.”
  7. How to Lower Your Glasses in Convincing Fashion
  8. Baseball Game is Over. Now What?
  9. Thursday Thirteen: Favorite Family Meeting Topics
  10. Wordless Wednesday: My Trusty Lawnmower

Fortunately for me, dads today blog about anything and everything, and they’re a much more diverse bunch of guys. You’ve got dads who can braid like a mutha, dads who brew beer with the kiddos, dads who can kill you with posts about otherwise mundane things, dads who can inspire you as they document life’s ups and downs, dads who measure up on every metric of fatherhood but don’t have a child (yet!), and dads who fix up retired lawn equipment to entertain their kid.

And I have been tasked with writing about these pioneers of this new frontier we call Dad Blogging. And yes, I too am one of them. I document my adventures as a working dad trying to figure out this parenting thing on The Busy Dad Blog; post a comic strip about fatherhood on Busy Dad Tales; and just jointly launched an advice column for dads called Stark Raving Dads. Between makin’ bacon, updating my three blogs and building Lego Starfighters with my kid, I’ll do my best to bring you useful, entertaining, thought-provoking and otherwise interesting tidbits related to our little corner of the internet.

I'd have had a few others in my reader: "Creative places to hide the hi-fi
speakers" and "FM versus AM: the inside scoop". Good deal! More
reading for me. My wife is not going to be happy.

I came up with a few of my own:

1. Pipesmoking - Leaf From a Pouch or a
Can?
2. Jumpsuits - Men's Loungewear of the Future
3. Survive the Oil Crisis
By Squeezing 10 MPG From Your Old Chevy

Best of luck here Jim. Thanks for the shoutout. The Brewing video may very
well be the high point of my brief blogging career.

What's up BD...or is it Jim here?

How about:
Color TV - The Future Of
Entertainment
8 Tracks - Big Sound In A Small Package

Dadosphere looks like
a pretty cool gig for you! How do you have time to do all of this stuff?


Thanks for the links!

Thanks for the shout out BusyD, I mean, Jim! I'm still having spud nightmares,
by the way. Last night it was chasing me through a fry oil warehouse holding a
potato peeler in one hand and a shaker of salt in the other. (shudder)

avatar Th possibilities are endless: take it back five generations. I'm sure dads did
more than whittle pieces of wood and stride nobly into the unknown back then,
but would they have expressed it in journal form?
Looking forward to hearing
more from you.
