Welcome to the NEW Dad’s House

Posted on September 3rd, 2008 | 6 comments

I just finished hauling Dad’s House over to a new hosting service. I simply outgrew my old digs. We’re working hard to make the new place presentable. It’s got the same Dad’s House look and content as before, with a few new features that I hope you’ll enjoy.
As with any move, things can get broken. [...]

Dad’s House is Moving!

Posted on September 1st, 2008 | 7 comments

Dad’s House has outgrown its Wordpress.com plot, so over the weekend I started moving this blog to a new host. Unfortunately, we’re not quite ready for a house warming party. Sometime during the day Tuesday, we should be ready to go. The first post, of course, will be a follow-up to my date with the [...]

Calling All Matchmakers

First, some news:
Dad’s House posts are now available as FULL feeds
(rather than summary), through Feedburner. This will no doubt delight multitudes of people who read blogs from feed readers and email programs rather than visiting this blog. The content is the same, but pushed to you rather than pulled by you. I sound nerdy. I [...]

After being roundly criticized by readers for suggesting a first date hike, I thought I’d solicit advice for First Date Tips so I get it right the next time. I figure while we’re at it, why not make it a contest with fabulous prizes, in the tradition of Honey and Lance’s First Kickass Contest. (btw [...]

SingleWorkingMommy recently had this to say about my writing in the comment section of my How To Grill Asparagus post:
You’re a great writer (and I’m an editor, so take that for what you will)–I could picture the restaurant, the setting, the mood. I could almost feel your gin-induced fog. Great piece.
Except I get this “cree.pee” [...]

I’m a Mother!

Posted on May 15th, 2008 | 10 comments

Break out the cigars, I’m a mother! No, I didn’t have a new kid, and I’m not some transgender pregnant guy. I’m not even a woman or pretending to be one. I’ve simply become a contributor for the Silicon Valley Mom’s Blog.
SV Moms is a collection of over 40 moms writing about Valley life, where [...]

My Daughter’s On Facebook – Can I Still Join?

Posted on April 4th, 2008 | 8 comments

Friends are encouraging me to join Facebook. I admit it’s tempting, but I’m not sure it’s the best idea. With 64 million active users, the social networking site is one of the most heavily-trafficked websites in the world. It could be a great way to meet and interact with people online, especially ones interested [...]
