Novosoft Handy Backup Software Giveaway
I'm giving away two licenses for Novosoft Handy Backup software for automatic computer backup. Yeah, I know. Backup software is not exactly the most sexy product I featured on my dad blog. But I think backup software is something all moms and dads with kids could use. Whenever my kids use the computer, I get [...]
ooVoo for ooDads and ooMoms
If I didn't work from home, I would use a web service like ooVoo to make video calls to my kids at home. With ooVoo, dads and moms can make audio or video calls from a computer. ooVoo is a VoIP service like Skype. What's different about ooVoo is that people can join a call [...]
Syncables for Synchronizing Files on Multiple Computers
Do you know why Hewlett-Packard is giving away two laptops to 25 lucky winners?
The answer is this: HP is promoting the concept of companion notebooks. The idea is that you would use a high end laptop like the HP dv6 as your main computer (bye-bye desktop computer) and the HP Mini 110 as your netbook [...]
HP Pavilion dv6-1299lx Laptop
Hello, I'm the Little Monkey. Even though I'm only three, I'm writing a review of the HP Pavilion dv6-1299lx (dv6t) notebook. My daddy is suppose to write the dv6t laptop review, but he's making me write the review instead. I think daddy finally realized I have all the brains in this family. That's why I [...]
HP Mini 110-1036NR Review
Over the weekend, I tested the HP Mini 110-1036NR netbook out in the wild. I packed the Mini laptop and three of my kids in a big Timbuk2 backpack and went on 2.5 mile hike. Because my youngest child is only three, we had to cross a scary troll bridge, walk through an enchanted pink [...]
Tweeting Twitter Followers
I finally joined Twitter (@DaddyForever). Yeah, I know, Twitter has been around for years now. I've been too busy living in the non-virtual world to follow anyone or gather followers. Actually, I can't believe Twitter is still around. When I first heard of Twitter a couple of years ago, people were tweeting about going through [...]
HP Pavilion dv2-1199 Laptop – Part 2
After playing with the HP Pavilion dv2 Notebook PC for the last few weeks, here are a few more thoughts that I didn't mention in the first part of the HP dv2 laptop review.
One of the more useful things I've done with the HP dv2 is download information about food allergies and save the info [...]
HP Pavilion dv2-1199 Entertainment Notebook PC
HP sent me a Pavilion dv2 Entertainment Notebook PC (model #1199) for review. It's tiny! It's less than one inch thick and weighs only 3.8 pounds. The laptop is so light I can have my kids carry it for me. And if the little monsters drop the notebook (like they do with their drinks), the [...]
Star Trek – The Diaper Generation
The new Star Trek movie is coming out this week. Finally. It's been seven million years since the last Star Trek movie. I'm a big time Star Trek fan, but my kids are not exactly Trekkers. How can you not like a universe with warp drives, transporters, halo decks, Q, and the Borg? There's obviously [...]
Time's A Wastin or How to Record Audio from YouTube
My favorite song in Walk the Line is Time's A Wastin (by Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon). Unfortunately, the Phoenix-Witherspoon version is not on the soundtrack or available for download from iTunes. However, I did find it on YouTube and figured out a way to convert it to a mp3 file (see instructions after the [...]
