Baby Turns One
Little Disney turns one on Wednesday (March 3rd). He had a rough first year [H1N1; seizures; food allergies: milk, eggs, peanuts, tomatoes, and shrimp; Failure To Thrive (FTT) Syndrome; severe eczema (his skin is rough like a lizard and he scratches himself bloody); and acid reflux]. Hopefully his second year will be much better.
On the positive side, Little Disney started walking a month ago. And thanks to the feeding tube, he's now in the 25th percentile (weight). Unfortunately, he still doesn't eat and the doctor won't take him off the IV until he's in the 50th percentile (will probably take another year – ugggh).
Happy Birthday, Little Disney! Daddy and mommy loves you very much.
This is how I sit
Marvel Super Hero Squad Video Game Review
The kids and I have been playing the Marvel Super Hero Squad video game (by THQ) for over two months now (bought it over the Christmas holidays). As some of you know, my kids are into superheroes (just like super dad). And because my super kids love super heroes, they think Super Hero Squad is super awesome. If your kids are into superheroes and you're looking for a gift idea, my kids recommend Super Hero Squad. The video game is fun for geek dads and moms too (I can vouch for that).
Video Gaming Console Platform
Sony PSP, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, and Wii
Game Rating
Everyone 10+
List Price
The list price is $19.99 for the Sony PSP, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo DS. The list price is $29.99 for the Wii.
RingCentral Mobile Hosted Phone System
When the people over at RingCentral asked me to try out their hosted phone system, the geek dad in me couldn't say no. Yeah I know, a virtual PBX is not exactly a topic I usually cover on my dad blog. But I can see value in a hosted phone service for work-at-home dads and moms. Why order a separate work line when you can manage all your calls with RingCentral? And if you're a blogger with a service or product for sale, you can market a toll-free number from RingCentral (instead of your home or cell number). BTW, other than a three month test trial, I did not receive any compensation for writing this review.
Connectify Wi-Fi Hotspot Software
My wireless router died recently so I have been playing with an application call Connectify for the last couple of days. The software is easy to use and very useful so I thought I would tell my fellow geek dads and moms about the program.
What is Connectify?
Connectify is an easy to use application that can turn a laptop (or desktop computer with wireless capability) into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Thanks to Connectify, geek dads and moms can wireless connect to the Internet without a wireless router. Cool! It's also free. Double cool! The software isn't limited to computers. Dads and moms can also connect Wi-Fi enabled devices like a cell phone or a Wii console. In my test, our Wii console detected the Connectify Wi-Fi hotspot, but couldn't connect to it for some reason (I'll get it working eventually).
Her Batman Dollhouse
The outlaws gave my kids some goodluck money (red envelopes) for Chinese New Year. Take a look at the dollhouse my daughter bought with her money.
It's a Fisher-Price Super Friends Batcave. And no, this dad wasn't there to help her pick out the Batman playset. My wife tried to encourage the Little Monkey to pick a less expensive Kai-lan or Dora girly toy, but my little girl refused.

Lunar Antics Giveaway
This week, I'm giving away a signed copy of The Lunar Antics Presents: Boy, I'd Hate to Be Made Out of That Stuff! on my dad blog. Lunar Antics (by Robert Walters) is a collection of newspaper-style cartoons about moon inhabitants who are the ultimate outsiders. But if you read the comic strips, you can see Lunar Antics is really about Earthlings.
