I am impressed that your stache has already reached puberty! I am still in the stubble stage. :-)sassTue, 03 Nov 2009 22:03:15 -0000http://dadomatic.com/the-sony-reader-black-and-white-and-shades-of-dorian-gray/#comment-21551340Thanks Sukhjit! My son is on his third book now with the Sony Reader, so I am a happy parent to see him reading so much. I agree the open approach to content is a good one, as I mentioned, and I will check out the other Sony Reader products next time I see them in the store. I think it is great that there is so much activity in the eReader space right now as the rising tide lifts all ships and overall it is great to be encouraging and facilitating more reading, and creating more distribution outlets for writers and publishers. Good stuff all around.sassSun, 01 Nov 2009 18:09:34 -0000http://dadomatic.com/where-the-wild-things-are-or-arent/#comment-21548623Thanks Joe. I am not surprised that it didn't grab a 7 year old. WTWTA was probably more for you, as AstroBoy was more for him. ;-) Still, I am sure going to the movies with your son is great no matter what you see!sassSun, 01 Nov 2009 18:05:06 -0000http://dadomatic.com/finding-daddy-time/#comment-21175499Wow. Great moments to capture. You will really know how great when you look back at it years from now. Watching you and Harold zapped me back in time and place, when I could do that with my kids. Now my oldest son is 21 and 6 foot 1, yet he too once bounced on my knees and pulled on my fingers. Now we hug a lot, but I have to hope he doesn't crush me! Thanks for sharing! (And kudos to the camerawoman!)sassWed, 28 Oct 2009 10:00:01 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2009/10/24/ourAllyoucaneatLifestlye.html#comment-20939962Very thoughtful and thought provoking.

Hope you enjoyed it.sassMon, 19 Oct 2009 13:02:55 -0000http://dadomatic.com/100-faces-of-fall-a-cybershot-in-the-arm/#comment-20121984A - Thanks for the comment (even if we are not supposed to count it... lol). Clearly, as you confirmed by your disinterest in the product, these posts are not at all "ads" but rather stories and opinions that were inspired by the use of the gear. Glad you did click through and read it and took the time to comment. Thanks!!!sassThu, 15 Oct 2009 10:09:46 -0000http://dadomatic.com/100-faces-of-fall-a-cybershot-in-the-arm/#comment-20121840Thanks Heather, and thanks for sharing your own experiences with the Sony Cybershot. I think you hit the nail on the head with the fashion and size appeal of the THIN design. The PANORAMA feature really is neat and now I find myself looking for scenes that would make great panoramas... ;-)sassThu, 15 Oct 2009 10:06:53 -0000http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2009/10/the-we-need-to-own-baloney.html#comment-20119964Great point Fred. "Percentage" is all too often confused with "value." A controlling interest in zero is still zero.

Needless to say, as Sony has loaned us Dads some of the tools to "create," (i.e. digital cameras) the "DigiDad Project" has been particularly rich for a content marketing approach. Speaking for myself, the challenge has been to use the Sony Gear as inspiration for stuff I would want to do and write about anyway. In that regard I think it has been a great success as I have been able to involve my kids in the process, and get their input and feedback on the gear, and use the gear as an excuse for us to do some fun things together. By far the most rewarding thing to come from my participation is the "Heritage Video" project, and the resulting video of my parents. The "interview" with my folks, and the discovery of some old favorite family recipes, as well as capturing in gorgeous High Definition the unique and memorable interaction of my parents together (and their stories), is something that has already made a mark in my life and will be cherished long after the Sony DigiDad Project is done and forgotten. For that, I am extremely grateful to have had the chance to participate and be a "SonyDad."sassMon, 12 Oct 2009 12:46:37 -0000http://dadomatic.com/spaghetti-pie-making-dinner-memorable-for-your-kids/#comment-19606419Porcupine Burgers definitely beats Spaghetti Pie on the disgust-o-meter! LOL. "Sauerkraut Soup" was the other favorite odd meal my mom made. When I shot the "Family Defined" video I learned my mom has a box with ALL my grandmother's old recipes... My son the chef and I already plan to turn them into a cookbook after he graduates from Johnson & Wales this June (so we can leverage his degree!)

It is a choice we have and it is always in our control! Always look forward, only look back to learn. Couldn't agree more. I promise I will only listen to Accident Hash in a padded room, with no chance of Accident Hash causing an Accident!

You hit the proverbial nail on the head and you don't have to record every moment of a trip or adventure. I think there are two ways to use digital media (images and video) to record your vacation. One way is to "Memorialize" it and record as much as you can to try and relive moments exactly as they were. Think of what a Documentary Filmmaker would do on your vacation. It is a lot of work and you spend most of your time fiddling with your gadgets rather than experiencing your vacation... The second more fun way is to just "Capture" your vacation, recording just enough snippets that will easily spark your memory of the vacation later on. This has become my preferred method, as when I used to try and "memorialize" everything, I ended up not having any good memories of the trip (other than futzing with my cameras...)sassMon, 28 Sep 2009 18:56:11 -0000http://dadomatic.com/a-family-defined-in-high-definition/#comment-17264685Thanks Laura. I tried to tell a story that would be interesting outside my family and at the same time something I know my family will cherish. It is great what today's digital tools make so easy to capture. ;-) Thanks so much for taking the time to take a look.sassWed, 23 Sep 2009 23:06:22 -0000http://sassholes.blogspot.com/2009/09/matriarchs-patriarchs-and-grandest.html#comment-17073800Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment and for sharing your stories.

I have had to put down a beloved pet more times than I care to remember and it is never easy, always painful. It is, however, a part of life, and an important reminder/lesson for us and our kids. Like any loss, it quickly puts things in (proper) perspective.
