Transformers Animated series started in US

The new Transformers Animated series started yesterday in the US. Haven't watched it here in Canada yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Great blog post by Kneon Transitt. He gives it a thumbs up. Note: Spoiler warning.

Geekdad blog and podcast

Calling all geeky dads... just stumbled across the Geekdad Blog on Wired. It's a great site. I've been listening to their podcasts, including the one with guest Wil Wheaton.

It's neat listening to a bunch of dads sitting around talking about how to deal with raising kids in a geek-friendly house. They talk about kids stealing their classic D&D dice, watching anime and Star Trek with little kids, and setting up classic 80s-style arcades in their houses.

One of the things they discussed in a recent podcast was this dad's photography, really neat: Dreams of Flying. Kids pose on the ground with household items, and the picture is taken from a ladder. It's really amazing and so simple.

Their discussion of You Let Our Kids Watch What? is great too... I can sympathize, since I can't help but let the kids watch some shows they really shouldn't (some would say).

Only Magazine published a photo of the 2010 mascots involved in a tasing accident.

Awesome.
