The Geek Dads welcome Eric Nagel to the show, a programmer, affiliate marketer and Christmas display enthusiast.

The Geek Dads at Home run through a few iPhone apps based upon Mashable’s 20 Fantastic and Mixero, plus some thoughts on plagiarizing in twitter, comedians, and domaining.
Last week I wrote about some baby products that weren’t completely unnecessary; it was a completely unasked-for response to a post by Keith Wilcox at almightydad.com. I promised there would be a follow-up, and here it is! Positioners, protectors and leashes – oh, my! Keith’s Part Two can be found here.

I was recently made aware of Keith Wilcox’s blog, almightydad.com. In poking around, I came across his most-viewed post, Unnecessary Baby Products.

Branding, sign language, toys, and data recovery. DVDs, streaming video, WordPress and podcasting software. Betty’s Not a Vitamin, Joe is an old man, and the mighty Drobo. Geek Dads unite!

This first part of the show is dedicated to the two big news stories of the day: The Beatles and the Apple event. The Beatles have a new set of remasters and Apple has a new lineup of iPods and a new iTunes. We cover my epic failure with the show recording over the weekend (hint: don’t look for it on the site), WordPress, WordPress plugins, and Joe’s weekend camping. Swine flu is next, then car seats and horses & kids. We finish up with predicting what kids will be like as teens and attending evening events when you’ve got kids to deal with. All-in-all, a good hour of Geek Dad-ery!
Joe and Daniel talk about the passing of Ted Kennedy, first days of school, fundraising and Poken! We’re heavy on the “Dads”, light on the “Geek” this week.
Daniel and Joe cover the FriendFeed/Facebook news and wonder – what’s next? Also: evil empires, Twitter practices we hate, blog commenting systems, our kids’ eating and sleeping habits, and more.
