Discussion about iPad apps leads into some comics talk; San Diego Comic Con is going on right now. There’s a story of terrible parenting at the Robert Plant concert in Houston, and Drew wraps up with a kayaking story in Providence.

This week we start off with Twitter and fundamental shifts in communication. Drew gives his recap of his panel discussion from the EVO conference, and we talk about television – is it good for us? Bad? Neutral? There’s discussion about leaving the kids overnight with relatives, and we close with harrowing tale of near death.

In this episode we’re talking about moving and the headaches associated with it, like dealing with phone companies and dumpster divers. Rush kicked off their tour Tuesday night, and we discuss the merits of Twitter and online communities for getting the play-by-play from the concerts as they’re happening. And we’ve got a million dollar solution for bands – sell your own bootlegs at the venues! Drew is back from the EVO conference, and he’s got the full report – and a couple of new iPads for his effort.

Drew is attending the EVO conference, where he will be in the gender minority. We turn to the issue of image licensing and licensing images of our kids for various things.

It’s a Daniel-less episode this week, as Joe and Drew handle the hosting duties while he’s at a doctor appointment with Winter. The big news of the week is Joe’s move to Boston that’s coming up! He’s also been added to the Podcasting 101 panel at Affiliate Summit East, coming up in August. There’s discussion about ways to promote events using Facebook, traveling with the kids, and a lesson in how Drew connects with the partners that he promotes on his website.

It’s an experimental episode as Daniel and Drew sit down for episode 16. Drew is calling in from O’Hare Airport using Skype on his Droid phone, but aside from a few barely-noticeable glitches here and there, you wouldn’t know it. Aw yeah, technology!

This week begins with travel stories and souvenir habits, then the dads take on Facebook privacy issues. From there, Drew talks about his time using the Sync technology in the Ford Focus he rented. Daniel launched a new video site called Daniel Destroys over the weekend, which leads into a bit of talk about comics. That leads to some discussion about Iron Man 2 and movie theaters with built-in bar-and-grills.

It’s Joe’s daughter Sierra’s birthday! She’s four now, and about ready to move out and get a job. She’s already driving and has a favorite liqueur, so it’s only a matter of time. They grow up so fast…

Drew is still having hacking issues on his websites, and the Dads discuss a few more ways those kinds of situations can be avoided – and fixed, if it happens to you. Also this week:

• Television, DVR and communities that spring up around shows.
• Affiliate Summit session voting and people buying votes
• Drew’s conference appearance schedule – Summit, Blogworld and more

Great show this week, check out the full show notes for useful links!

This week the Dads are talking about Lost and the impact of spoilers on people’s viewing habits. Discussion of Disney movies and the ages of their characters resulted in the title of the show this week and the show wraps with music festivals and industry conferences. Two of the geek dads are up for sessions at Affiliate Summit East, and your vote can help those sessions come to be (more info on the show and in the full show notes).

In this episode, the Dads talk about Drew’s website hacking drama, social media engagement and the ethics of sponsored tweets. Why do some people have such a problem with sponsored tweets but not automated RSS feeds piped into their streams? We’re getting into festival season, concerts are coming up, and hey, is this letter I got a scam? You want to renew my domains for $35 each? Really?

Daniel, Joe and Drew are all in the house for this week’s episode – enjoy it and tell your friends!

It’s an exciting new – er, sort of new – direction for Geek Dads Weekly! Last year, under the Geek Dads @ Home banner, additional Geek Dads co-hosted the show – it wasn’t always a two-person gig. At one time, there were four regulars, then three. Today, the magic number is back up to three with the addition of Drew Bennett (BenSpark.com) to the line-up!

Joe is out this week, and Daniel & Drew talk about digital comics and the iPad, old school cartoons, Rush, brewing beer, and much more. Daniel & Joe are thrilled to have a new partner, and hope you’ll enjoy the new format!

Daniel and Joe are back after a two-week, unplanned hiatus. Daniel and his family moved from Albuquerque to Houston – the first topic of the show – and it really messed with the recording schedule. He covers all the trials and tribulations of moving cross-country with two small kids. The winner of the Legacy Learning Learn and Master Guitar contest is announced, and the show wraps with a great discussion about the recently released Apple iPad. Joe is still bullish on the device, while Daniel is still very… not. At all.

It was a surprisingly solid recording, since Daniel’s son Ian ended up sleeping through the whole thing (very, very unexpected, that!) Enjoy!

This week Daniel and Joe welcome Drew Bennett from BenSpark.com to the show. Topics include daily photos and photo projects, online privacy concerns, and Usenet. There’s a fine line between educating the good guys and educating the bad guys when it comes to the types of information that can be found online, and the show wraps with a discussion about Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic.

“It’s been a crazy month or so for the Geek Dads, so apologies all around for missing a week here and there. Things are going to get even crazier, for me at least, in the next three weeks or so (more about that later) but we strive to get our shows done on time, on Wednesdays.” – Daniel

When you’re a work-at-home Dad and things get hectic, sometimes you miss an episode! Daniel and Joe are back after a week hiatus. They lead off with a brief update on the kids, then launch into some really fun stuff. The video of the panel that Daniel was on at Affiliate Summit is available for viewing, and Joe’s big takeaway from the discussion was the upsides of wikis vs. other website formats. Next, the Super Bowl – it was a great game, and the advertisements were all out there trying to do their best to be memorable, but one in particular sparks a terrific discussion: does Google’s ad point out that they are, in fact, trending toward evil? Microsoft was the Evil Empire in the 90′s, is Google having the crown resized to fit?

Also, the winner of our first Internet Marketing from the Real Experts giveaway has been announced! Shawn from Ohio is our winner, and we’ll be contacting him via email to find out where we should send his copy of the book. We have a few more copies to give away, but for our next contest, we’re changing it up. We want to hear from you! Tell us what kind of contest to run, and if your idea is chosen, we’ll send you a copy of Internet Marketing from the Real Experts. When we run the contest you suggested, the winner will receive a copy of the book. More details on the contest page!

The final season of Lost begins tonight on ABC, but neither Daniel nor Joe will be watching! Both are fans of the show but each has a reason for not watching as it airs – will this mean ignoring Twitter and Facebook for a few days to avoid spoilers? Speaking of TV, is the future of television season-based or will we see a move toward year-round programming as things move online? The Dads also cover CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture), the Wiki getting spammed, the “advertising tax” (also known as the “affiliate tax”) and the first Geek Dads Weekly giveaway! Sign up for the new GDW Newsletter to be eligible to win a free copy of Internet Marketing from the Real Experts, a great new book by The Gang of 88, edited by Shawn Collins and Missy Ward of Affiliate Summit. Full details can be found in the show notes.

It’s Apple tablet day! Daniel and Joe talk a bit about Affiliate Summit West, then give updates on the kids. Ian is walking! The main focus of the show this week though, is the long-awaited and much-rumored Apple tablet, the iPad (no, it doesn’t have wings). Joe is intrigued and largely in favor of the device, Daniel is… well, not.

Daniel gives a one hour recap of Affiliate Summit West, which took place from January 17-19 in Las Vegas.

This episode runs down the full experience of a week in Vegas for the premiere affiliate marketing industry event.

It’s the first episode! Daniel and Joe are back from the Christmas holidays in a new year with a new show name and a new website. 2010 (is that ‘twenty-ten’ or ‘two-thousand-ten’?) is going to be a great year and the Geek Dads are thrilled that you’re along for the ride.

There were some recording issues this week that, regrettably, resulted in strong reverb on most of the show. Rather than trash the recording and skip the first week, it was decided to post it with as much clean-up as could be applied.
