    For anyone who is wondering, this is John Gruber. John is the author behind Daring Fireball, a blog that I read almost religiously in Google Reader multiple times a day. John is very vocal with opinion and has an uncanny ability of being right more often than not. And when he is wrong or way…

    Thanks to John Gruber at Daring Fireball for this find. If there is one show I really truly miss from the Beeb it’s Top Gear. Jeremy’s Clarkson is such a well spoken and intelligent presenter and writer that you completely overlook the fact that he’s a cowboy boot wearing petrol headed hooligan. Watch it all…

    My eye is OK. Of course I knew that already. But the optometrist was fitting me with some new daily lenses and because I have a astigmatism in my left eye my lens have to be weighted in a specific direction. So you’ll notice some little dots on the horizontal plain and and big OK…

    We recently started toying with the idea of putting together a DadCast, a 2FatDads podcast, so I dusted off the old mic stand and put away my reels of spliced tape and decided to put WireTap Pro to the test of recording a Skype conference call between three or more of the Fat Dads. Unfortunately…

    To be filed under WTF?!?! I was doing a little research for a post I’m writing on the BlackBerry Storm and I just had to call out BlackBerry for being complete Knobs and still requiring a user to access any of their pages with IE 5.5 or better. As a web developer, this really pisses…

    I know this is a little off track for the Technical angle we usually take on this blog but it follows suit on my own post on the Inconvenience of Saving our Planet that I wrote about last week. A inside joke here at 2 Fat Dads.com is we’re doing it for the diapers, any…

    If you own a Mac and code and have ever heard of any of these apps then your just not trying hard enough. I love, use, and endorse all three development tools: Transmit for FTP, Coda for coding, and Candybar for eye candy and Icons. Well for the next three days they’re having a big…

    Now I will be the first to admit that I’m no saint when it comes to my own environmental issues. I do own a snow blower and drive 6 KM to work; I also suffer from a bad back and like to smell nice for my clients and colleagues. That said Schultzter’s recent post about…
