The Works: Parenting Blogs
I'll be on The Works this evening, talking about the rising prominence of parenting blogs. The show airs tonight 8:00 on 94.9, KUOW, or soon you will be able to listen to the audio online here. Here are the people, sites, and articles we discuss:
Comments
Awesome, Matt - and thanks for the mention. I'll make sure to listen. Posted by: The Zero Boss on March 8, 2005 1:36 PMThis is a parenting blog? Who knew? I thought it was a lighthearted take on the foibles of everyday life in general. And The Trixie Update is a big tease, man. I've been waiting for TrixieTracker since before my daughter was born. Posted by: Buck on March 8, 2005 2:03 PMI adore http://daddyzine.typepad.com Posted by: Ariel on March 8, 2005 2:24 PMI think Dad Gone Mad (www.dadgonemad.com) is hilarious. Posted by: Cubix on March 8, 2005 3:11 PMParenting in NYC as told by Doug at http://laidoffdad.typepad.com/lod/ - although, he's not "laid-off" anymore. Posted by: MojoMark on March 8, 2005 4:10 PMIn flagrant self-promotion, I kind of like my own blog, when I'm not wallowing in self absorption. http://blogs.salon.com/0002504 Posted by: Anita on March 8, 2005 6:17 PMYea! It's so fun to listen to this! One of my favorites is http://www.crazyus.com/ Posted by: R on March 8, 2005 8:24 PMThanks for the mention, Mojo. Though I prefer to be described as "between layoffs." Posted by: LOD on March 8, 2005 8:52 PMoh no, I KNEW I shouldn't have made that crack about the [not] annoying [at all, just a big silly misunderstanding, really funny if you think about it, right? right?] plastic toy. It came from The Queen's parents, didn't it? I am so sorry. Actually, I'd like to buy one. No, two.

I found the their article to be a tad condescending and very limited. After reading it, I commented on my own blog that I am surprised that they couldn't find people like myself who simply like to write and who blog primarily as a way of keeping friends and family up-to-date. As you mentioned, my blog ends up being 50% my son and 50% what I think think about him. Posted by: J-Dad on March 9, 2005 9:45 AMwww.verymom.com I can't believe you said "personal antidote" on the show! Cracked me right up. Posted by: chloe on March 9, 2005 2:40 PMThanks, man. Posted by: Mrs. Kennedy on March 10, 2005 7:49 AMI've been enjoying Kitschenette: Life in the Swiss Lane, by an Australian mom who is raising her two little ones in Switzerland (with her Swiss hubby). And of course, there's my own blog, which is prolly 50% about my crazy little vegan family unit, and 50% random distractions. Posted by: Sharyn on March 10, 2005 11:08 AMI enjoy "http://daddychip.blogspot.com" It's a good mix of issues, observations and humor. Of course then, there's mine "http://eccentricfather.blogspot.com" but Chip's is a lot better. Posted by: Homer Jay on March 10, 2005 3:43 PMI really enjoyed listening to the piece this morning as I got ready for work. I started our parenting blog a little bit before Fuller was born for the main purpose of keeping our friends and family in the loop of how Fuller is doing. We have no family in this area, so it has helped others feel like they know how Fuller is doing. And our (almost) daily pictures of Fuller keep their eyes on him as well. Posted by: mrscrumley on March 14, 2005 5:28 AMThank you for mentioning me and my book! Much appreciated! - Jeff Vogel My faves are: and, a shout out for myself: I guess it's too late for it to make any difference, but I love http://snowdeal.org/section/ex_machina/. The earlier posts are more exciting than the ones right now, but the pictures are still cute, and the updates are still consistent. It's also great to see the interaction via postcard between the audience of the blog and the author, and the use of Flickr.
