DadZillaTV Pledge

Friday, May 1st, 2009

1. I’ll never review anything that I haven’t tested before.

2. I’ll always be true to my experience, never adding any sort of “fluff” to the review.  You’ll get it straight.  If I love it, I I love it, if I hate it…well…

3. I want to hear about Dad’s doing great things, and I truly believe that together we can change the way the world perceives Dads.

3 Reasons Why Every Dad Needs a FLIP Camera - DadZillaTV Episode #2

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Just before my birthday this year I stumbled upon a nifty little gadget called Flip MinoHD Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Black) I’ve since been obsessed with this little gem.  I also own a larger camcorder Sony DCR-DVD810 1MP DVD Hybrid Plus Handycam Camcorder with 8GB Memory & 25x Optical Zoom But I have to say that the Flip has taken over video duties in the Dessi home.

Here are my top 3 reasons why you should get one:

1. Portability - Any parent can tell you that gone are the days when you were able to throw your cell phone in your pocket and run out the door.  Now when you leave you need to bring diaper bags, snacks, change of clothes for baby, bottles, wipes, portable DVD players (more on that later), strollers etc. The LAST thing you need to worry about is carrying a camcorder. The flip cam is about the same size as a cell phone. In my case, I have a blackberry bold, and this baby is SMALLER!

2. Ease of use - all you have to do is hit one button, and you’re recording.  Point at the baby and bam - you have a great video to ship off to family and friends.

3. Ease of sharing - What’s the use of filming your child if you never share it with anyone? Instead of having to convert a mini dvd, or digital tape to any sort of edited home movie (although I love doing this, it’s really REALLY Time consuming). With the flip all you do is plug it in and your computer will automatically pick it up and download your video. The quality is great and you can share with friends and family via Youtube.com

Here’s one of my favorites of Talia discovering the joys of splashing for the first time:

Dads: Let’s do this.

Monday, April 20th, 2009

It’s important work being a Dad. It’s difficult work being a Dad. It’s difficult being a parent for that matter. For me, for this site, and for this community I’m going to focus on Dads. Why? Because I’m a Dad, and when I became a Dad all I did was ask other Dads about Dad stuff, and I realized that there’s a ton of information out there for Moms. There’s next to nothing for Dads. I think that stinks. So here I am. Starting DadZillaTV. Looking to get you guys off your butts and into your kids lives. I’m not perfect. In fact I mess up often. Once, early one morning while my daughter was crying I shut off her monitor thinking it was my alarm clock. Seriously. We’re human. I just think we need to get over the macho BS and start parenting along with our wives, partners, whatevers….if you’re a single Dad - wow. I have no idea how you pull that off. Seriously.

Let’s do this.

In case you’re wondering - this is Talia. She turned 1 on April 14th, 2009. She’s the most important thing in my life. I do everything for her. I started DadZillaTV for her.  I enourage you to post links to your little ones.  Dads can be proud parents too.
