Is This Thing Mine? *TOOOT* *TOOOOT*
Friday, April 25, 2008 
Blog closed for repairs. I'm going to send you all on a little detour to Discovering Dad, a very cool dad blog written by Jeremy Biser. This dude has like a hundred blogs, but I like Discovering Dad best. Why? Because this week's Spotlight on Dads is shining on yours truly.
While you're there, make sure to give him props and of course subscribe to his feed and/or bookmark him. He features a different dad every saturday. AND, he's doing something that I wish I had thought of: he's getting the scoop direct from my favorite mom bloggers about issues that men care about, but were too scared to ask. He showed me a preview. It is GOOD. And he gets to email them without getting in trouble. I told you he was wikid smaaaat!

Good piece young man!
-----
[BusyDad] Thank you my good man!
Hope the repairs are quick and painless! Now, off to read the spotlight.

[BusyDad] (actually it was a fake diversion to send people on a little detour because I am so uncreative sometimes)
Great article! Loved it.
-----
[BusyDad] Jshakes! Thanks! Love it when you stop by.
'Hell do you mean 'closed'??
Not cool Jim. Not cool at all.
:p
-----
[BusyDad] shh... closed as in "with quoty things" around it.
Thanks dude! Discovering Dad is by far my favorite project that I work on, and it is becoming the one I spend more time on than any other - mostly because of meeting AWESOME people like you!
-----
[BusyDad] And that is precisely why I also get so much out of it. As I wrote in my interview, this whole meeting like-minded cool people was a totally unexpected bonus. Glad I met you too. Let's take this "fatherhood rocks" thing and run with it.
Sweet! You go BD! I didn't know you were Chinese royalty... so should we address you differently... sorry your royal... I don't know any Chinese so what would I call you? :)
-----
[BusyDad] Well... sadly I don't know. I have to ask my mom. All I have to hold onto is an ancient prophecy. And I can order Chinese food pretty good too. So plain ol BD or Jim will bring me a runnin. Thanks for clicking over to Jeremy's site and reading it :)
Very cool interview... nicely done. Don't let all the fame and glamour go to your head. Hope the page repairs go quickly.
-----
[BusyDad] um... the repairs will be done as soon as I am done being lazy ;) Oh man, I'm already showing signs of fame. Thanks for getting me back on track!
Great job Jim. Your answers were much more witty than mine. Very well done.
-----
[BusyDad] I use humor to overcome insecurity, but I am very glad you thought it witty... thanks man!
Good luck with the repairs! I hope they're speedy!
-----
[BusyDad] They will be done as soon as I ... think of something to post. Thanks for the moral support Tootsie ;)
Great spotlight!!! From reading your blog the past couple weeks (Iron Chef was my first... and it was GREAT!!) you really hate attention!! hehehe
It's really great to see REAL dads writing about what fatherhood means to them and seeing such great joy in life as a parent!!
Congrats on the puff piece!
D
-----
[BusyDad] Oh I despise attention! And praise? Blah! ;) Thanks for visiting and lurking for a couple posts! I love it... er, I mean... go away!
Congrats! I loved reading the interview :) Very nice. I had no idea about how you and your wife met. We have an Ooops too ;)
-----
[BusyDad] Oooopses are SO cute aren't they ;) I had no idea about yours either. So, are you keeping a tally? Boston, SoCal, an Oops and a shared motherland. Are you my bizarroworld twin???
You are one very readable DAD! Love the interview..and your blog!
-----
[BusyDad] Thank you very much ms. loulou! And thanks for jumping over to Jeremy's blog to read it.He's readable AND informative.
BD my man, that was a great interview. I really enjoyed it. You are doing a great job of winging it man. Keep up the great work!
-----
[BusyDad] Thanks Joe (I guess if you really don't know what constitutes doing it right, you can't really fail!)
I went for a visit. Great interview! Seems to me, you shouldn't have any problem with getting a job.
-----
[BusyDad] :) Thanks Momo! Anyone need an emperor?
Dude: I have 3 words for you...
What the fuck?
(oh yeah - and how long do I have to be denied a BusyDad?)
-----
[BusyDad] swearing = you care. That's blawg luv and I am touched. And back up and running too.
Yay! Can't wait to see what happens after the repairs.
It's going to be hard to wait, though...
;-)
-----
[BusyDad] Repairs are done! This blog was suffering from "WhatAmIGoingToPostNext Recalibration" - things are back on track now :)
You DO know, don't you, that the only reason I am even thinking about visiting that blog is because you are in the spotlight, right? : )
-----
[BusyDad] :O hey now! He means well.
I've been stalking you on my reader. Nice to know more about you from the interview. Perhaps we are related - my great great great... grandma was an empress in the Foo Dynasty...
-----
[BusyDad] Ah royalty! Maybe we can win back our prior glory by taking over the world. One... um... post at a time. (damn where can you even find a good foot soldier these days??).
