It’s been a while since I’ve posted here and I hope to change that. My son is over a year old, and I have a truckload of pictures I could post here, but I’ll save that for later. Also, I plan to post many more entries on ASP.net programming. I hope this will add additional content to the site as well as attract a more developer focused community.
Fatherhood
5 Lessons Learned As a New Dad.
I’m not an experienced/expert parent by anyones measure. My son is a mere 5 months old, yet I feel like a different person. Anyone who has had a child will probably tell you that life changes dramatically after having a child, and your overall perspective on life changes along with it. The way it changes is not easy to put into words, but I am willing to give it my best effort.
New Book Reviews
I recently added two new books to the reading list. If you have any good book recommendations for dads, please let me know on the contact page. I’d love to hear them.
Why I Go Home: A Developer Dad’s Manifesto
There was a great post on Hacker News this morning that ties in very well with the theme of this blog.

A handy registry guide for new parents.
Just posted this over the weekend. Hope you all find it useful. I made it a static page a the top of the blog and will continue to add to it as time goes by and we get new suggestions from other parents.
