Four of the GeekDad moms, Natania Barron, Kathy Ceceri, Corrina Lawson and Jenny Williams have gathered a tremendous team of contributing writers and set the awesome goal of doing for geeky moms what GeekDad has done for us dads.
GeekDad has always been about parenting, but the moms are looking to branch out.

I took a break from visiting the 1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts and ended up south of the border. The family visited the Mystic Aquarium.
It was a great place so I figured I would share it with the larger GeekDad audience. You can read more about our visit on Wired’s GeekDad: GeekDad Visits the Mystic Aquarium.

Voyager 2 and Neptune (Combination of images from NASA)
Of the many great things that happened today, Voyager 2 made its closest approach to the planet Neptune in 1989. To celebrate, I made a guest appearance today on Wired‘s This Day in Tech:
I dragged the kids over to the Charlestown Navy Yard in my continuing quest to visit and write about each of the 1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts. That list has a separate entry for:
It was odd to have three separate entries. I’m not sure why the Constitution Museum and the U.S.S. Cassin Young are lumped together since there is no obvious connection, except that they are near each other. I just chalk it up as yet another defect of the list.
President George Washington gave the U.S.S. Constitution her name when she was launched in 1797. She is the world’s oldest floating commissioned naval vessel. No surprise that she is one of the 1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts.
Both kids had fun so I figured I would turn this visit into a GeekDad post: GeekDad Visits the U.S.S. Constitution. You can read more over there.
Last year, I tagged along with The Son’s field trip to the Science Discovery Museum in Acton. I thought it was a great idea for a GeekDad post. But I never got around to writing about it.
Until now.
My latest post on GeekDad is GeekDad Visits the Science Discovery Museum.
It’s also on the list of 1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts.
While in Iowa with the kids, Mrs. Doug had the brilliant idea of taking them to the Blank Park Zoo.
Here are some pictures: Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines.

Today, the 97th edition of the Tour de France starts in Rotterdam, kicking off three weeks of bicycle racing. Twenty-one teams of nine riders each will have to endure 3,600 kilometers of racing and 25 mountain passes to reach the finish line on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
I spruced up my Top Ten Reasons That Geeks Should Love the Tour de France for GeekDad.
Here are some of my recent posts on GeekDad:
Time made its annual pick of blogs they can’t live without for 2010. Making the list was my own GeekDad.
“There’s no better mix of cool stuff and nostalgia-inducing throwbacks online than on GeekDad. Targeted at fathers with a nerd bent, this blog from Wired includes creative, kid-friendly projects like making your own monster movie and shares how to relive your impoverished youth (think buying a massive box of ramen). The blog’s strength is that it doesn’t try to be anything it isn’t. GeekDad is laser-focused on the father who wasn’t the cool kid in high school but is now the envy of every dad on the block.”
I need to point out that there is plenty of stuff in GeekDad for the moms as well as dads. We even have several mom contributors.

Space shuttle Atlantis soared into orbit from Launch Pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on the STS-132 mission to the International Space Station at 2:20 p.m. EDT on May 14. This was the last planned launch for Atlantis. There are only two more space shuttle launches left before the fleet is retired.
I wrote about this on GeekDad: The Beginning of the End of the Space Shuttle.
