Making Room (on the Web) for Daddy

A growing number of websites for fathers shows that dads want their own space to talk, get advice and show off the children.

The NY Times Styles section took some time away from talking about handbags to break some news:  Dads, it seems, love their kids!

I can't hate on the Times too much for talking about dad bloggers or proud papas.  But the revelation that dads want to share pictures of their kids with other other dads instead of talking about sports or something is a little, um, condescending and out of touch.  Personally, if I wanted to scroll through pages of other people's kids I'd just log on to Facebook.  But it shouldn't be that surprising that it appeals to some dads.  

Sure, in the old days your wife's doctor would send a telegram to tell you that your kid was born and on their 10th birthday you'd give your kid a hearty pat on the back to express, if not affection, tentative approval.  And you'd next see them when they were grown adults, to ensure they married well.  But times have changed!

Everyday:  The Cry-Making App

Someone else is going to give you their recommendation on the best app to track your child's poop schedule, but I'm here to give you an app recommendation will make you cry.  In a good way.

You know that Sprint ad with the girl growing up before your eyes that makes you cry every time?  You can make something cool like that with Everyday.

Everyday (iTunes link) is an awesome app for parents.  It's a photo app that allows you to take a picture every day so that you can see how much your child changes over time.  It gives you a grid to line up your kid's face in roughly the same spot and it reminds you to take the picture each day.  Then it makes a little movie for you.  

I'm always jealous of parents who think of cool stuff to do with their kids.  One of my friends took a picture of her daughter on her first birthday.  Then the next year, she took a picture of her daughter holding the picture of her from the year before and so on.  Now she has a four year old holding a picture of a three year old holding a picture of a two year old holding a picture of a one year old.  How cool is that?

The point is:  good ideas are worth stealing!  Then – shhhh– they become your awesome ideas.  Well, you create something pretty cool like that without too much effort with Everyday.

I've been using it for about two years now and it's great.  It's really intended for you to take your own picture, but I don't need a video of my slow decay thank you very much.  Use the front-facing camera to take pictures of your kid.

It gives you speed options for the resulting video.  The one up top is my "normal" speed version, and here's my "fast" speed version:

You get started now, pretty soon you'll have an awesome video of your growing child.  I am ordering you to steal this good idea.  It's $1.99 in the app store here:
