Not too long ago, I quietly removed my "Offsprung" link from my sidebar. The site, which was started by Neal Pollack in the heady go-go months of 2006-2007, quietly died as a site for content due to "technical difficulties."
But now Offsprung lives! I'm back on it! Best of all, it's a Ning site, so the stuff actually works again!
For the most part, I'll be cross-posting stuff from this site over to my page there, but I'll be sure to let you know if there's something cool going on there.
And, really, folks, there's a lot of cool parenting discussion going on over there, it's not like every other parenting website. Not for everyone, perhaps, but if it is, I think you'll dig it.
Exciting News over at Offsprung
The title says it all. Head over here and find out about a fabulous new opportunity I'm privileged to be a part of that will let many more families know about kids' music you Zooglobble readers have known about for a long time.
Win A Free CD From Another Website. That's Sort of Mine!
So I've got a copy of Nettwerk's fine For The Kids Three! CD (review) to give away, courtesy of Nettwerk. There's just one catch -- I'm not giving it away here.
Instead, go here and enter. In order to comment you'll need to sign up with Offsprung, but I promise promise promise, we're a very non-evil organization, even more (or less) so than Google. And we're tons of fun, too.
What Day Do Kindergarteners Have Their "Meta" Class?
Hey, I'll have stuff from my whirlwind Austin Kid's Day sojourn coming up soon, but for now, why don't you stop by Offsprung and watch Neal Pollack and his son Elijah consciously (and badly) rip off Adam Sandler. (Elijah's by far the more natural talent.)
Oh, and if you haven't visited lately, more Offsprung columns are being added weekly, it seems. Shopping, movies, health, it's all there.
Finally, check out my swanky new Offsprung banner. I'm so proud. (Or, rather, as proud as anyone who had very little to do with the actual putting-together of said banner can be.)
Hannah Montana is Offsprung
I'm late posting this (as the talk is going on right now), but yesterday I posted some suggestions for today's Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana chat at Amazon over at my Offsprung site. Go and make some more mildly (or harshly) sarcastic suggestions.
By the way, Offsprung is rolling out some cool community features, so if you haven't stopped by, you really should. A fun group of writers and readers, growing daily.
