HTGYG #13: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Hi everyone! This week I bring you another mixed bag of subjects. First, I will tell you about my trip to Dragon*Con, then my son Kevin will give you his first impressions of the new computer game Spore, and finally my daughter Amanda will tell you her opinions of the television show “The Middleman” on the ABC Family Channel.

I also would like you to send in your comments and opinions on the topic I would like to cover soon – when do you expose kids to different levels of action in tv, movies and games, and how much do you let them watch or play such programs? Please tell me what you do in your home, and what works for you.

Please email me with your own comments at howtogrowyourgeek – at-gmail -dot-com, or call my voicemail number at 206-202-7309 and leave your thoughts. You can also visit our forum at the Farpoint Forums. You can also see our super cute t-shirts, mugs and bags at our Zazzle store link, if you are interested. I love the logo so much that I thought it would be great on shirts, etc.!

Another good show. You really need a full/part-time co-host.
