Here are 5 things other dads are blogging about today. They’ve been doing this blogging thing ever since the first Neanderthal visited the local pawn shop and traded in his club for a Bjorn and a laptop.

1) Mrs. MetroDad: MetroDad is off to Vietnam this week and while he’s off to bring home the bacon, he’s asked me to keep you company. And since you don’t know me, I thought what better way to introduce myself than to have my first guest post be about your beloved MetroDad? You all know MetroDad as a witty, obnoxiously funny, fashion-conscious Korean-American who is not only a seasoned world traveler, a whiskey connoisseur, tech geek, and grammar snob but is also, above all, an endearing, loving and completely devoted father.

But have you ever wondered what it’s like to be married to The MetroDad? Let me share a few things… (more at MetroDad)

5) Magnavox vs. Xbox: I’ve been off the DDad grid for a bit. One reason is that as my 40th birthday recently approached, and realizing that no one was getting me an Xbox360, I decided to drive over to the nearby Costco and pick one up myself.

It was a “premium SKU” which means it has two wireless controllers, a headset, the hard drive, and a copy of Project Gotham Racer 3. (more at DigitalDad)
