Regular readers know that I always like to give voice to parenting blogs written by new fathers. The more, the merrier. Not only do I enjoy hearing the different perspectives and stories that other men have regarding their kids but I also think there's a great sense of community among "Daddy Bloggers". And while there are a million "Mommy blogs" prevalent througout the blogosphere, there are still only a handful of fathers out there writing about their experiences. Nobody seems to know that we really even exist. But we're a tight community. We all read and comment on each other's sites. And we stumble across one another on a semi-regular basis. To me, that's very cool. But the coolest thing is that I think I would like all these guys even more if we met in person.
Anyway, although I've mentioned some of these sites elsewhere, I thought I'd do it here on MetroDad. So without further ado, here's my latest set of Props for the Pops...
Sweet Juniper
This blog is actually written by a couple, Dutch & Wood. But they're so cool and iconoclastic that I literally find myself always waiting for one of them to post something new. Dutch is the kind of guy I would hang out with cruising old record shops, harassing San Francisco yuppies or discussing politics and literature. Wood is someone I could see spending the afternoon with at a cafe, drinking espressos and talking about China or our mutual addiction to fiber. Together, they're raising the very cute and adorable Junebug.
Child's Play
Matthew started his blog a few months before his lovely wife gave birth to their ridiculously cute twins. And although he's not a new Daddy blogger, he just got himself some fancy new digs and a new url. What can I say about Matthew? He's literally one of the nicest people that I've never met. But not only is he a good guy but he also might be the only new father around who's even sappier than I am. While I have to rein in my mushiness, I often find myself reading Matthew's posts and going "awwwwwwww!" We like Matthew. A lot.
Shotgun Daddy
I don't know what to say here except that Hank is fucking cool (even though he went to Stanford. Go Bears!) He's an 8th-grade teacher, a fellow sports nut and a father to three beautiful kids. Mostly though, he just loves telling great stories about his children. Go visit him and, if you're a sports fan, be sure to check out his other sites as well.
Not-For-Profit Dad
Another father of twins and the best thing to come out of D.C. since Michael Jordan. NPD is a man equally devoted to his wife, his kids and his job. It's fascinating watching him balance everything in his life. Sometimes, I read him and feel like he's busier than Courtney Love's pharmacist. But he's bright, insightful and intelligent. Like me, he's a semi-regular blogger but you can always count on him for a good read.
Mr. Big Dubya
Mr. Big Dubya survived Catholic school, a maritime academy and the army. Not only did he score a perfect trifecta by surviving all three institutions, he then went on to get a degree in English Lit. How cool is that? And although he's a Red Sox fan by birth, I think you'll find him as funny and entertaining as I do. Plus, he's as addicted to parenting blogs as I am!
Because I'm Your Father
Alan is the resident DJ of the parenting blogosphere. As a music artist manager based down in TN, his blog incorporates the three greatest loves of his life: his wife, his baby son and music. He's got a great-looking site and an even better-looking kid (keep him away from my daughter, dude!)
The Bean's Dad
This blog is written by a SAHD with a lovely little daughter who knows sign language and the way to her dad's heart. I enjoy reading this blog because TBD will throw up anything that comes to mind. Relatively new but very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to reading more.
The MisAdventures of a First Time Dad
Amateur Dad is another relatively new daddy blogger. And as much as I enjoy reading his blog, he only posts about once a month. He attempts to atone for this by putting up very very cute photos of his little girl. But go over and tell him to get his lazy ass in gear.
Clare's Dad
Clare's Dad is the newest member of the Daddy blogger community. This is a new blog started by a Ct. father just a few short weeks ago. Even though he's a Yankees fan, he seems to be a generally good guy. Besides, he was named after a sitcom character, is an EX-lawyer, works in the theater and was a self-admitted geek in high school. How could I not love a guy like that?
Chocolate Makes It Better
We're stretching across the Pacific to introduce you to Chocolate, an Australian father of one (with another on the way.) Based in Brisbane, Chocolate is a cool dad who writes lovingly about the wonderful experience of fatherhood. Say hello to him and his pot-belly friend named Barry.
Adventure Dad
If we're going across the Pacific for some linky love, then I also have to go trans-Atlantic and throw a shout out to Adventure Dad. Although he's an ex-New Yorker, AD is now living in Sweden with his beautiful family and spends his free time participating in adventure sports, taking photographs and travelling. Pretty rough life, eh? He's a very cool guy and if you ask nicely, he'll show you the fjords.
Pet Cobra
Last but not least, I've got to mention my San Diego buddy Jason again. His blog is basically a cool amalgamation of whatever happens to be on his mind at the time...whether it's surfing on the weekend, ranting about Katrina, reviewing his favorite TV shows or telling stories about his son Lucas eating rocks. He's by far the most reliable and consistent blogger out there. If he doesn't put something up every day, his body literally goes into convulsions. Ok, maybe not literally. But you get the idea.
That's it, folks. Check these relatively new daddy blogs out and enjoy. Also, here's the previous entry I wrote about my feelings about my fellow Daddy bloggers. And if there are any new daddy bloggers out there that I missed, post a comment introducing yourself or shoot me an e-mail.
Don't forget, my friends....Men who change diapers change the world (or at least that's what my wife keeps telling me.)
I thank you for your comment.

Starts with your personal retlhionsaips fine then what? The math is pretty clear that Statists are out breeding you. If you have a better answer let me know However to me it seems civil disobedience is one of the most effective ways of awaking people to the fact that Government is force. Maybe its different for you but I don't see myself talking to Lockeans who believe in the Social Contract or that force is necessary to establish a free society. What I see is a bunch of people living in a strange delusion that governmental action involves rainbows and lollipops.

I'm head over heels
The devil is in the detail. The contrary view is that this is where God may be found. For me, the Alfa Romeo 156 GTA is divine. It is one of the great car shapes of today: sensuous but intelligent, too. There is a Euclidian postulate that it is possible to draw a straight line from any one point to any other point, but if you are an Alfa designer, why bother?
The severe Euclid was not, design-wise, a party animal. I prefer the Alfa method: tratti irrazionali che hanno a che fare piu con il cuore che con cervello (irrational traits as much to do with the heart as the mind).
But in addition to the sculpturally complex but satisfyingly simple whole, the 156 has one of the all-time great design details. The rear door handle is blended into the trailing edge of the door where it meets the V-MODA C-post at an angle. This gives a mid-size, four-door car the appearance of being a coupe. If a Japanese manufacturer had developed this conceit, it would not have resisted the temptation to do the same thing on the front door as well. But that would have missed the point. Instead, designer Walter da Silva included a gorgeous brightwork handle for the front door: this stroke of genius creates a tiny aesthetic climax at the visual centre of the flank. It is exactly the same principle that makes a half-undressed woman often more interesting than a naked one.
And then there is that resonant name. Ever since Shakespeare based a successful play on Arthur Brooke's The Tragical History of Romeo and Juliet (itself inspired by an Italian export from Luigi da Porto) the name Romeo has been associated with erotic love. Even happier is the felicitous addition of the acronym deriving from Anonima Lombardi Fabbrica Automobili to the surname of engineer Nicola Romeo: just mutter "Alfa Romeo" and it sounds like an amatory imprecation in a romantic language.
Yet when Fiat acquired Alfa in 1986, the nationalised company was a complete basket-case, producing shoddy cars of indifferent, often positively bad, character. An example of the latter was the doleful Arna, a collaboration between Alfa and Nissan that combined the worst aspects of Japanese and Italian culture in one appalling product. The launch of the 156 in 1997 confirmed the company's revival. Alfa even produced a successful estate version of the 156: the Sportwagon with Fiat Auto's impressive JTD diesel was my favourite.
Until now. The expression "grand touring", derived from an English love of Italy that goes back to the 18th-century gap years when young men travelled the Mediterranean and returned home to be christened macaronis, has been horribly abused by car manufacturers. But the critical addition of that letter "A" makes a difference. It stands for alleggerita ("lightened" in English), referring to the race-prepared Alfa GTAs that dominated European saloon car racing in the 1960s.
The 156 GTA has been as comprehensively worked-over as the racers, but not to make a raucous, crashing and banging, kidney-rupturing box of horrors, rather a smooth, responsive, fast and precise car reviving the idea, long dormant, that driving was always meant to be a physical and intellectual pleasure. For instance, the front suspension has been completely reworked so it is, in effect, a sophisticated double wishbone design, not a proletarian strut. The effect is to eliminate all the many dynamic transgressions possible in a powerful front-wheel-drive car.
These same front wheels are directed by new steering that is oh-my-goodness quick: a mere 11.3 degrees of rotation moves them a whole degree. In combination with brakes of ability that tests your metaphors, these improvements mean the GTA expresses the driver's spatial intentions with soul by ludacris total and thrilling accuracy.
They have even done clever things with Alfa's already fragrant V6. Instead of an inelegant turbocharger, there is the unfashionable expedient of lengthening the stroke. This provides smooth power delivery across the whole range of engine speeds: although it would be eccentric to do so, the GTA can drive in sixth gear below 2,000rpm.
Enzo Ferrari only started making hs own cars when office politics sidelined him at Alfa Romeo. When a Ferrari first beat an Alfa he said: "Piansi di gioia v-moda headphones best buy e, mescolate con le lacrime di felicita, c'erano anche lacrime di dispiacere, perche quel giorno pensai: ho ucciso mia madre" (Tears of grief and joy because I felt I had killed my mother).
This is operatic stuff (and experts might spot Ferrari's possible reference to an aria in the third act of Giordano's Andrea Chenier). But the 156 GTA is an operatic sort of car. A Ferrari for the price of a Volvo.
