Let's show these people the power of parent bloggers!!!

In this season of difficult political choices, here's a ballot that's easy to cast -- vote DadLabs! We've been nominated by the Yahoo Video editorial team for a "Golden Player" award for Best New Uploader of 2008 (we also made the short list for the Webbys -- more on that later). In true internet style, the winner will be determined by loosely monitored and anonymous voting. So let's get all Broward County and start hanging those chads. Voting is super easy, doesn't require registration and only takes a few seconds. But you do have to vote before March 21st.

Remember, a vote for DadLabs is a vote for beer! And also fatherhood.

You've got to see the video that we posted today on DadLabs. Pure internet TV -- hilarious snarky mockery of a children's classic, plus a dog attack. What could be better?

Buzz People,

Despite the obvious damage it could do to their brands, a couple of sponsors have been brave enough to support the videos we produce at DadLabs. Last week we had Baby Bjorn, next week it's Graco, the week after comes Sittercity.com.

If you have the time, swing by the a site (www.dadlabs.com) and click around a bit, you know, puff up the numbers.

We'll also announce a book deal with a really cool, smaller publisher next week. I'm really excited about this, but have no idea how we will find the time for a book while producing four shows a week. Back to the late-night screen sessions for daddy clay.

Do let me know what you think of DadLabs.

A while back I posed a question to the community -- Do you think it's cool to serve beer at kids birthday parties? I got a number of hilarious responses that we incorporated into one of our video segments over at DadLabs.

The segment runs a little long because I wanted to get all the great comments in.

You can check it out on DadLabs.com -- it will be featured Tuesday 11/13.

Thanks Momo Fali and Suburban Oblivion!

We at DadLabs are pretty pumped about signing with the cool online marketing/distribution outfit For Your Imagination. You can see an interview with their CEO Paul Kontonis on www.dadlabs.com and learn more about the deal at www.foryourimagination.com

The online video space is the wild wild west, so it's nice to have a partner that has a reputation for actually getting things done.

We completely relaunch our site under FYI in just three weeks. You'll be able to get our video on our site, iTunes, over ten video sharing sites and on an on. Check us out now then come back after the 29th for the full "before and after" deal.
