I’m generally not a big one to spend a lot of time here talking about DadLabs itself. We are here to talk about parenting, more specifically fatherhood, not about the state of online video or life at a startup. We’ve toyed from time to time with the idea of creating a “behind the scenes” blog to talk about the complexities of production, and ups and downs of trying to get a company started in an entirely new “industry,” but I think too much of that gets a little self reflexive.

All that said, sometimes I have to share some good news. Starting tomorrow, we will be filming segments for a month of shows to be sponsored by Babies R Us. Way back when, when Brad and Troy and I were spending all our free time away from our teaching jobs dreaming about what DadLabs might be, we always thought that the ideal sponsor would be Babies R Us. So here we go. I hope that we can deliver the goods.

It’s also nice to get a little notice in the press. Daisy Whitney has emerged as a powerful voice in the world of online video — she writes for TVWeek and NewTeeVee, and her video podcast appears on the ABC network of sites, and she has consistently covered DadLabs. Her most recent column for TVWeek is the best yet. She picks DadLabs as one of the web series most likely to succeed. Digg this puppy like crazy!

To make Daisy look like a genius, we certainly need your help. Keep spreading the word. Use the invite tab on the website to bring your friends in. Let’s put this thing over the top.
