A Millennial Parent’s Guide to kids AI Education

theincredidad May 13, 2025 0 Comments
AI Education for a Modern Parenting Revolution The washing machine freed our grandparents from endless labor. Now AI education is doing the same for us and our kids—opening up possibilities we're just beginning to understand. I've been thinking a lot about how AI is fundamentally reshaping childhood. And you know what? AI for our generation is exactly what the washing machine and dishwasher…

Superhero Training

theincredidad January 26, 2020 0 Comments
THE HIDDEN BENEFITS Real heroes don't get superpowers from a spider bite. Gamma rays don't turn scientists into jolly green giants. And super-men don't crash-land on our planet. It just doesn't happen in real life. Real superheroes have to train every day, in order to hone their skills. That's just another reason why Batman has always been my favorite hero. Super-heroism didn't happen to him, he…

"Well I'll tell you something, this is no longer a vacation...it's a quest. It's a quest for fun! I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun!

You probably figured we’d be halfway across the country by now, huh? Surprise! We are still in the same state we started, only eight hours North. We wanted to visit Bex’s side of the family for a few days. It's been a lot of fun. Of course I love spending time with family but I always look forward to a day in San Francisco. It’s on my list of Top 10 Favorite Cities in the world. Here’s…

A House Is Not A Home

theincredidad August 15, 2019 0 Comments
We moved out of our apartment today. After weeks of packing, trashing, and cleaning, this was a really big deal for us. Obviously it was not as big of a deal for our landlord who never showed up for our move-out appointment. Martha, if you’re reading this, we left the keys and garage remote on the kitchen counter. Good bye and good luck! Maybe you remember me describing our apartment two years…

Simple Distractions

theincredidad July 3, 2019 2 Comments
IncreiMom and I like to treat Boy Wonder to the fine dining experiences of Red Robin, IHOP, and occasionally Arby's. It's really a great deal. He shares off of my plate, which cuts calories for me. Then I burn off whatever I am able to shovel in my mouth (inside ten seconds) by chasing him around the restaurant after he declares "All done!". I don’t even feel guilty because it's dinner and a…

Dance Class With IncrediDad and Boy Wonder

theincredidad April 7, 2019 2 Comments
Up until a month ago, I thought a pirouette was a kind of cookie. Turns out, it is a dance move. You see, Boy Wonder has been taking Ballet Class once a week and we are both learning so much. For example, you wouldn’t believe how many ballet terms sound food related: Sauté (so-Tay): please sauté that chicken with peppers and onions! Battement (Bot-Mah): I know I’ve ordered this from my…

I’m Alfred, Not Batman

theincredidad February 27, 2019 0 Comments
As a father, and as a human being, I've learned to take the good with the bad. For example, it's a good thing that Boy Wonder has learned the word please. He knows it's proper use; "Peanut Butter peeze.", "Binky please.", "Money please." Wait a second, what was that? The flip side is that he knows how to weaponize the word too. "Phone please! Pleeeeeeease. PLEASE!" But he's just so damn cute, how…

Top 3 Unexpected Ways That Fatherhood Changed My Life

theincredidad November 19, 2018 2 Comments
When we first found out we were going to be parents it seemed like everyone kept repeating the same thing to us. "It will change your life forever." Okay, yeah, sure it will. You dont even have a human kid. You're a dog mom! It seemed reasonable that something like creating new life would turn ours upside down but no one ever explained how. There were obvious changes like lack of sleep, more toys…

theincredidad November 5, 2018 1 Comments
Lessons in Incredible Leadership are back! This week I'll be doing a series on leadership and how it relates to parenthood. Today's topic is love and patience. Patience has a calming effect on everyone under its influence. IncrediDads, Super-Sidekicks, and IncrediMoms alike can be soothed when we all practice patience. Cranky people aren't always super- villains, sometimes they just need us to…
