Episode 020: Deal With It

This week’s episode covers the following stories on 8bitdad.com for the week leading up to March 6th, 2012: PQotW: How Do You Protect Your Kids From Bullying? / Anti-Smoking Ad With Father Controversial For Bottle-Feeding / Fallout: Huggies – Truth In Advertising / App Review (and Code Giveaway!): Baby Pic for iPhone / Fatherhood On the Go, Part 1: Welcome to the Adventure

Parents always want a way to remind their kids that they love them when they go off to school everyday, and for graphic designer Rob Kimmel, the answer was on his desk: Post Its. Kimmel, an east coaster (Chicago, New York, Massachusetts - holla!), started putting Post Its in his son’s lunch box when he was in kindergarten. Originally, the Post Its quizzed his son, Ben, on things like numbers and spelling. But as time went on, Rob began a game that had Ben, now almost 9 years old, finishing full sentences and pictures.

We were lucky enough to get both Rob and Ben Kimmel to talk to us about the idea behind the art, as well as some of their musical interests, and one of our favorite topics, Star Wars.
