My Geek Baby

My Geek Baby is a blog for parents and their smart babies. This site is not dedicated to all aspects of parenting, so a topic such as “the poop on potty training” may be covered but don’t expect us to advise you about stroller types or to debate about mommies who work outside the home versus mommies who work from home; we’re here to talk technology, science, learning, and whatever strikes our fancy.

If you’d like to advertise with or would like to trade links, we’d love to hear from you. Let us know at mygeekbaby@yahoo.com

Who is behind My Geek Baby? Jake, a network engineer/Linux aficionado and, Lauren, a managing editor for a magazine for cancer doctors.
