Geeky dad bringing up baby in blog form?

December 20, 2008 11:39 AM

Help me find this blog where a geeky father documents the first few months of his daughter's life in hilarious detail!

I read this multiple-installment article/blog YEARS ago.

- Probably contains Chronicles or Saga in the title
- Hilarious
- Geeky father
- Newborn daughter
- Talks about the proper scientific term for the blob of amniotic material that is plucked from her nether regions, possibly ending in "-iculum"
- Also talks about...poo.
- I wanna say this only covers the first nine months of her life. Maybe nine weeks. Something like that.

Can anyone remember this? Is it still around anywhere?

Best answer: Almost certainly Jeff Vogel's stories. He eventually published them in a book:

Poo Bomb: Tales of Parental Terror

Vogel originally published his stories on talk.bizarre

Response by poster: You're both SO wonderful and correct. I didn't believe it was Vogel based on the Amazon description until I saw the ironycentral URL, which immediately clicked. Thank you!!!

You found what you were looking for, but here's a suggestion: if you like Jeff Vogel, check out dadgonemad, a blog where the guy writes about his life, kids, hot wife, vasectomies, any anything else in hilarious detail.

Wow, you mean there's more than one? I would have thought the Trixie Update was the one. There are now toolkits for doing this yourself.
