Top Free Apps for Dads

If your dad ever offered the advice “a penny saved is a penny earned” then these free apps will be right up his alley.

Pampers Hello Baby Pregnancy Calendar

This one is for all the fathers-to-be out there. This app has a three dimensional rendering of the baby as it appears each week. It also includes health information and great advice like: “You may notice that everyone, from your mother-in-law to complete strangers, feels compelled to offer advice…try to take them in stride, and don’t feel the need to explain your decisions.”

Take my advice and download this app if you want to know what is going on inside the mom-to-be in your life.

MLB.com At Bat

If you have kids, you are not going to be able to watch every baseball game that you want to. This app gives you all the scores and stats for every game so you can keep up with the guys (and Kali; go O’s!) around the water cooler.

How To Tie a Tie

If I have a son, and we are not all wearing shiny unisex spacesuits in the future, then I will need to learn how to tie a tie so I can pass this information on. I have downloaded this app and have begun practicing my Half-Windsor and Plattsburgh knots.

8,500+ Drink & Cocktail Recipes

Whether your father is drinking with you or because of you, there is a cocktail in here that is perfect for the occasion. You can select the ingredients you have on hand to find options, or peruse the massive selection to help you make your shopping list for your next trip to the liquor store. This app also has a feature that allows you to shake your iDevice to get a random drink. Don’t try this after you have already had a couple; if you do Small Dog can repair your cracked screen.

Cheers to all the Dads out there!

  • Need to Charge Multiple iPhones or iPods?

    This day in age a vast majority of us have iPods–and now many of you have iPhones. As much as we love our gadgets, it can sometimes be a pain to charge one at a time, so which one do you pick?

    Leave it to Griffin Technology to solve that issue–one that I am surprised was not figured out sooner! The “PowerDock 2 Charging Cradle for iPod and iPhone”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73013 will let you charge two iPhones, two iPods or an iPod and an iPhone at once! It can sit on your desk, beside, by the front door, wherever you will remember to charge it. This gadget won’t hook up to your Mac–it has no ports other than the AC on the back–but I like the fact that you don’t have to have everything plugged into your Mac at all times.

    I also like the “Griffin PowerDock 2”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73013 because the thought of having my iPod or iPhone in the dock is more calming to me than just leaving my Apple gadget on the desk (in case it fell off–iPhone screen replacements are expensive!). A $39.99 price point seems fair to charge your devices to me! Most single iPod/iPhone chargers are about $19.99-$29.99 and this way you don’t have to worry about buying a sync cable as well. It’s also made out of brushed aluminum, which matches the MacBook Pros and iMacs very nicely (which is obviously super important!).
