History
GeekDad was started on March 15, 2007 by Wired editor Chris Anderson. Anderson was inspired by a weekend of fun and adventure when his love for R/C planes and his son's love for Lego came together and they built and programmed a UAV driven by the Lego Mindstorms NXT. Wanting to share this experience with other geek dads, he bought the geekdad.com domain, then set up a Wired blog. As readership grew, he realized he needed some help and sent out a call for writers. Anderson brought Ken Denmead on board to serve as the GeekDad leader. Denmead then brought on more writers and has grown GeekDad to a well-rounded blog with a focus on things that geeks can share with their own children.

Joy
by: Gay DadCareful what you're wishing for
You just might get your heart's desire
Is what you want exactly what you need
I don't think so
'Cos you and I
We know what's going on
You and I
We got the viva las blues
Germ free attitudes in my food
Really make me horny
Looking out for God and money
That's evolution for you
You and I
We know what's going on
You won't see me cry
I'm gonna take you to the other side
For a little joy
A little joy
For a little joy
Want a little joy
Careful what you're living for
You just might set your house on fire
Is what you want exactly what you need?
I don't think so
'Cos you and I
We know what's going on
You and I
Gonna take you to the other side
For a little joy
A little joy
For a little joy
Want a little joy
Though your head is out of style
You know there's really nothing to it
Feeling really messed around
But you cannot put your finger on it
No one laughs and no one cries
No one want to reach and touch the sky
A little joy
For a little joy
Want a little joy
Can you feel it?
When you feel the night come on
Can you feel it?
Yeah I think it's coming through
Can you feel it?
Yeah I feel it coming on
Can you feel it?
Yeah I feel it coming through
You and I
We know what's going on
You won't see me cry
See you on the other side
For a little joy
A little joy
For a little joy
Want a little joy
