Nathan Barry replied to Rob Keisacker's discussion 'Forum Games: Who Said That'"Well, if you look at the age of the records, you can tell it's been on the back of mind for a while!
Thanks for having a look Rob, maybe I should add the one I'm not sure about here!"
Nathan Barry replied to Rob Keisacker's discussion 'Forum Games: Who Said That'"I suppose it is, although I kinda thought Randy's clue was basically telling us the answer! I'll get a new one up as soon as I think of one!"

Nathan Barry replied to Matt Middleton's discussion 'Cloth Diapers'"Running free is a risky plan, but worked OK when she was a bit older as long as the potty was close by. We also have mainly wooden floors so it was easier to clean up any accidents. We did line dry them in the warmer months, but we found that they…"
Profile Information
- What are some of your geeky hobbies?
- Full time Dad, part time designer & coder, not much time left for anything else.
I worked for the BBC for over 10 years, designing websites for programmes as diverse as The Teletubbies and Horizon, and looking after the /science, /history and /languages portals. I left in 2007 to become a full time Dad when my daughter was 1 and I've never looked back.
I first discovered Geekdad in 2009 after stumbling across the blog via a Star Wars related post (of course) and found a fabulous bunch of like minded people. A few months later, Ken put out a call for new writers and I thought, "Why not?, I'm a Dad and I'm a Geek!". I was amazed and honoured when they asked me to join in the fun.
In my non-parenting moments, I helped to create the Magic Belles, a fun new group of friends for little girls, with my better half and her business partner. I've built the website and we're currently developing a fun musical app for iOS.

Caine's #cardboard challenge

We made a couple of cardboard arcade games and took them along to a local mini harvest festival. 10p a go on each of them, with a fun pass available (12 games for a pound), and we raised over £20 for the imagination foundation.
Top score on the Butterfly Bowling won a Lego Brickmaster book (which we acquired from the Build a World Map event on London's Southbank over the summer) and top score on Hamhaugh Island won a set of Mario figures I was sent as a sample…
