Who Else Is Going To The Race This Weekend (DaddyTips Road Trip)
DaddyTips will not be alone when we go to the race this weekend. (That’s the Crown Royal Presents The John Wayne Walding 400 DaddyTips Road Trip to Indianapolis, for those of you keeping score at home.) Here is a list of the other bloggers/writers/influencers/nifty folks (that’s the technical term) who will also be in attendance:
Gunaxin (What up Phil!)
Bleacher Report
Brash
Jersey Girl Sports (Check out the Derek Jeter video on their homepage. It’s enough to make a Yankee fan cry.)
Guys Gab
InDeepH2O
DaddyTips (OK, duh, you knew that one already)
Black Sports Online
NASCAR Race Mom (What up Z!)
Man Jr
Fast Lane Magazine (What up DJ!)
Male Standard
If we’ve met and didn’t say “what up” to you here, it’s only because we’re getting old and forgot, or because we didn’t have your name at the time this post was written. Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and making new friends.
Whoo-hoo! Remember to check out our Twitter feed starting tomorrow, Friday, for updates on all the excitement.
Crown Royal Presents The John Wayne Walding 400 [DaddyTips Road Trip]
DaddyTips is pleased to announce that we will be attending the Crown Royal Presents The John Wayne Walding 400 powered by BigMachineRecords.com at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. That’s right — Road Trip! (We get to leave the house again. We’re excited.)
Teenager Tom White Takes Selfie With Paul McCartney And Warren Buffett
A teenager named Tom White took a selfie with Paul McCartney And Warren Buffett. Mostly it’s him standing in front of them while the pair sits on a bench. But it’s still pretty cool.

Here’s the original Instagram shot, which Tom titled “Chillin with my homies”.
I’m more than a little bit done with the word selfie. However, Tom White wins the Interwebs for the week with this shot, and briefly redeems the term “selfie”. Good for him.

Brooklyn Decker’s Funny Tweet About Pregnancy
Brooklyn Decker tweeted something funny about pregnancy.

Pregnancy sounds awesome if for no other reason than to sneak up on unsuspecting gents in a bar & grinding on them "Surprise! Full of baby!"

Note: As far as we know she was just making a joke, not an announcement. Just so we’re clear.
Also, for what it’s worth, Ms. Decker’s tweets are often amusing, and she seems like a nice person. For example, here’s an article about her involvement with the 2014 Special Olympics.

Even More Tweets, Snoop Dogg Edition
Snoop Dogg, who I thought had changed his name to Snoop Lion but maybe he changed it back, leads off our list of tweets we tumbled across on Twitter.

Seems even Snoop Dee-oh Double Gee has “date night with the wifey.” (That rhymes! Go me.)

A Lady Gaga concert was re-scheduled to accommodate a potential Game 6 between the Washington Wizards and the Indiana Pacers. People who bought tickets for the Gaga show were/are understandably pissed. On the lighter side, some of the tweets from Gaga’s “Little Monsters” are kinda funny. (Source: Pro Basketball Talk)

NY1 anchor Pat Kiernan is rightly beloved by New Yorkers. Despite the fact that Kirernan originally hails from Canada, he is very much a part of NYC, appearing in The Avengers and (spoiler alert) The Amazing Spider-Man 2. (As himself, not The Rhino or Doctor Octopus.) Apparently he was almost on The Sopranos. New York Magazine’s Vulture (another Spider-Man villain that Pat Kiernan does not play in The Amazing Spider-Man 2) has the story.

This photo, by the way, is the most serious I’ve ever seen him look.

Tweets Tweets and More Tweets (Tweets)
Tweets. Tweets. Twitter! It’s all about The Twitter. Except when it’s all about The Facebook. Or The Google. Those are The Big Three, I think. Oh! The YouTube. So much for (un)holy trinities.

Anyway, here are some tweets we stumbled across that we decided to share with you.
How this works, parents using Bing to get a free tablet for their child’s classroom, I have no idea. But Microsoft has done stranger things so we figured it was worth sharing.

Nathan Rabin is a funny guy. Also a very good writer. Pick up his books, any of them. They’re good.
Most of the traffic for my THE FOUR SEASONS Forgotbuster comes from Google searches for "middle-aged, sexually exciting stir-fry."

Apparently I follow Jimmy Fallon on Twitter. (I badly need to look at my Twitter account. By the way, are you following me @brettsinger? You should. I’m very interesting.) Anyway, here Mr. Fallon tweets a rather kindly worded review of Seth Rogen’s latest film, Neighbors. The tone matches Fallon’s general image, which is that he seems like a nice guy.
Congrats @Sethrogen. I just watched Neighbors – hilarious and also sweet – best movie I've seen in a while. Well done all around.

And here’s a photo of Jimmy Fallon, because why not.

The Tweets That Ate The Bronx
Eventually I’ll run out of semi-clever titles for collections of tweets that I’ve recently found interesting. For now you’ll have to bear with me as I use stuff like The Tweets That Ate The Bronx. Which would be scary if it actually happened.

Anyway…
Here’s some stuff found on Twitter that we deemed worthy of being included in a DaddyTips Tweet Roundup. Yee-ha! (Get it? Round-up? Like rodeo? Yee-ha? Oh forget it.)
I have a lot more to say about this than I have time to right now, but here’s the simple version. There is nothing wrong with little kids using iPads or other technology. They also need to develop fine motor skills. So for someone to say “hey, they don’t need to know how to tie their shoes as long as they can play Flappy Bird” is pretty stupid. (Note: that is not a direct quote, I’m making a point.)

Orange is the New Black is back soon. Here’s the new trailer. I haven’t quite finished Season 1, but so far it’s one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen. Not remotely kid-friendly, in case you were wondering. But very very good. Here’s the trailer for Season 2.

The good folks at Babble.com ask, “Could this text message program really prevent teen pregnancy?” Um… maybe? I think the best way to prevent teen pregnancy is sexual education programs. But maybe this way helps too.

None of these links is related to the content above, but we liked all of the suggestions, most of which contain the word “Bronx”. One even involves Tim Tebow. Because when you think about it, everything is about Tim Tebow. Tebow seems to have changed his dog’s name from Bronco to Bronx at some point. OK.)
