have no idea what’s in the water this week, but it has been a banner week for press. We at Duck Duck Moose are over the moon about all the exciting coverage (not your typical week to be sure).
Here are some of the exciting tidbits:
Geek Dad on Wired.com
One of the first blogs to [...]

have decided to add a new feature to our blog called “Weekend Round-up” where I can post all the items/design I have been drooling over during the week. This week’s focus is design for children.
Little Animals:
I am a sucker for sustainable handmade dolls — the more character they have, the more I love [...]

Today’s Word of the Week is:
cracktastic.
Pronunciation: \ˈkrak-tas-tik\
As in: Peanut Butter Pows are so cracktastic that when I make the (exceedingly) stupid decision to purchase them I often find that I am unable to ingest any other food until the box is empty.
At least they have 11 essential minerals and vitamins, so I got [...]

K, I admit it, I am obsessed. You may ask what I am NOT obsessed with and that is actually a very fair question. It is a professional hazard to covet all things beautiful. This time, however, it isn’t a trendy piece of ridonculously expensive furniture, but…and I am almost ashamed to admit this…chickens.
My [...]

From the look of the polished exterior, expansive gardens and painstakingly perfect interior design of 3450 Washington Street, one would never guess that a mere few months ago the 8,368 foot mansion was just a shell of a house. The Beaux Arts-style Presidio Heights mansion is now on sale for a pittance of 19 million [...]

spent two fantastic days at the Dust or Magic AppCamp in Asilomar. I talked about “How We Turned a Nursery Rhyme into a Best Selling App” (check out our 2009 presentation), and spent two enlightening days with some of the best and brightest in children’s interactive media – child development experts, educators, other [...]

am trying to get my blog mojo back after a little bit of a hiatus. I have lots of good things to write about this month — Caroline attended the annual Dust or Magic Conference co-hosted by Warren Buckleitner of Children’s Technology Review where we presented our new app Fish School (for iPhone) [...]

Mother Goose is a favorite in our house. Both my two- and four-year-old girls keep taking out our Mother Goose nursery rhyme books, and can recite their favorites. I’ve realized that nursery rhymes fill each and every day of preschoolers. When putting on shoes, it’s “One shoe on and one shoe off, [...]

Baby shower finds
I love Etsy (I mean, who doesn’t?) I recently read an article about how it was started as a hobby by a guy who wanted to provide his crafty-type friends a place to post their beautiful creations — and then it grew and grew beyond his wildest expectations. Now you can pretty much [...]

K, I have to admit that this is a bit of a shameless plug, but we are kind of over the moon excited about being nominated for the iPod/iPhone Developer of the Year Award! (!!!!) If you have enjoyed our iPhone apps, please consider voting for us online (click the button below to vote). It [...]

We have had a lot going on at Duck Duck Moose in the past two months. C and M’s older daughter recently turned 4 years old (how fast time goes) — Happy birthday Elizabeth! Michael has been burning the candle at both ends by juggling his job at a start-up, concerts with his trio and [...]

am *finally* getting around to blogging about some of the beautiful things I saw at the Renegade Craft Fair last month. We have been flat out crazed the past month finishing up our new Old MacDonald iPhone app for kids and that’s my excuse (or at least that’s what I am going with anyway). [...]

wo years ago when my closest friend was pregnant with her daughter, another friend and I decided to host her baby shower. It is a recognized fact among all my friends that I am kind of a stickler for details and I don’t really know how to do anything half way (I once spend 4 [...]

Brought to you by the creators of Wheels on the Bus (that’s us!), a top educational iPhone app for kids which was featured in The New York Times, USAToday, San Francisco Chronicle, Discovery Channel, Daily Candy Kids, Wired.com and MSNBC.com, we are happy to announce that we have just released our second interactive musical adventure [...]
