We start by talking about the Apple Watch and new MacBooks because we're dads who are also nerds. Good news Minecraft fans! Mojang will soon be shipping its own Java with Minecraft so you don't need Oracle's tarted up version. If you want your kids to learn programming and other stuff through Minecraft, check out MinecraftEDU which provides support services from schools to use Minecraft and LearnToMod which is an introduction to programming mods for kids. Lex then explains Kidz Bop which is either a great way to introduce kids to music they otherwise shouldn't listen to or a damn nightmare, depending on your point of view. Richard Cheese's covers are better but not kid-friendly. The Jonathan Coulton cover of Baby Got Back is not for kids, either. Can't Touch This is probably OK. To continue the stream of consciousness of this episode, we mention the next season of Community and Daredevil on Netflix and a bunch of other stuff. But check out this Daredevil trailer. Looks good. Hank is reading The Martian even though it has a lot of swear words in it and will probably go see the movie. Somehow we get back to the Apple Watch but this time talk about Every Mother Counts and Jon's connection to it and Christy Turlington Burns who has an Apple Watch and you don't. Our thanks this week to Bluum. Bluum sends a monthly box of five full-sized high-value products that are perfectly suited to your child's age, gender and stage of development. The retail value of the products always exceeds the monthly subscription fee. They only send products that are relevant to your child right now because you can customize what you receive. A baby needs three things: Mom, dad and Bluum. Go to bluum.com/turning and use promo code "CAR40" for 40 percent off the first month of all plans.
