San Leandro, CA – August 5, 2010 – OSIsoft, LLC, the leader in real-time data infrastructure solutions, today announced that blogger and engineer Ken Denmead, author of Geek Dad: Awesomely Geeky Projects and Activities for Dads and Kids to Share, will appear at the opening reception of the OSIsoft vCampus Live! 2010 event for a special signing. Each attendee will receive a special conference edition of the book and meet the author during the cocktail reception.
Geek Dad is the ultimate DIY project guide for techie dads raising kids in their own geeky image—and it fits perfectly with the theme of OSIsoft vCampus Live! 2010: “Where PI Geeks Meet…To Turn Challenges into Solutions.”
A professional engineer and editor of the popular GeekDad blog on wired.com, Ken Denmead has created an idea-packed guide that aims to help dads and kids together enjoy the magic of playtime and tap into the possibilities of their imagination. Geek Dad provides geek dads (and moms) with expert guidance on how they and their child can:
- Fly a night-time kite ablaze with lights or launch a video camera with balloons
- Construct the "Best Slip n' Slide Ever," a guaranteed thrill ride
- Build a working lamp with LEGO bricks and CDs
- Create a customized comic strip or your own board game
- Make geeky crafts like cyborg jack-o'-lanterns or Ethernet cuff links
Denmead lives near San Francisco with his wife and two sons, whom he describes as “both geeks in training.”
