As a parent, I want my kids to have an optimistic outlook, and one that has hope, and that makes sense, where good does triumph over evil and it's not cynical, and it's not snarky.

I am a geek dad, believe me. I've got my iPad with me; I've got my iPhone 4; I've got my Xbox. I love technology and I want to feel like I'm living in the future, and these devices help me feel that way.

You've got to connect with the things that you love.

I'm a middle-aged dad, which means I have no social time or life to speak of, and so I connect with my buddies with my Xbox.
