iBaz

But he's so cute!? Baz is asleep and apparently I'm not allowed to wake him up just so I can heroically soothe him back to sleep again. Even though I'm convinced he's loving my Leonard Cohen covers and the sudden revival of Chris de Burgh. Let's just say that Baz won't be paying any ferrymen anything anytime soon, at least until he's on the other side. I'm assuming that melancholic is better than just colic and that these eighties sonic treasure will stave off any possible sport related tendencies he may have. Evil friends have begun sending hockey-themed children's books, but they will just make great new fuel for my book burnings.

We've been picked up for another season! I have to confess that I had some serious doubts that you'd be seeing our shiny happy faces for that fifth season of Atlantis. Let's hope it's the best one yet! Speaking of which, word on the street...and by that I mean the forums (because I never get as far as the street)...is that Stargate Atlantis is up for a People's Choice Award! So what are you sitting around reading this drivel for...get over there and vote your little SG hearts out we're in the best Sci Fi category! All I know is that this could mean that Baz and I (okay Jane too since she's got the milk) could be meeting Queen Latifah...We love that woman...a funny cool actor rap-artist extraordinaire...which is exatly what I plan on being when I grow up!

Oh, and while you're at it...could you please have a look at heynielsen and giving "The Dog's Breakfast" some help on the charts! It's coming up to Christmas and what better way to spend the holiday season than with a good clean yuletide murder. Whoopi Goldberg certainly seemed to like the sound of it when I spoke with her on her radio show "Wake up with Whoopi"...and just for the record, that is the nicest team of producers and on-air personalities that I've ever had the pleasure of waking up at 5 in the morning for! For those of you "out of the zone"...as in the entire rest of the world, all I can say is I'm sorry but the distributors tell us that they're not planning on getting the "international" "A Dog's Breakfast" DVD's out until the "first quarter of 2008"...in the mean time it seems that people on the "other side of the pond" have been having a rip-roaring time pirating our puppy. I was amazed to see that on one site alone it's been downloaded over 600 times! Wouldn't it have been great if all those people were just able to buy a DVD locally? (Don't get me started on that DVD region-ing thing!) Oh well, let's hope that when it finally does get released "internationally" all those little pirates rush out to get their own copy...you know, for all those super-dandy extras we've crammed on there!

"Starcrossed" episode concepts went out to SciFi a couple of weeks ago, and we've met up with all the local unions about how to shoot this thing on our little web-budget. Things could be warming up for the end of January! The plan is to write and shoot 10 short vignettes that set up the wild, weird and wacky world of "Starcrossed" and see if anyone cares to watch. From there, if we've glued enough eyeballs to those, we'll either continue with 10 more webisodes and/or bring "Starcrossed" to television. Fingers (star) crossed!

I finish shooting "Helen" this weekend with a nice moody scene alongside Goran Visnic (who is a huge Stargate Fan I think I may have mentioned...how cool is that!?) and then it's back and forth to Toronto for the next couple of months while I shoot "Splice" with Adrian Brody and Sarah Polley. It's being directed by one of my oldest and best friends Vincenzo Natali and producer Steve Hoban. Another cool factor (other than getting to work with old friends again!) is that the film is being executive produced by none other than Guillermo del Toro! When I grow up I'd like to be Hell Boy... as well as a funny cool actor rap-artist extraordinare (maybe extraterrestrial?) ;-)

Thanks for putting up with the silence of the Baz! Hopefully I'll get better and sneaking in time for some more blogging!

D!

5th season! Yay! Written by merlynne on 2008-01-10 23:26:28 Hi all, new member here   Just want to say my 15 year old daughter and I are huge fans of SG1 and SGA since we first started watching when my daughter was 4. We have purchased every single Season available (all of SG1: 10 boxes!) and all available to date of SGA (3 boxes). We are awaiting the release of A Dog's Breakfast (NZ - Region 4). Anything we can do from our end to speed this process up?   Congrats on the Award. I didn't know about the site prior to it closing for this year but will be voting for you guys next year   Also, so good to hear Jane's breastfeeding Baz - I'm convinced that's why my daughter has a cast-iron stomach and *not* got my food intolerances!

SGA is the BEST Written by trekkeigirlt on 2008-01-09 15:44:03 Hi! I am a newbie who can't even spell her own name!! Anywho I just wanted to congratulate SGA on their big win last night. I watched to PCA's just to see you guys win, I knew you would!  P.S. your baby is adorable (I've got three boys myself although they are a little older hehe) and your dog is awesome!

congrats on the people's choice Written by emessar on 2008-01-08 22:25:13 I just saw the 2 second acceptance for the People's Choice Award! Too bad it was so very short. Are you going to be like those celebs who keep their awards in the loo?    Oh, and this is my very first post so now I'm off to the forums to introduce myself! And thanks for keeping up with this excellent blog. Now that I've come across it I'm going to be making it one of my regular stops.

Great Written by Kraamis on 2007-12-22 12:17:45 Congratulations!

bummer Written by anguawolf on 2007-12-09 05:10:20 looks like I missed the boat for the pca voting *pouts*    Congrats on the go ahead for season 5, and what a lovely photo! I'm sure with all this technology today, when he's old enough he'll be glued to the monitor just like his dad

Written by spamco on 2007-12-05 03:51:11 Mainly because I'm a fantastic lagger - or I was flying back to LA, who knows, I'm only commenting on this post now. But speaking of Leonard Cohen covers, have you heard Beirut's cover of Hallelujah? It's fantastic, I learned it on my ukulele after I watched this.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZG-GonoG-s    Baz is adorable!

So Sweet! Written by Lus on 2007-11-28 15:16:24 That picture of the two of you is just the sweetest! You look like one proud Dad and Baz really looks at home infront of the Laptop lol.    I'm so happy SGA has been picked up for a fifth season. I'm really enjoying the fourth one!    You'll be please to know that even though I'm in the UK, I've been doing my bit and voting for Atlantis to win a PCA. *fingers crossed everyone*    Love to you, Jane, Baz & Mars of course     xxx

AWWWW!! Written by Stargate_Addict on 2007-11-27 02:46:39 Nice pic of you 2! I am going to FINALLY buy the movie in a few minutes. I had to wait till I got Birthday money so I could afford to buy it and now I can!! I've been dyin to get it since I first heard.   My family will be getting Direct TV soon so I'll be able to watch Atlantis and help keep you guys on air! CONGRATS on season 5! My daddy and I are SciFi fans and I acctually grew up on all the Star-Treks and I've been addicted to Stargate for @ least 5 years lol (hence the screen name) and I must admit...I've seen nearly every episode haha My friends tell me I'm weird but I take that as a GREAT compliment lol Have fun with baby Baz! God Bless!

Written by kaniku on 2007-11-26 17:24:07 I hope that you have a copy of your episode of Shining Time Station for Baz!    You're going to be the best father ever!

How is Mars?! Written by ScarletBegonia on 2007-11-25 14:07:54 This is the 'Dog's Blog'...where is the dog? How is he adapting to the baby? Are you ignoring him or does he go for walkies with Baz in his geekmobile-stroller?    And for that matter, how's Jane? I remember when my daughter was born I seemed to cease to exist as a person and became just a baby carrier.    Very cute picture, though. Once again, my family has been inflicted with another picture of some stranger's baby...    Love to all 4 of you,    Scarlet

Hi Written by Ascended Spirit on 2007-11-23 20:27:33 Your son is so adorable. Kids grow up so fast. I am a mom to twin boys. They are 2 1/2 already. My time flies. Cuddle Baz while you can 'cause once he starts walking he will be too busy to sit down and cuddle.  May God bless you and your family. I wish you all the best of luck in your life.

Written by elementalv on 2007-11-23 11:04:43 With iBaz in your lap, you look as though you're overflowing with smug and amazed delight -- a bit like you just won the ultimate lottery. Every time I see this photo, I'm filled with contact!glee.    Thank you for posting this.

two sci-fi fans :-) Written by Geros´Lal on 2007-11-23 06:10:45 Happy father and his son! :-) It is nice that David takes Baz to computer. I hope that he shows him Stragate: Atlantis episodes. :-) Baz has to be a sci-fi fan. :-)

Written by Dietnerd on 2007-11-22 22:30:27 I did download it but I aso bought it and had it shown at a convention that was small granted but it got afew people wanting to buy it themselves.

*raises hand sheepishly* Written by Freak4theGeek on 2007-11-22 20:33:55 Ok ok I downloaded it too *sniff*. I'm in Australia and WE DONT EVEN GET SGA unless you pay exhorbitant fees for cable television. So you can imagine that it'd be pretty nigh on impossible to buy...Never mind, I'll buy it if it becomes available to us Aussies(as long as the dvd is in my region). My punishment is that I can only watch it as a 4 inch by 3 inch movie and no special features. Hope that makes you smile.     I loved ADF, particularly the silly sound effects you placed when there wouldn't have been any in actuality.     Baz is a little cutie. I have three sons myself and I tell you, it's a joy raising them. You're going to reaaally go ga ga when Baz talks to you (and it's not white and gluggy).    What's that coffee cup doing on the arm of the chair.. naughty!    Love ya    Anniexxx

Written by nuclophobic on 2007-11-22 15:01:47 I have to admit, I'm an impatient little puppy and I did download ADB.. *is very sorry*    Buuuuuuuuut, on a brightner note I will of course be buying the R2 DVD when it comes out, and [s]forcing[/s] persuading all my friends and family to buy it.

Written by Becky S. on 2007-11-22 09:43:29 That is a wonderful picture David. It must be hard not to want to hold Baz all the time.    Been busy with things in my world for a few weeks, so now I have to get back to voting (I've been voting on People's Choice a few times), promoting and catching up on my reading here on the site. Good thing my boyfriend is making Thanksgiving dinner! ;-)    Looking forward to more information about Starcrossed!

Speaking of awards... Written by watcher652 on 2007-11-22 04:01:24 ...I see you placed third in the Best Geek Blog category on the Blogger's Choice Awards. The other two are magazine sites, so you're the top personal winner in my book.    www.bloggerschoiceawards.com/main/winners?page=3    Congratulations!

WGA strike??? Written by Little_McKay on 2007-11-21 09:46:43 How are you getting over the WGA strike issue? Or are you assuming (hoping) it'll be over by Jan?     That picture is very cute! I love how babies pull their arms and legs up when they sleep, it'd be so uncomfortable for adults, but natural to them. When my brother (now was a baby he'd sleep best in my arms - god knows why. However, I was in the middle of important school exams so he'd lie across my arms while I operated a mouse and keyboard - or I'd be writing away with him in 1 arm (he was a TINY, preemie baby). Unfortunately, I didn't have a wireless keyboard or mouse so it really was an absoulte mess!     Also, a warning; WATCH YOUR LAPTOP!! I'm sure you'll have realised now that babies can puke at will, and sometimes they'll do it with absoultely no warning or reaction afterwards. My keyboard was disgusting, but laptop keyboards are kinda attached and hard to replace .

Hewlett 2.0 AKA iBaz... Written by Also_Bob on 2007-11-21 07:47:40 You know, they make smaller mice. Looks like you need a longer cable, or is 'no-tooth' like Bluetooth? (Apparently pregnancy is contaigous in the Stargate universe. What I really can't figure out is how you managed to get both arms under Baz and both hands on the keyboard.     Thanks for all your efforts - Actor, Writer, Director, Blogger and Father.

Voted.... Written by ladyc3 on 2007-11-20 19:29:09 I voted! Never did vote for the People's Choice Awards. That was cool. Great Picture of you and Baz...definitely the proud papa! Congrats on Season 5...I'm looking forward to Season 4 currently, now I have another one. I heard Paul was in some...which ones?    Merry Christmas to you, Jane, Baz and Mars.    C-

Written by SETI_fan on 2007-11-20 14:03:19 That picture is absolutely precious. I'm such a sucker for geeks to begin with, and the baby lying almost on the laptop just is icing on the cake. Such a cutie! While we miss seeing you on here more, we're glad you can be there for your little one and enjoy some much deserved family time.    "Starcrossed" update!!! :D So glad to hear that's moving forward! I'm really looking forward to seeing it! Count me there when the webisodes become available!    Congrats on the PCA nomination and the fifth season! I confess to fears the fourth would be the last as well knowing my track record for having networks cancel my favorite shows. Nice to see some good decisions being made! And I'll keep voting for you for the PCA! Are they televising it? Might I actually see one of my beloved sci-fi shows honored on TV here in the States?    Congrats on everything again and thanks for ducking in to say hi! Great to see you still out there! (McKay rocks in season 4, BTW. Can't wait to see Kate again in next week's ep.)    Seti

In which I reply with seemingly as much Written by gatefiend on 2007-11-20 13:37:06 That is honestly just about the cutest thing I've ever seen on the internet. And that's saying a lot, since I'm one of those people who looks at pictures of cute cats for hours on end.    ...Maybe not hours.    ...Okay, yes, hours. But that's not the point.    Let me just say that you make a fantastic father, just by the looks of it, and Baz is really an adorable nickname. Let's hope that he thinks so, too, when he gets older! Congrats again to you and Jane on having an adorable, healthy boy.    Congratulations on season 5! You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that I will actually be seeing your "shiny happy faces" next year, too. I have grown up with Stargate, and I will be deeply saddened if and when it ever dies (which, really, it never should; you all should be able to play your characters at the ripe old age of 80!).    I was able to get my grubby paws on A Dog's Breakfast about a month ago, and I was impressed, amused, and overjoyed at how amazing it was. Stellar work. And I will be re-watching many, many times.    I can certainly feel the pain of those who can't buy it, though, hearing all these fantastic reviews, and not knowing for themselves, and I'm glad that they found a way to see it (600 downloads! Wow!). Not that I condone piracy...>.> Because you are David Hewlett, this is a part of your heart and soul, and you should get the credit (read: money) you deserve.    Very excited to see what becomes of Starcrossed. It seems like an exciting (looks like I need a thesaurus) and hilarious show, assuming of course that it takes off (which it should, given the willing audience).    And thanks loads for taking time off from being a very proud, fantastic, and dedicated father (who doesn't even have time to change) to say hello to us!

Written by shelsfc on 2007-11-20 12:57:07 Aww, that's such a cute pic!! Baz is adorable!!   Congrats on SGA S5!! Voting for SGA for the People's Choice award - done. SGA V Dr Who, tough choice!! Speaking of which, thought you might like to see this -   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtIXg7MzPUY  It's two Doctors for the price of one for Children in Need on BBC!!

You make a natural Dad... Written by Sue on 2007-11-20 11:19:22 That is such a precious picture of you with your gorgeous son. If you can spare the time, keep blogging us about your adventures with Baz, oh, yeah...and your additional sidelines...acting, writing and directing.    best always, Sue

Careful with what you're doing! Written by Willow on 2007-11-19 17:38:30 What a lovely picture and congratulations to fatherhood. Be warned though, as a baby I was placed around TV test and measurement equipment and computers as well. What have I become? A 42 year old female computer, movie and SciFi geek. On the other hand it has helped me mastering the regional code and NTSC problem.     Ordered A dog's breakfast with an estimated delivery time of December 5th? Guess international mail is a bit slow nowadays. Already voted and shall write loads of reports on various film geek websites. A geek stays a geek stays a...    Love season 4 so far. You really need to be inventive if you live in Europe that is not the UK. Buying off the US websites is not allowed. Official subscription to UK television is not allowed. Duhhh....I flew for the first two eps to London. This got a bit pricey, thus a Scottish friend of mine tapes after I threatened to quit the friendship if not and mails it over to main Euroland.    I am much looking forward to Starcrossed (hoping Europeans are included as one of the other posters pointed out so well).    Take care and all the best  cheers,  Stephanie

absolutely adorable Written by aeilaranna on 2007-11-19 17:37:28 I'm not sure who is the cutest in this picture Jane is a lucky woman to have 2 such cuties. As requested I will continue to vote in neilsen and people's choice awards. Personally I can't believe you've been so nice to your fans as to be posting with this young a baby. Knocked me out for 3 months doing anything but basic care and maintenance when I had mine. All the fans are unable to express how happy we are about season 5 since we would have had to go on wild rampages if they had ended with the season 4 cliffhanger judging from the prosthetic pictures on that blog. Season 4 has been really good though honestly for me - not enough Rodney. Hopefully there will be more coming up I am dying of anticipation to see Millers crossing.

Noo what do I do! Written by Alexandraya on 2007-11-19 16:17:39 Well First of Awww iBaz He is so cute!     Okay! Uber excited Stargate Made it to the PCA but now I'm in a bind, as I am supposed to pick From Doctor Who SGA and BSG! because in all my Scifi Geekynes those three have always held a three way tie for no1 in my faves. But I cant refrain from voting! what do I Do?!  *slams head on brick wall* Oh whats that Baz wants me to vote for SGA? Oh well then thats something else entirely. *goes off to vote*

iBaz is the most ADORABLE (next to his d Written by crazy4dh on 2007-11-19 12:22:43 Look at you two. The pic actually robbed me speech! He is so cute sprawled out like that and you - ultimate geekiness that you can navigate the net while he is putting your hands to sleep. LOL     We have been occupying our time Questing for the Missing Squirrel King while you have been learning the ups and downs and ins and outs of parenthood.    You, Sir, are literally glowing with pride in the little tyke.    Can't wait for Helen and Splice and Starcrossed. Can't wait for the rest of S4 much less S5, but I know you'll regret not getting to spend the day with Baz.     Hope Mars is adjusting well to Baz and hope that Jane has fully recovered and is doing well.    Love to you all!

hello Written by hollywoodgirl on 2007-11-19 11:25:19 Baz is so cute....Got any good advise for my sister she ready to have hers any time......Glad to hear that stargate Atlantis is keep on going hopefully it will make 11 years in the making...Hope all is well.

Too Cute Written by Princess Cosuela Bananaha on 2007-11-19 10:46:20 David, your son is too cute.  I love reading from you. Nice to know that you are so much down to earth (or "down to Atlantis"?)     Greatings from Berlin,  Maddie

Flixster!! Written by WolfenM on 2007-11-19 10:34:37 SQUEEE! That pic of you and Baz is just so adorable!!! KAWAII!! Don't rush back on our account! It's so sweet to see such a dedicated daddy! ^_^    I "love Lady In Red" - I hope Baz does, too! ^^ How about a little Roxy Music? Ooh, or Rufus Wainright!! I'm also really enjoying Rob Thomas' song "Little Wonders" these days, and it seems to me it could be a meaningful song for a parent and child ....    Hey, there's another place place people can rate your puppy at: Flixster!    http://www.flixster.com/movie/a-dogs-breakfast    I did a little blurb-review a while back, and it shows up in my profile, but it's not showing up on ADB's reviews page! *shrug* Ah well, even if the reviews don't all show up, it can still be rated & recommended! :D

Awwww you two are so cute Written by nanook660 on 2007-11-19 10:29:20 Awwww Baz is so cute. Ummm and you too. Looking forward to Season 5, Helen, Splice, Starcrossed, and anything else I may have missed.    Since you are doing Commentary for Season 4 can you please try, beg, bribe the PTB to have Kate join you on the Commentary for "Miller's Crossing"? I was disappointed when I went to listen and watch the Commentary for "McKay/Mrs. Miller and there was no you or Kate. Love Season 3 DVD Set would be better with the actor Commentaries instead of the writers, etc.

You and Baz are CUTE!! Written by PLoker on 2007-11-19 09:58:44 Love the pic... He looks so comfertable in your arms. I know you will make a traffic Dad.    Voted for Stargate Atlantis... I need to make up people just so I can skew the numbers and vote a HUGE number of times.. hehehe....    Waiting for Starcrossed patiently.    Your going to be in Toronto? So am I! I'm there once a month maybe I'll run in to you.

Written by Mirth on 2007-11-19 06:55:36 Love the picture. I thought Mothers were the ones who were supposed to shine! Baz certainly looks comfortable and looks as though he has cracked the art of sleeping where and when he likes which will hold him in good stead for his college days (do they do courses on world dom??)    Great news on S5 and I have to say I didn't doubt it for a minute esp with S4 being so spectacular so far. Hope it continues. Having great fun.    Agree with the others that 600 pirates is good and hope they all get a concious in time for the release - I got mine from Amazon USA I hastin to add (which with UK mark up is probably cheaper in the long run).    Kids are great for any manner of excuses. Windy days, spillages, playing with toys in shops and you can teach them fantastic things - My favourite being that Angels dont wear Halo's anymore and we dont know why but Scientists are looking into it.    As busy as ever. You amaze me and make me feel guilty for all the things I should be doing. Aim to try a little harder from now on.     Baz is the cutest. Thanks for keeping in touch through all the nappies and demands.    M x

Wow!! Written by Squonk on 2007-11-19 05:06:09 You are busy at the moment!    Just remember to sleep!    Been voting away like crazy, if only so you can meet Queen Latifah     Please say the Europeans will be able to see Starcrossed?? I can't wait to see it.    Ditto on YorkshireLizzie's comment - a commentary with you and Kate would be great.    Take it easy!    Cute pic btw

Great to hear from you AND Baz! Written by YorkshireLizzie on 2007-11-19 03:55:24 Hi David,    Great to hear from you again! And we get Baz as well!! We are honored!! (He is sooo cute!)  600 Pirate copies??? I know its bad! I bought mine from Amazon I suppose I'm lucky I have a regionless DVD Player but its done the rounds and several of my pals have also bought copies!! You could look at it positive though! 600 people were so desperate to see it they pirated it!! They will - I have no doubt - buy it as soon as its out in R2!  Looking forward to Starcrossed and am sooo loving Season 4 of SGA!!!    Keep up the great work!!!    Liz  xxx

One More Thing Written by ZoniDuck on 2007-11-19 00:32:05 I was reading through the other comments here, and was reminded about Mallozzi's post saying that you're going to be recording commentary for season 4 episodes, and I have a small request. If you could mention to Ivon (I'm assuming it's Ivon's call) that the fans would love to have a "Miller's Crossing" commentary with you and Kate, that would be fabulous.    I was bitterly disappointed not to get one for "McKay and Mrs Miller", so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one. Thanks!

Too Cute! Written by ZoniDuck on 2007-11-19 00:17:10 Oh, David, that picture makes me grin SO BIG.    It is wonderful to hear from you, and Baz pictures are the highlight of any day, but please don't feel guilty for being so short of time. They grow up so fast, they practically defy the laws of physics. You're so lucky to have this time now, and the SGA hiatus will be over before you know it (to which I selfishly say, yay!).    So spend all the time you can with him, and send up a flare occasionally to let us know how you are. It's not like we're going anywhere.

OMG Written by James on 2007-11-18 22:23:14 That's the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. My son had reflux. I got twice as much spit up as a normal parent.

saw the twitter update... Written by MicheleBlue on 2007-11-18 21:29:24 Babies are the best excuse for many things...spilt things on clothing, being tired on the job, and best of all getting out of something you may not want to do! (shhh!)    Ah, the queen! She is an amazing talent, great actress too! You should invite her onto Stargate Atlantis ;-) Voting, voting, voting for the PC award; best show around IMHO!    Starcrossed webisodes - can't wait!    Once again, you are simply amazing...and that image of you and Baz at the computer together - perfect.    And last but not least...i had read rumor of SGA getting another season, but coming from your finger-tips makes the knowledge that much sweeter to read. Thank you for making it "official".    *peace*  Michele Blue

Baby Baz is B-E-A-utiful. :D Written by cinderlily on 2007-11-18 21:25:34 As if I needed another reason to want a baby, he is adorable! :D

You're back! Written by zwild1 on 2007-11-18 19:58:50 Thanks for the pic...Baz looks so relaxed in his daddy's arms! I have been voting for some time now on pcavote. SGA just has to win...it's the best! Best of luck with the webisodes of "Starcrossed"...I can't wait til they are out on the web.

I keep voting! Written by whovian on 2007-11-18 18:29:27 I keep voting every day!    I loved Hell Boy!    Baz looks so sweet and innocent sleeping while his daddy's on the laptop.    Can't wait for Christmas! I'm giving each of my sisters' and brother's family a copy of ADB! They have no clue. And I've been bragging and bragging about watching the movie! Oh, I have four sisters and one brother! Lots of copies for me to buy! No piracy in MY family!

Purchasing, Voting, Imagining... Written by morjana on 2007-11-18 17:28:13 Hi, David!    Thank you so much for sharing a photo of you and Baz with us geek fans.     I purchased A Dog's Breakfast, it's winging its merry way to my home from Amazon. Looking forward to seeing the puppy! (My computer is too old to download video.)    I've voted for SGA on PCA, and embedded the PCA widget on my blog site! Vote every day...    I'm imagining you as a Hellboy. Instead or bulkitude, I'm going with snarkitude!     Best wishes you, Jane, Baz, and Mars -- I know Canada has already had their official Thanksgiving, but I'll say a prayer for your family on our Thanskgiving this Thursday.    Best wishes, Morjana

Written by NZ_Jackie on 2007-11-18 14:59:32 Yay, We missed you David!  Im Glad to see that Sebastian is doing well, he is soo damn cute!!    I ahve voted for SGA in the People Choice Awards, even though I live in New Zealand! Go SGA, which reminds me I have to watch the latest Episode...Hope its good!    NZJ

A pleasure to hear from you Written by Aten on 2007-11-18 14:00:09 An update! Yay! And a really great one at that!    I know how it goes with babies and open time. My sister really restricted everybody in my house at that age, but we love her anyway.     Oooh, Starcrossed! I look forward to any and all incarnations of it. *crosses everything*    I voted!

That is awesome. Written by kymscrazy on 2007-11-18 13:44:38 I'm of the firm belief that you can never start them too young when it comes to computers. My 2 yr old niece is proof of that.     Voting is done and link is passed on. Good luck with the sneaking to blog.

ooh, decisions decisions! Written by wolfette on 2007-11-18 13:07:51 I had to choose between SGA and Dr Who - what a decision! Still, DW has been running for 30 years, so I'll give Atlantis a shot this time :-)

Written by Stargate_Geek on 2007-11-18 12:47:39 He is just so cute! I don't blame you for being a dad, way to go Can't wait for season 5, keep us updated (if Baz will let you that is!) Hope Mars is still getting attention, he is a movie star after all!    Hope Jane has recovered well from the surgery.

Written by Scary on 2007-11-18 12:18:49 David thanks for the post and the pic. You both look adorable.     I have been trying to vote twice a day, at work and home. It was so awesome to see you guys accepting that award. That is the only reason I will be watching.     STARCROSSED as webisodes sounds intriquing. I will definitely be checking that out.     Loving Season 4!!!!     nullHOPE TO SEE YOU AT DRAGON*CON IN 2008!!!!!

Long Live the 80's! Written by rosiewook on 2007-11-18 11:26:27 Exposing your son to the joys that is 80's music is important. Do not let the opinions of others sway you from this important teaching moment!     (Side note: What is your opinion of the new Duran Duran album?)    As for posting? While I continue to giggle at the fact that you actually think you'll ever have the time online that you did in the past, I think you just need to concentrate on that sweet boy. We can amuse ourselves. But it sure is nice to hear from you every now and then.    Please Twitter when you have Starcrossed promotional things you need done. Our Squirrel Network is vast and has grown more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Aww...a new geek in training Written by MdGateFan on 2007-11-18 11:05:46 That really is a cute picture.     Glad to hear (read?) that you have plenty to keep you busy (and Baz in diapers) during your so call time off. Or that really should be time away from Atlantis I guess.     And yes, it really is best to let sleeping babies lie. Look at this way, he needs all that sleep so he can come up with ways to take over the world with his killer robots.     And what is it with Dads trying to inculcate their musical tastes on their kids. First my brother-in-law trying to get his daughter to hear KISS and you and sappy 80's music.

I imported my ADB Written by Finn on 2007-11-18 10:41:35 as I'm lucky enough to have a multi-region dvd and tv. It is incredibly frustrating when you can't get, or play, the films you want because of region restrictions, and I just gave in and decided to hunt down a combination that would play anything, and then buy films abroad.    When are the internationals going to buy a clue? Don't just complain about pirating when YOU have the POWER to take their excuses away by providing a legal and easy way to BUY the product. It's not rocket science...     To anyone on this side of the pond who couldn't wait and did the naughty eyepatch thing... you really haven't seen ADB without the added fun of the extras and the commentary. If you don't buy a copy when it comes out you really haven't see it at all. So buy! You'll have so much extra fun     Baz is ADORABLE and you look owned

Cute! Written by Mckayalltheway on 2007-11-18 10:31:43 Thanks for the GREAT PIC!   I voted my little SG heart out!!!

Written by stillwaters on 2007-11-18 09:32:50 600 pirated copies? I wouldn't know whether to be flattered or outraged. Probably both.    After baby #1 was born, I kept wondering when my life would go back to "normal" (uninterrupted dinners, quiet evenings, clean(ish) house, etc.). It was a while before it sank in that this complete upheaval of our lives was the new normal, and besides, normal was totally overrated. Enjoy the roller-coaster ride!

I said your life would change! Written by Kdvb1 on 2007-11-18 09:08:22 See, I'm always right, now everyone remember that. (jk..lol) You and Jane are totally in love with that little baby, aren't you?!? It really rocks your world and can change the way you look at things when you have a precious new life to protect and take care of.     But we really have missed you here. So if you can tear yourself away for a few minutes, a little more often, to Twitter or post here...we would love that! ;~D    We do understand, of course, the love of parents for a child. So don't feel bad if you can't.     Kimberly

Pah! Written by SupCmdrThor on 2007-11-18 07:59:38 Being in the wrong region is no excuse for piracy, most people have a region free player or can change their PC easily enough. Though yes, it would be easier if it was in the local bluddy store     Just get it on Amazon.com like me, even with the 2 week shipping I actually had mine in the UK within a few days of launch!

He's only a child! Written by Skopadiggle on 2007-11-18 07:43:11 Please don't inflict Chris de Burgh on a child. It's bad enough doing that kind of thing to an adult. A Chris de Burgh CD is only something you should give to your very worst enemy at Christmas.    And Baz is soo cute. Why do babies always sleep like that?

Written by Zerocool on 2007-11-18 07:42:46 oh yes the peoples choice awards is being totally squirreled, never fear.  As for going very quite we definately expected it, Im very happy you seem to have adapted to fatherhood really well..it looks like it really suits you   All the squirrels I know this side of the pond bought the region 1 dvd and bought a cheap multi region player but yes I guess the distributers really don't help themselves.    Are you still planning on doing the same time web screening thinngy once you've finished your current filming schedule?

Written by Klenotka on 2007-11-18 07:12:49 Hey, David. Baz is so cute It is nice to see that he will obviously love computer     I can assure you that I will certainly buy ADB when it gets into Europe   And I am sure I am not the only one

Congratulations Written by iolanda on 2007-11-18 06:58:10 Its nice to see that you finally found some time for your blog. But I can totally understand that you prefer to spend your time with cute Baz. Just do that.  They grow up so fast, its incredible     I belong to those who are on the wrong side of the pond and I didn't pirate ADB and I never will, but I try to get the DVD the instant it will be released here. Those region codes seem to be from a time long gone. What is the sense in them? Same thing with "Why am I not allowed to buy Stargate episodes in iTunes?". Just hope that we will be able to watch StarCrossed :D I am already looking forward to that!     All the best!

Written by Ellieptical on 2007-11-18 05:49:19 I hate DVD regioning, I also hate that Macs don't have software available to make them region free, I'm having to play ADB on a horrid almost dead Windows laptop.     Congrats on everything!

Written by Ellieptical on 2007-11-18 05:49:18 I hate DVD regioning, I also hate that Macs don't have software available to make them region free, I'm having to play ADB on a horrid almost dead Windows laptop.     Congrats on everything!

Oh bless! Written by The Giggle Squirrel on 2007-11-18 05:43:39 Look at you, you great sappy thing!    Yay for an update finally and more of Baz! He's absolutely beautiful (which I suspect you know).    As much as I miss your mad updates, I don't want him to grow up too soon - they grow up so fast anyway. Cherish each moment.    Talking of time, I am being a good little Squirrel and waiting for the DVD release. It's killing me, but... you worked so hard for this, least I can do is have a little patience.    And Jane? Good for you. Best start ever     Love to all  Helen x

He's back! Written by iBKay on 2007-11-18 04:38:20 OMG Such a cute pic! Thanks for that, David! Both of you look great How's Jane?    I'm patient, I won't pirate the movie. I'll wait 'til they release it here!  Can't wait for Starcrossed either     Oh, I already voted for SGA!   Take care of Baz, Jane and yourself!     Ivana

Oh, look who's here! Written by watcher652 on 2007-11-18 03:45:51 Such a cute photo of you and Baz! Here's a baby who will be comforted by the gentle sound of fingers on a keyboard. Hee, geek in traning! Isn't it wonderful that we have digital cameras now? You can have a zillion photos of him, but it will never be enough.     Thanks for the updates. How's the kitchen looking these days? I'm looking forward to what you come up for "Starcrossed."     I've been voting every day at the People's Choice Awards. Everybody, you all know you can vote once a day, right?     To the pirates. You gotta buy the dvd. The commentary is both instructive and hilarious. David, your mother is very funny. You need to get Kate and Paul to do the ADB simulcast with you so we can get the actor perspective on making your movie. (BTW, Kate's play is wonderful.)     What's with Twitter? It still shows the Granny Tour as the newest entry even though your People's Choice twitter is more recent. Ah well, I always check your blog, too.    Tell Jane and Mars hello from all of us.

Written by NethDugan on 2007-11-18 03:36:33 I think the cute melted my powerbook.....    Seriously, good to see you're both in good health and fun is being had by all, wil of course try and vote in the relevent things if they let me (have tried before, lol).    Good to see another entry, but heck, you've the best excuse in the world not to really and....      Can I wave metaphorical banners to celebrate season five?      *wonders back to asylum*

Written by cbglacier on 2007-11-18 02:02:43 thank you for sharing iBaz, isn't it amazing how multitasking takes on a whole new meaning when our little creatures take over our lives, sleep deprived and happiness, heh

How is Mars coping? Written by crazymom on 2007-11-18 00:57:13 I forgot to ask earlier what Mars thinks of Baz! We went to visit my nephew who has a new baby, and GeekBoy spent most of the visit lavishing attention on their dog Max, who's been feeling kind of left out the last few weeks. They said he really can't stand it when the baby cries.

Congratulations on many fronts Written by telpethoron on 2007-11-18 00:28:00 First and foremost, you don't need to apologize one bit for spending time with Baz. This is time you'll never be able to recapture later on, and no one can begrudge you and Jane the need to bond with him. I have a feeling you'll make a terrific father.    I'll be casting my vote for SGA - congrats on being picked up for a fifth season! This season so far has been absolutely fantastic, and I'm glad to see the network heads agree. Here's to bigger and better things for the crew of Atlantis!

Written by seattlemeg on 2007-11-18 00:24:44 Congrats on everything, and I'll vote for ya'll anyday! And that is an absolutely adorable pic, it's obvious Baz has a wonderfully devoted dad. keep up the good work!

Written by Atlantis_Jackson on 2007-11-17 23:45:06 what a great picture! You have to be careful with pictures tho, In the first few months of my daughters life I took so many pictures! I think there are still a few rolls to be developed (Yeah, that was my predigital year!) And now she's four!    Congrats on all the movies!     and it's ok that you can't post as much as you used to... Baz needs you more than we do. But don't forget about us completely

Written by crownglass39 on 2007-11-17 23:25:16 Look at those little red feets!  You and Jane certainly make beautiful kids! Congrats again.

We've missed you! Written by crazymom on 2007-11-17 23:20:30 Baz is a great excuse in a lot of ways, because we can't really begrudge you any time you're spending with him and Jane, but it's nice to hear from you! He definitely needs his own computer, because trying to share a computer with your son just doesn't work--which is why I haven't been around much. My laptop screen died, and GeekBoy is definitely a computer hog! I've got my laptop hooked up to an old monitor now, and while it's not exactly portable, at least I'm not competing for computer time!     JM says you're going to be doing some of the Season 4 commentaries--excellent news!

*has innocently been voting as often as Written by fiareynne on 2007-11-17 23:13:20 There is absolutely nothing sweeter than a dad who's not afraid to let his kid occupy that all-important space between him and his laptop. Personally my cat usually takes that spot, but I haven't got a choice in the matter.    Please say that you've got Paul and Rachel for Starcrossed! And don't think too much about what you want to be when you grow up -- and this is VERY important -- or you might actually someday be expected to GROW UP. And that would be a tragedy.

Thanks! Written by Delka on 2007-11-17 23:13:08 Hey, any response from you is worth the wait. Besides you have a good excuse! Thanks for the pic and this "squirrel" is working on writing up reviews and PCA voting!

Written by PB_Gal on 2007-11-17 23:07:20 Aww that's so cute!!! an iBaz :P Sounds like things are going just peachy for you on both the baby front, the personal hygeine comments And the occasional work front too!    I must say though the plan of an international release, even if it is in early to mid 2008 if the best news I've heard! I've yet to see this little baby of yours and I refuse on principle to pirate a copy! Best wishes on Starcrossed too btw! I can't wait to see Spliced!

Written by phasedout77 on 2007-11-17 22:53:34 David, Baz is super precious, and is getting so big already. Let me be the millionth person to say congrats.    But I gotta call you out on the downloading. You yourself on this blog have professed a loved for LimeWire and have at least gotten a copy of the Grey Album, as you stated on this blog. Now I worked in the ent industry in copyright for some time so I know all the ups and downs and laws so I'm not advoacting it or passing judgement either. But just remember you've been on the other side too Don't make me get out the waybackmachine (www.waybackmachine.org)

What a great piccie! Written by animallover on 2007-11-17 22:38:36 That piccie of you & Baz is so cute! Congratulations on Starcrossed getting the go ahead! That is brillient news! Wow you have finished filming "Helen" already! Wow! Another film "splice" you will be in also! Yay! More Hewlett movies to buy!   ADB international release! I hope it will be early half of the year!   Take care! Happiness always!  Peace   Cathie

Awwww......... Written by beth on 2007-11-17 22:29:37 Voted for People's Choice Award? Check.  Voted for ADB on Heynielsen? Check.    The picture of you and Baz is precious!    Congratulations again on the little bundle of joy and also the films you've got coming up. Please keep us posted on those and when they come out.

Written by sgakaz on 2007-11-17 22:21:34 It made me all warm inside he's so sweet. I'm in England so can I vote online for peoples choice award, I can but try. xx

How adorable! Written by Tigereye on 2007-11-17 22:19:48 I think that's got to be the cutest picture of you that I've seen yet! I love it! Looks to me like Baz wantsyour computer. Maybe you can get him a baby laptop. Vaio has some pretty tiny ones. LOL!    On my way right now to vote in People's Choice Awards.    See ya later!    Tigereye

Written by shansgrl on 2007-11-17 22:05:35 Don't worry David, while you've been affected by the baby kryptonite (and who wouldn't be? He's beautiful and seems to adore his daddy.) we've all been voting for Atlantis on the PCA's and making sure everyone we know is too. Y'all will be rubbing elbow with the Queen in no time!     This picture has got to be the cutest I've ever seen! Congrats to you and Jane again and wishing you nothing but the best. Thank Baz for us for letting you let us know what's been going on.    Happy Holidays!

Written by phynyxoffyre on 2007-11-17 22:02:26 David,    The only way the picture for this post could get any cuter, is if Mars had his muzzle resting on Baz's legs.     Been voting for the People's Choice awards. And I eagerly await the webisodes of "Starcrossed!"

Is a bad, bad Neep. Written by NZNeep on 2007-11-17 22:01:01 Of course I pirated a copy! What kind of geek do I look like? But rest assured that my first student loan payment of 2008 will most definitely not be going on food. Or rent. Or laundry powder. That DVD is mine! At least the geeks behind the counter at the Wellington Borders will stop getting bugged about it until at least January.    Baz is gorgeous! And you're such a proud geeky dad... awesome.    I can't wait for Starcrossed! We will get those eyeballs on it...

Busy voting! Written by wraithfodder on 2007-11-17 21:57:14 Been having fun voting for SGA ever since the press release hit my mailbox. Thanks very much for sharing the photo of you and Baz. Adorable!         Sure sounds like you've got a full schedule.

Aww Cute ... Written by amararti on 2007-11-17 21:52:12 Don't you look the proud Dad?! - Did I say congratulations yet ? No? Yes ... No? Well congratulations to you and Jane and welcome to Baz! There .. better late than never. Sounds like lots of good things are happening for you at the moment :-). It's nice that you find the time to tell us all about it.    Lots of love to you all  enjoy Baz's first Christmas ...  xxx AMx

what a sweet picture! Written by Sweeneybird on 2007-11-17 21:52:00 Don't speak of Chris DeBurgh again, though - I suspect social services will come to take wee Baz away.

Thanks for sharing your daddy with us Ba Written by mamakarina on 2007-11-17 21:49:30 Much love to you all!  Thanks for the update.  I already voted!     Caryn

2008? That's Mean! Written by kezlou on 2007-11-17 21:46:41 Voting for SGA Completed.    2008 is too far away. I've been a good and patient girl - I didn't dl pirate copies and I resisted the urge to buy a R1 DVD so I cud overload my laptop by watching it repeatedly (It still hasn't forgiven me for Century Hotel) but you can bet I will be buying it as soon as it becomes available... and everyone I know will be getting a copy whether they want to or not!    Can't wait to see Starcrossed (assuming they actually let us Europeans see it...).    And as for the 'silence of the Baz!' we don't mind. He's small and cute and needs a 'dedicated father who doesn't even have time to change'
