Jay Fernandez of The Hollywood Reporter writes that the popular GeekDad blog on the Wired magazine site has sold its rights for developing a TV show or movie around the name.
Fernandez writes, “What began as a popular blog on the Wired website devoted to tech-savvy geek fathers has bloomed into a bestselling book, a podcast, branded clothing and a GeekMom companion blog. A second book in the series is scheduled for a May 2011 release by Penguin imprint Gotham Books.
“Gotham published the first book, GeekDad: Awesomely Geeky Projects and Activities for Dads and Kids to Share, in May. Both were written by lead GeekDad blogger and editor Ken Denmead.
“The GeekDad blog, championed for its parenting techniques, receives more than one million unique hits monthly and was named by Time as one of the 25 best blogs of 2010. A GeekKids blog is also planned.”
