personal: April 2007 Archives

For many years, I've done a goofy easter egg hunt in and around our house. Even as the kids have gotten older it is something they claim to look forward to - so I happily comply. This year is particularly fun because the latest addition is at a perfect age to re-energize the wonder of the hunt.

Geeky but different this year is that instead of printing out the hunt, I've made it a document in google docs and invited the kids as viewers (including the 2.5 year old - wonder if google will still be around when she gets around to being able to read). It was like water rolling off of their backs, even for the "baby." Next year, I think I'm going to get eggs with RFID tags, a reader in each basket, do a personal Google Map to aid in the discovery, after getting CJH to put on of his doo-hickeys in the family car.

There are lots of cool and easy ways to collaborate. Still wrestling with which ones should be provided in-house (PSU) and which ones can be leveraged from the outside.
