Inspiring. I was glad to see a coding camp for kids in my neighborhood. It conflicted with another summer camp we'd chosen, now I'm curious to know about the gender breakdown of the participants.


I wonder if there's any impact on ticks. Those are far more concerning to me than mosquitos.


At 40% abv, isn't a drink 1.5 oz?

In which case it's 1280 drinks per year which is 3.5 per day.


Ah you're right. Don't know how I got from 1920 oz to 192 drinks—unless you consider 10oz of vodka a drink!


Bulldogs - the conversion optimizer's best weapon.


Love the story behind Storied! I'm fortunate to not have anyone in my family suffering from Alzheimer's, but I can only imagine how hard it must be to see someone struggle to recall people and events that define them, and then to have something that can help bring some of it back.


Thanks Alan. Yes, it is very challenging indeed to see someone you love slowly losing touch with their defining experiences.

It also makes one poignantly aware of the ephemeral nature of our own memories.


Also pays to have complimentary skills rather than the same ones. Helps take ego and competitiveness out of the equation.


I think that is why it works well for me and my brother. I handle the tech and he handles everything else.


I think your assumption is right on. Just try to listen to music when you walk and not end up lock-step with the beat.


Novel and entertaining. Reminds me of creating a Mii on the Wii, only they arrive at your door.

It would be cool if you could get super mini versions that you could hand out as business cards. It's the kind of thing that recipients would definitely show around, and hold on to.


I think kids spend way too much time on phones, tablets and computers. I want my kids playing outside, not staring at a screen.


Definitely agree with this. Would cut down on wasted packaging as well.
