Wiki Fun and my new Electronic To-Dos

Today during a meeting I was arguing for the use of Wiki software to write the new Printing Redbook, instead of old fashioned paper printing. While demonstrating how Wiki software works. I mentioned that on Wikipedia you could hit random page and get a random article. So I did, and I got this one. Nice.

Also, I have a couple of new electronic to-dos.

• For fun: Experiment with ring lights for taking photos.
  
  
• For the family website: Install Wiki software on kurtandsandy.com and try to get daily wiki updates going utilizing date '+%m-%d-%Y' to create daily files based on the date. Fill said files with boilerplate text, including an automated links to our blogs and other daily stuff, like a link to the Wikipedia daily link, and other stuff that would change each day. I think that a Wiki would be a better place to store info about the family than the blog, for many reasons:
  
  
  • Better organization.
  • Separate kids stuff from each other.
    
  • Pictures from the camera could be autmatically loaded into the wiki based on the day they were taken.
    
  • I think that having boilerplate text would enable more thorough logging of the family exploits:
