"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

schweepie-cam

We've learned that video monitoring has been S.O.P. with babies for quite some time now (whether app or camera based).  This would have saved quite a few check-up trips into the baby's sleeping quarters back in the day (not always accomplished as quietly as desired).

As this photo shows, a side benefit of this technology is the chance to capture some photos that might otherwise be unobtainable.  Really like this one (taken on daddy's birthday - 9 April).
