When Nerds Reproduce
They produce something like this: Trixie Tracker, a $59/year subscription application that "allows new parents to create detailed records and custom charts of Sleep, Diapers, Bottles, Solids, Nursing, Pumping and Medicine." With special features like Sleep Telemetry, which has the following capabilities:
- Record sleep in real-time or input data at the end of the day
- Track transition time in addition to time asleep
- Track attempted naps
- Track sleep locations
- Easily record overnight wake-ups or fell-asleep-in-the-car naps with the Sleep Split Tool
-
[A] Sleep Probability chart [which] uses a gray scale to display the probability of your child being asleep at a certain time of day.
- [E]xtremely useful sleep editing options. For example, if your child wakes up for 5 minutes at 3 o'clock in the morning, you don't have to rush to the computer. You can easily add it the next morning using the Split Tool, which allows you to insert a wake-up in a sleep cycle or a cat nap in an awake cycle.
Trixie Tracker concludes, rather ominously:
These tools make it easy to record accurate data which means you'll be able to make better sleep schedule decisions — for you and your child.
To which I say: Thanks. I really, really needed that laugh.

Oh Zil, you can laugh, but some day my nerd princess will come.... and we will have nerd children who we will subject to all forms of biometry!
Now that I think about it, compared to the potentially complex technology and infrastructure problems of raising a child, actually bearing the child must be a piece of cake.
(None of this, in case you were wondering, was ironic in the least bit.)
Is it wrong to subscribe to the service for my OWN needs? I'd be interested to know when I might be asleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....Hi everyone, this is zil and I need ot log off and add Pete's nod off in his log. He's infatuated with the gray scale.
