This is just completely over-the-top parenting. What's the point of this? Seriously? Starting when his daughter Trixie was born in 2003, MacNeill began recording every diaper and bottle and, later, each nap and hour of nighttime sleep. He started with a simple spreadsheet but soon put his background as a web developer and designer to use, building a web application to allow him to not only enter all the baby's vital statistics but also share them — with his wife, who had to return to work after a very brief maternity leave, and with the grandparents and other friends and relatives — via a widget on his blog. By 2006 the tool had grown into a site offering subscription and free accounts (about 8000 have been created so far) for parents looking to record, analyze and share the details of their children's daily care, everything from feeding to diapers to sleep to pumping and breastmilk inventory to prescription dosing. Trixie Tracker produces reports and charts and very cool visual representations of your baby's patterns, and those who spring for a paid account can use the iPhone interface. The rest of the article:

And I thought it was crazytarded that the nurses at the hospital expected me to write down every diaper change. WDYT? Do you care about your nieces'/nephews'/friends' kids' stats? Would you want to read a widget about diaper changes and feedings? Is this really a good idea, and I'm just too neglectful and lazy to see it?
