This new dad configured it to track a certain baby habit (that leads to tons of jokes that might not be appropriate for here - haha), but it leads to loads of other possibilities. Found it interesting. I didn't even know Amazon sold these devices. Here I've been keeping paper notes to remind myself to order this and that.

There's a line in the William Gibson novella Burning Chrome, "The street finds its own uses for things."

I could use this for a whole lot of uses Amazon never intended.
