Old and new - 2000 to 2015

I dropped off my family's primary car, a 2011 Subaru Legacy, for a repair and picked up a rental car. They gave me a 2015 Toyota Corolla S. My other car is a 2000 Corolla (without the S).

The car felt as big as my Subaru and it had some features that I liked. The ride was zippy and comfortable, turns were smooth and air condition was good. I had a good view to both my sides when I needed to switch lanes. The seats were stiff and I feel they could have been a lot more comfortable without adding cost. The look of the car could have used a little more creativity.

I tried the sport button on an open stretch of road and loved it. The car just took off. There was a rear camera that popped up when I switched to reverse. Parallel parking was a breeze. The was Bluetooth integration with my phone took less than 30 seconds to setup and start streaming pandora. Seamless integration and usability out of the box. Now, that is cool.

A @trello board to get kids excited

I showed him how to create cards, add labels to them and move them from To Do, to Doing to Done. I had him create some cards and label them. He could not stop creating cards. I could not convince him to go to bed after that. He created cards for everything he wants to do in the summer and he is not done with creating cards. He even created a card to email a screenshot of his Trello board to his teacher. Later last night, he was still awake in bed when I checked on him. He told me that he wanted to add three more labels - Math, Science and One-on-One. He wanted a label titled 'One-on-one' for tasks that he wants to do with me and he wants one-on-one at

A @trello board to get kids excited - continued

This is a continuation of the previous post titled - A trello board to get kids excited . At the time of writing this post, the previous post had 198 page views. I wish people commented. I did get some positive feedback on Twitter. The Trello twitter account re-tweeted my tweet and also sent out a second tweet advertising the page. Thank you very much. I hope a lot of parents and kids benefited and had fun as a result. Trello people: Idea - How about a 'Trello Kiddo'? Perhaps you could offer that to schools that give iPads for each kid to take home with them. Get them when they are young. When a kid does something religiously, regularly and feels great about it and can't wait to tell everyone about it, you know you've done well as a parent. We realized that we needed a separate column to keep track of 'Special accomplishments'. Positive reinforcement that you can see with your eyes! Some parents feel like they haven't done enough for their kids, partic
