For my me and my wifes 20 year anniversary our three children made us this wonderful photo book on this website. I believe the site was http://www.smilebooks.com. This was probably the most memorable gift that our kids ever got us. We love taking picture and have so many and the kid were able to fit alot of the photos into the book (more then i thought they could). Hope this helps!

Back in the stone ages… what were your baby thoughs about the internet before you actually got online?
Before you actually got on the internet…
When your only exposure to the internet was hearing people pass the word around and seeing www and .com on billboards…
*What did you think the World Wide Web was?*
My very first hypothesis on this question, when I was around 7 years old, was something like a combination of Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, and Yahoo Answers.
In other words…
1. The largest encyclopaedia ever.
2. A digital library full of digital books.
3. A place where you can get instant answers from people all around the world.
Ah, and I also spent hours staring at screenshots of AOL 2.0 and MSN 1.0 and wondering “which is the larger internet?” Haha!
Well, the early internet (I first got on in 1998) didn’t turn out to be as organised as I thought it’d be! It was random, haphazard, grass-roots… but also had much more variety than I expected!
So share your first baby thoughts on the internet!
OLD? Oh poor me, I’m 17… but I guess I’m ageing early :’-(!!
And the internet was formed by the time I was born too… it just wasn’t popular, you know, at least not where I lived. It’s one of those things I heard about all the time but never really tried until later.
But I guess it’s my fault for fuelling all the misconception of my age by calling the 1990s the “stone ages”… oh woebegone me… 17 and ancient already! That’s why I never liked birthdays :’-(

Before I was ever online I thought it was a couple different things. I saw enough movies about hackers to know that the internet was connected to everything and that it was all in green text on a black background, but I also saw movies where the internet was 3d virtual reality complete with those clunky headsets and gloves, and that you had to punch air to open a browser window or something. The first time I got online was from one of those really early web clients, one of AOL’s competitors, but I forget which. I remember playing a few MUDs for a bit, then getting bored and firing up the Nintendo (hand-crank and all), especially because it was so expensive and tied up a phone line. Damn, that must have been a while back! Anyway, when I finally started online without a client so I could see the internet more or less raw (or at least rare), I was stunned with the sheer quantity of things to do, but I didn’t know what was fun, so I used it mainly to look for cheat codes and enhancements for computer games I already had. Naturally, I was also lured away rather quickly by the dark underbelly of the Web (in those days, still called pr0n for a reason). Fast forward, and I use it to answer questions about the good ‘ol days.
Mary asks…
One of my clients just adopted a baby. Looking for a good baby gift?
My go-to gifts used to be baby books and gift certificates to a good photography shop with a nice picture frame, as everyone takes loads of pictures of their new baby.
But now that photography has gone digital, is that still a good gift?
What was your best baby gift?
Thanks!
I walk their dogs. So it’s a farily intimate relationship, as you have keys to their house and sometimes diagnose their dogs with health issues. This particular client went to Europe for a month and their dog had a rip-roaring gum infection that I diagnosed and got treated while they were away. Pet Sitting is strange, because it’s weirdly intimate in ways that some other service jobs are not. If that’s any help here.
Re: Announcement: I just got an email that they adopted their 3 week old bouncing boy yesterday! I get the feeling they have been trying for a long time and it just all came together this week. No formal announcements have been sent out yet.

So what that photography has gone digital? We still go to the studio and get pictures done professionally, especially when it comes to our little ones. I think it is a very nice gift! Of course, you can never go wrong with a gift card to any baby store. I would’ve loved to get some instead of some fancy dresses that my newborn daughter couldn’t wear.
