SSY Retreat


I got back from the SSY Retreat on Sunday.

It was a beautiful experience.

I would prefer that most of you guys do the program and enjoy it for yourself instead of me trying to explain what it is all about.

Many of you must be wondering, “Whatever happened to 2Web Technologies?' Um - no? Anybody? Well, if you're wondering, we joined Google's New York City office last year to come up with a solution to a problem we understood all too well: how to quickly and easily share information in real time. Spreadsheets were a clear target. They can have real power, but there are equally real drawbacks to collaborating and sharing them. This fact led our little team to explore making spreadsheet software, and the spreadsheets themselves, available on the web. And now, Google Spreadsheets is available as a limited test on Google Labs. Even when it was only partly developed, we used Google Spreadsheets (alpha!) to manage our task lists, our feature lists, our bandwidth estimates, our storage estimates, even our complex team event voting ;).

Your child's world will be forever expanded and enriched if you develop his imagination and curiosity through books. Studies have shown that children who are read to early are more likely to be successful in school and in life. In fact, many school-age children who are good readers had parents who read, and read to them. Indeed, reading starts at home!"
