The Children At Work: Blog Is Launching Today!!!

Hello! Welcome to The Children At Work blog. This is our official launch and first post ever.

Let me start by saying that the idea for a page like this arose out of necessity and is mainly self-serving.  During our daily experiences we come across an abundance of information shared via the Internet. The problem was that we had no uniform way to access it later other than archaic modes such as bookmarks and instant messaging histories. This was bothersome and inefficient. To remedy the issue we originally used email in the form of a daily blast that contained all the links. Over time we added more people to the list and it became apparent that we needed to upgrade from the mid-90s mailing list format. Now, here we are, integrating into a forum which should facilitates all the mediums we trek. No more manual link following!

There is no real goal or format for how this will go.  An organic approach to consolidating the information we find is the only real prerequisite. Over time, who knows where this may take us? That is the beauty of it all.  In the mean time we can finally find those stories and videos we seem to lose. We hope you enjoy and feel free to contact us with suggestions, criticism and questions.
