For sure:
1) Ordered 800 pairs with an all-in manufacturing cost of $10/pair. Shipping was right around when supply chain awfulness had ships stacked off Long Beach and ended up bringing the cost/pair up to $13.
We've been 'live' with the website since December of 2021.
Started selling for $40/pair. Sold some. Dropped the price to $29/pair and sold more. Currently selling for $20/pair and that seems to be the right price point for these.
We've sold ~450 of the original 800 pairs and I still have just less than $2000 outstanding from the original investment.

Unless you have one of dozens (hundreds?) of potential complications that can happen during childbirth and you don't make it to the hospital in time. They you've got a dead or severely brain damaged baby and a potentially dead mom. Totally worth it.
And the odds of making it to the hospital in time if you need an emergency c-section or start bleeding out are pretty slim.
Along these lines - are there any good 'hacker' tools out there for the various phone platforms? I know there are port scanners and some other things out there but is this a well-developed space?
As the parent of two young boys (one of whom will be 16 in ~10 years) I can't begin to tell you how excited this makes me.
Ford Taurus introduced a 'parent key/child key' concept a few years ago that did things like limit stereo volume and top speed. This takes it one further.
No fretting about stupid accidents! No fretting about drunk driving!
"Sorry son, you can't ride with Johnny - he still has a manually controlled car."
Great tool - nicely done. I have two questions:
1) What is your business model? Hoping for acquisition or hoping to get traders to pay you for data?
2) How lawyered up are you? You're offering financial advice and I know the SEC has some pretty delicate regulations around what you are and are not allowed to charge people for and what the limits of your liability are. Did your legal counsel offer any specific advice in this area before you launched?
Shit, sorry! Wasn't my intent at all. Kids learn different things at different times and we've played to Auden's strengths in these areas. We push hard when there's obvious interest in anything specific.
Don't want to give the impression that he's spelling well or writing quickly :)
Our 2-y-o is an entirely different person with much much different development patterns.
A friend recommended trying gameQuery out next time - looks a little tidier - the one I used was all compressed JS and kind of ugly to work in: http://gamequery.onaluf.org/
Wouldn't take anything quite so extensive - I'll do it here!
I accidentally let my son play through all of Shadow of the Colossus with me, much to my wife's chagrin. He loved it.
This past weekend he said, "Dad, let's play Shadow of the Colossus!" I said, "No." He paused for a moment and said, "Dad... how do video games work?" I paused for a moment and said, "You know what? Let's make one!"
So we sat down at the computer together, did some quick research on available simple JS game engines (I was hoping for something easy and HTML5 but nothing surfaced...) and decided on the type of game to make. After that we had some conversations about gameplay mechanics and characters. We talked around characters for a bit and he sketched out some ideas. Mr. Muscle and Crocodilehead were born.
I picked apart the (horrible compressed JS) code a little bit to figure out how the game worked and then we looked through sprites together. After identifying the various sprites he set to work, drawing base sprites (about 10 of them for Mr. Muscles and four for Crocodilehead) and a background image.
While he slept that night, I scanned in all of his sprites and started resizing/animating them.
He critiqued my work in the morning suggesting the Crocodilehead should not puke blood on people when attacking (you can still see a bit of the residue in the game now) and that Mr. Muscles should not shoot fire out of his hands when doing the megapunch.
After that it was mostly just tweaking and farting around in photoshop.
He got a good look at the code this time around and has a pretty solid base understanding of the relationship between files, images, servers and browsers thanks to a web page we built together a few months ago: http://audenneedham.com/volcanoes/ (he wireframed that one, wrote the content, selected and helped to resize the images, did the Wikipedia searches for pages to link to and helped to edit the HTML...)
Nothing too hairy for a 4-y-o:
1) identify interest (which it sounds like you have)
Yes, bought domains for both of my kids as soon as we decided on names. Figure they're useful as sandboxes for things like this and I'll turn over the keys when they want them.
