hp smarthouse + dwell design + summer camps...

my family has been so busy!
i'm so excited! we got to spend a day "living" at the futuristic "SmartHouse" on the hp campus in cupertino. it's a 3-bedroom prefab automated dreamhouse showcasing hp's electronic "connected home" technology for work + entertainment, like the first connected hd lcd tv + gadgets for the kitchen, bedroom, office, fire safety + security surveillance that are available now. here's a video tour.

then after kindergarten graduation, we spent the weekend at an eco camp near petaluma that was a miwok indian village + saw foxes + stopped in mill valley on the way home + watched "UP" at the quaint little old theater.
this week, i met the pbs kids executives + the creator of 'super why' at stanford + they explained how they make their programs + gave me some show DVDs + projects to try with mod*tot for feedback. we LOVE pbs kids shows + online games. mod*tot is in gymnastics camp + i'm skating along the bay trail across the street from her gym, updating my blog, planning giveaways + getting ready for the dwell on design conference next weekend at the los angeles convention center!!!

i want to drive an eco-friendly zipcar hybrid + use our autonet mobile wifi with an hp touchsmart tablet laptop + olympus stylus "tough" camera.
