I've worked on too many accounting systems written by accountants, education systems written by teachers and medical systems written by doctors!
It's funny - you don't see many offices built by accountants, doctor's surgeries built by doctors or schools built by teachers - so why do they think they can build good software? Maybe us pros don't make it look hard enough?

Just had a thought - why not write a cloud-enabled note-taker of your own?

Why not indeed! It was already on my list of ideas. 
Will have to see if I get around to building that one though. My plan is to build a bunch of sites... however many I can manage by the cutoff date for challenge 2.

I wish I wasn't so busy with other (non IT) stuff - it would have been a fun challenge..
I did some stuff with Azure at a BizSpark technical weekend - and quite enjoyed it - but just didn't have the time to do it justice for the competition (although the prizes look pretty good - I wish I'd looked a but more closely!)

At 1, the kid will probably spend more time playing with the box.

I think you and the Dad will have more fun with it than the kid will. Hope it lasts long enough for the tyke to enjoy. 
Cool gift BTW. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

For my daughter (of 10 months) something similar lasted 2 hours 
all the best

For a one year old? I second a previous comment, give the kid a box.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I would suggest a child's rattle-box. Makes a sound when lightly shaken, and also has some small amount of movement. Can catch the attention of eyes and ears of the child, in a gentle and safe manner.
