Using occupancy sensor + PC to alert whether boss is in his office?

I'm exploring a geeky office hack. Here's the deal. I'm assistant to my organization's vice president and president. We're in a pretty big building, and my office plus their two offices are hidden off in a far corner.

Family Tree app for Mac?

Are there any applications on the Mac OS X platform that were designed for compiling family tree information?

If not, any apps already on the Mac platform that are helpful to build a family tree? I'm thinking OmniGraffle on that one if nothing else already exists for family tree building.

Does anyone have recommendations on compiling this information? Applications to help compile and build this information? Sites that I must check out for info?

Any general suggestions are appreciated on this project as well...

Thanks!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
