Tech for Its Own Sake
I recently tried out Skype, a neat way to talk to people online. My first experience yesterday was pretty cool, as I was talking with cousin Graham in England. So picture it: Graham and I, thousands of miles apart, are talking -- real voices in real time, not just instant messaging -- for free. Gotta love it!
Today, Bob and I did a much more local spin. He's downstairs in the batcave and I'm two floors up tucked into bed with my laptop. And we're talking with Skype -- at last, we've solved the intercom problem! Now I can bug him to stop surfing the net and put the kettle on without even getting out of bed. Gotta love it!
