Technology & the Family

OK, so here I sit blogging on my Mac and watching my son play synthesizer keyboard in his room, right there on my Dell PC. In real time. He's about 150 miles away. It's www.blogtv.com. Ain't technology grand! Warm and fuzzy! Once in awhile there are annoying commercials, like real TV. I can sit around and listen to my kid jam aimlessly and try out new riffs and play pieces of songs and other sonic ideas that float through his creative mind as he slouches in front of the keyboard with his puff of blonde, brown and purple hair, lip-ring, darkening tan and those colored rubber bracelets kids wear nowadays. He's whipping off a wicked blues riff right now. That's mah boy!

And then it hit me; I can't quit blogging, my mom is watching, from 1700 miles away.
