My holiday break was a lot of fun. I received a web cam from my brother as a gift and was playing with it a lot. The screenshot above is one where I am video chatting with a dinosaur (it is actually my friend that has a bunch of goofy effects on his camera, but the dino effect was, of course, my favorite).
I hadn’t really gotten into using video on the web much before now. I had fiddled around with Skype, and will likely do more of that in the future. But now that Gmail makes it so easy (it is already in my personal email), and now that I have my own web cam, I hope to be doing a lot more experimenting with video.
My main hope is that it will allow me to stay better connected with friends and family. My fairly tech-savvy dad already had a web cam and we were playing with them over break. I look forward to bridging the distance gap between Vermont and Minnesota using this technology. I can maybe even chat with my mom and ask her if the new curtains she made me are installed correctly.
