We found a free lunch.

Tell your Dad you found a free lunch. Aimee and I had very successful video conferencing with The Jones family twice in the last 48 hours. We had successful voice conversations with The Mouser Jr. and Krauss Families. Very cool stuff.

So, get your skype account going. Add "Redbeard76" to your contacts list and post your login name to this blog. Then, we'll add you to our contact list. It's a whole lot easier than eating with chopsticks.

The video conferencing obviously requires a minor investment, a webcam. I researched our webcam at cnet.com. You can try http://reviews.search.com/search?target=&q=Webcam&tag=srch. We have the Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks Deluxe.

Basically, if you've got $45 and a desire to talk to the Bowman's or be a recording artist on YouTube, get the webcam.

We swam in the indoor pool today. I'd have video to share with you but somehow the camera got left behind. Does that ever happen to you? I'll get some next go round.

We just bought a Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX at Target for $40. So far we have only used it to Skype each other since the Bowmans are sleeping, but it seems to work flawlessly with Skype.
