Jonah and I just had a very nice spontaneous date. Saw a film we both had been wanting to see and realized 1/2 hour before it started that it was going to be playing in a one off showing. So we hurried down to the theater. Had a nice chat to and from as well. That was cool.

Pray for Jonah's back as all the sitting in bad furniture has his back really acting up. He will be spending tomorrow in bed trying to get better. Thanks!!

Had a little bit of trouble trying to post those haircut pictures. Always bugs to work out when you try new things. Now I know a tiny bit more about html and how blogger works.

To some people computer stuff comes pretty easy. To others not at all. I think I am somewhere in the middle. Thankfully I have a Grandpa that is a very progressive thinker and he equipped all of his grandchildren with Commodor 64's in the early 80's. My brothers and cousins and I had fun playing computer games that showed up on the screen in words only, no graphics. We also played around writing simple computer programs. I remember the day that modems started to become available to the general public. My cousin and I wanted one so bad. Then we could connect our computers with other computers in other cities and play more games for example. We knew there were tons more information options when you had a modem. We weren't sure exactly what they were but we wanted to explore the unknown.

About that time our grandpa bought a modem and we were able to experiment with it. I giggle now remembering the size of the modem, how you had to hand dial the number with your telephone and then when you heard the fax like sound of the other computer answering on the line you had to stick your phone on the modem so your own computer could hook up. The things you could actually do when you hooked up compared to now were limited. It was all quite rudimentary. But the idea was revolutionary.

Now only a little over 20 years later it is almost crazy to behold that so many people have a computer in their home and use it religiously to communicate, research, work, play, etc...
