Had a very short but enjoyable video chat with Brenda in Austin, Texas. She showed me that her flight itinerary was all set for her December visit to southern California. Disneyland on my birthday with Brenda. Nice present.

First Facebook Video Chat

Short Video Chat A La Brenda
Noticed my friend Brenda was available on gmail, took a chance on video chat calling her and it paid off with a brief but enjoyable call where we could see each other from 1,300 miles away. The neck brace was just to help her posture while on the computer. Made me sit up straighter.

Post-Gift Birthday Video Chat
Had a nice, long, sometimes silly birthday video chat with Brenda. First one in a long time. She loved the canvas print of Musashi, laughed at the cowboy birthday video and wondered about the birthday song video. It all went according to my plan.

Dining In The Modern Age
Blathered away with my niece on our cell phones as I watched her on a live webcam while she stood in line with her friends outside a restaurant here in San Diego. Unorthodox video chat.

Video Chat With The Tapias and Guests
Had a video chat with the Tapias as well as AdriAne and her daughter Jillian. We tried to come up with names for a cupcake business that nobody else has parked for websites. Towards the end the names ended up turning out quite adult in nature.

Two Different Video Chats With Rodrigo
Video chatted with Rodrigo using Google Chat first and then Skype to compare them. Google Chat had less lag and better quality, but Skype let us share screens where we swapped desktops. Very cool feature.
