iChat
So, I realize this means that trend-wise I've just caught up with geeky twelve-year-olds from five years ago, but I've just recently tried the 'instant-messaging' style communication (i.e. iChat for OS X in my case; at least one other person in the conversation below was using AIM, I think). All I can say is, NEAT. It's probably a sign of advancing age, but I get a real kick out of being able to type in real time with two friends in Chicago, one in southern Indiana, and one in South Korea.
As always, it's not quite the same as being there, but it sure beats a five-minute phone call every six weeks or so.
Anyway, go see the Kraftwerk web site. For those who don't know: Kraftwerk are arguably among the most important fathers of Techno/Electronica. They're who you're making fun of when you mutter abut "time to danse ahn Schprockets" and do the Robot. Their site is fun. Little interactive performance arts and a couple of weird-ass videos, and general wackiness.
