This is my son Jacob’s first crack at mastering the GIMP.

I’m working at home today. As usual, my son Jacob is looking over my shoulder.

He really likes playing flash games at PBS Kids. I have the flashblock extension installed on Firefox to make browsing the web more nag-free. As a result of the flashblock, Jacob has learned (wrongly) that behind every “click-2-flash” is a kids game. The only thing more annoying then viewing flash ads is being asked repeatedly to click them.

“Dad, can you click that?”

“Don’t you like games?”

“Can you *please* click that?”

“Dad, can I play now?”

“Are you ever going to click that?”

My dad sat at my computer and sent this IM to my brother Jordan:

Hi, this is Gary. This is my first message that I have ever sent. It could very well be my last one also. Roger-out good buddy.

I was kinda happy and sad at the same time. The worlds we live in can seem so different.

This is easily the most worthless day of the year to surf the Internet.

P.S. Happy birthday mom. I love you!
