We had dinner in my cousins' house in Valle Verde 5. My parents just returned from a trip in Spain (they're ardent Ignatians and went on a pilgrimage, following the footsteps of St. Ignatius himself). They wanted to show my tito and tita what they saw, and luckily my cousin had a projector. It was a simple matter of connecting it to my dad's laptop and pointing it to an empty wall.
What struck was how gadgetized everything seemed to be. While my dad was running the show, I went around, taking pictures with my cousin's digicam. Within minutes, I uploaded the pictures onto my laptop through the built-in card reader, wrote this entry, and posted everything, even before the "lecture" was over.
I know everything done here is nothing new. But seeing everything work together like they did made me feel such a tech lifestyle guy. :-)

If this was a personal blog, then I'd be somehow, remotely impressed. BUT, this is a tech magazine's blog; and you, yourself, said it -- "[it']s nothing new."
Point taken, and sorry. I've just started writing in this blog, and I'm still trying to strike balance between being over-personal and generic sterility. :-)
Well, on my part, I still can't get over the fact that my mom actually learned to text on a mobile phone. I could have sworn that this would have been totally impossible. But she finally did... after sending so much garbage first, heheh...
Haha, in a way, my mom still does. She usually fails to check if her words are properly interpreted by predictive text. So I always get a message saying "How are you sham?" (SHAM=RICO).
Interesting bit on the Ignatian Pilgrimage. Did they go to the Basque region in particular? Nope this is not a religious comment as apposed to the blogs techie tone.
