Goaliegirl and goaliemom got matching webcams and skype last week and I had the fun of watching them figure it out. Reminded me of the old “cone of silence” gag from Get Smart the first couple of calls while one or the other was trying to get the audio turned on while they could only see the other one.

They seem to have it down now and yes, the video does get some lag, but it is definitely a good (read that free) thing to have for boarding school.

Her new roomate (old Korean roomy is now a proctor in the frosh dorm) is from Germany and is a regular user calling home overseas.
