Yeah, AOL...I never thought I'd say that.

Technology amazes me. This week I've spoken twice to Matt Snead in China over instant messenger. Just a couple of taps on a keyboard, a pressed ENTER key and instanteously he reads my message in Tianjin. Amazing. I feel like a dork. This must be what those first users of the toilet felt. Ironic too considering he's using "America Online" in a communist country.

These photos of the Snead family Christmas were too cool not to post. Captions courtesy of Snead.

With two of apartment complex's repairmen at party--Matt is friends with guy on the right.
