Well, not much activity on the blog--it's been busy! Once this is up and going, and the rest of the staff are comfortable with it, I think it would be pretty neat to create a class for seniors on how to set up their very own blog. (I'm pretty sure anyone who thinks the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is better than the original has one already. Isn't is now mandatory, when a baby is born they automatically get a hotmail account and a page on Facebook? I dunno...)
It would be a great way for seniors who normally wouldn't be interested in technology and who can't get around to form their own interest groups and interact with others.

Babies get everything nowadays...I mean if they can be given licenses to own guns. *rolls eyes* :)
And I think your idea of blogging classes for seniors is great! But would that mean we'd have to offer an "Introduction to the Computers" class too? Haha. Pretty soon, we'd have to offer an entire computer series for seniors! Seriously though, I'd love to get involved if we ever do anything.
Doesn't everyone think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is better than the original?
Blogging for seniors--a great idea. I mean, really, now that their kids are gone, who are they going to lecture? Seriously, though, there's a whole new learning curve after retirement. My mom and in-laws are almost as PC savvy as my kids.
Speaking of . . . this morning my son barged into my room and chided me for not 'bookmarking' his avatar. (I made my 23 things avatar with my kids as a fun game--now Ethan has to 'dress' his avatar every morning before school. I am so not kidding) I reminded him that he was 5 and where had he learned the term 'bookmarking?' He looked at me as if I was crazy. "Technology."
(The boy can't even use layman's terms like Computers) I again explaining his age. He then asked me to iron his jeans. (My husband assured me 'iron my jeans' is not some hip 2.0 lingo, by the way) I said no and Ethan said, "Okay, I'll do it," and reached for the iron. So, in conclusion, children know all about computers and apparently how to call their parent's bluffs.
Still, back on the subject, proud grandparents would love to learn about Flickring their families, too:)
