I used to do everything that I could to help my dad out, as far as tech stuff is concerned. I've set up his computers, address books, blog, etc. Now he finally learned how to send MMS messages on his phone, and I get one every day.

This is the one he sent me this morning (the video is about a minute long)...

YouTube - Parents and Technology

Anyone else's parents (or grandparents) getting into tech? I've seen tons on YouTube, and God knows I get more than my share of forwards and Emails about the weather from my grandfather.

HA! Was that a joke or did he actually lose control?

No, it was a joke. We were all telling him to be careful on his trip because there were two really bad wrecks on that stretch of interstate recently. The video was 50% being smart aleck, 50% showing off his newly-acquired MMS talents. He's been sending a video every other day or so to the whole family.
