More evidence that I’m addicted to the internet:
This weekend Kathryn and I played backgammon via Skype—the internet phone program. Normally something like this wouldn’t mean much as we live three hours apart, but in this particular instance we were both sitting in her living room. Rather than using one computer, or *gasp* a real life board, we chose to send our information to who-knows-how-far-away while we sat not four feet apart with her at her computer and myself at my laptop. As if that wasn’t bad enough, I had to use a webcam to see her face because my back was toward her. With the computers so close, there was too much feedback to actually communicate via Skype, so at least we were talking to each other over the short distance. Otherwise, the whole situation may have gotten ridiculous.

May have?

The use of a webcam makes me think this was strip backgammon.
Really, what else do you use webcams for?

Internet, eh? What is this Internet you speak of?
