Last night I had my first video chat with Patrick of Prosperfahey.com. The picture above is the very last second of the conversation. I told him I was going to blog about it and I wanted to capture a picture. We both looked like crap hot men (although he looked much better then I). He didn't want me to capture a picture so just at the last second he hit pause and left the screen. It was pretty funny. As you can see, I'm laughing. Anyway, it started when I was on AOL and got an IM from Patrick. He said to switch to iChat. We've been e-mailing and IMing for months but haven't connected on video yet so I did and the video came right up. It was very cool. I've had the iSight camera for quite a long time but have never used it to chat with anyone. Patrick is on the opposite side of the country from me but has become a pretty good friend in the blog world. We talk about web stuff, Mac stuff, and life in general. I consider him the iMovie guru. He creates amazing iMovies and knows how to present them so well on his web site. I love checking out his movies and catching up with what's going on in his and his partner's life with their son. Our video chat was really cool. I guess it's the first time I've “met” a blogger. Because it was real time and moving video and sound, it was like he was just in the next room. We chatted about what we were up to this summer, things we're working on, life challenges, what Nathan is up to (he had his time on camera too), and just your basic daily BS. It was a very fun chat and we'll have to do it again sometime soon. If you haven't checked out his site you should. He does amazing things with iMovie.

Patrick: after reading this, go take a shower!
