This article (http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/112952/family-that-tweets-wsj?mod=family-kids_parents) from the Wall Street Journal talks about a family that has taken tech to the extreme. They have multiple blogs and tweet all day long. Our family has not taken tech to the same extreme but they do their part to contribute to the collective social publication of thoughts, ideas and images. Chris has two blogs http://stinger503.blogspot.com/ and http://geocachetribune.blogspot.com/. Sarah has a youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/sarahsilver2. Jen posts her artwork on her facebook page. There are the requisite levels of activity on facebook and twitter.

Predates the social networking explosion by a few years but displays the intriguing aspect of it that makes it enticing to many people ... as anonymous and safe as you want it to be. I have admired Tom Hanks' work since Big. He followed that with Apollo 13, The Green Mile and many others. It is one thing to be prolific but to be prolific with a high degree of quality is much more rare. It is a romantic comedy so there are no revelations here, no plot twists, no academy awards but the performances are warm and endearing. Not a bad way to spend a lazy afternoon with someone close to you. My rating B.
