My Digital Obsession by The Digichick design team

journaling:
The first time I saw him, not just the words he typed, but actually the man typing them, it was a tiny black and white photograph next to a short bio on a website he helped create. Though less than two centimeters square on my screen, it made me smile. After some time, he sent more recent pictures from his webcam. They weren't very good quality, but they were larger and in color. The pictures I sent him weren't any better, since all I had was a castoff webcam a friend had replaced. It didn't even have a stand anymore. Next came video chats, which took some effort to get working. The only software we could find that worked on both our computers, cameras, and connections had a one-hour time limit, so we would change the clocks on our computers to trick it into lasting longer. Sometimes we talked so long, he would see the sunrise before we disconnected. It was tricky dealing with a seven-hour time difference and our work/university schedules.
