I filmed this video with my dad on Christmas day from my iPhone (recorded via FlixWagon and uploaded to YouTube).

My dad, in case you weren’t already aware, is an incredibly interesting man who has taught me alot about life, but even more about Apple. Did you know that as a young child he used me as a guinea pig to test the original Mac ($2500 and 128k) because he wanted to write a piece of educational software? We chat about that, but we also talk about iPhones, Twitter, and some of the history behind the origins of the Apple brand (from his perspective as a software engineer at the time). If you can get past the shakiness of the video, you might really enjoy his perspective and learn a few things about why I love Apple products so much.

It feels like forever since the last one, I can't wait!!! Now I've got to get new business cards, for the consulting biz I started.

Similarities I just discovered between you and me:

- Relatives in Chula Vista (for me, mom and stepdad - I went to CVHS)
- Parents were early home computer users (my mom brought home a Kaypro in '81 and has been a programmer since '64)
- We were ID'd as computer whizzes as children (sounds like an "Alias" storyline!)

Differences

- No Macs for me! PC all the way. Tried to install Apple TV and instantly threw up - coincidence or stomach flu, you might say, but I don't know!

Anyway, enjoyed this very much!

Thanks for the comment Peg! I really enjoyed making the video and didn't even realize that I was my dad's little beta tester. :)

I think the Apple TV incident was just a coincidence, but I do hope you're feeling better.
