Things have been nutso around here but I just read about this and it might be a cool way to stay in touch with the familia, hmmm.
ooVoo is software that allows users to communicate face to face over the internet with people all over
the world. ooVoo is a great way to connect with up to six friends, family, and colleagues at a time and with a high quality video and audio experience. Organize a family get-together, share breaking news, or heckle your friends during your favorite sporting event.
It’s easy. - http://www.oovoo.com
