The Digital Child

I have what I think is a humorous story. My son likes me to rent "intense" videos for me to watch by myself, when he's not with me. I told him about The Matrix (Revolutions) and he asked "what is it about?" I told him "Well, hmmm, it's about humans fighting computers. It's sort of a weird story." He replied "Google doesn't like that." Now, I know he is part of the digital era, for sure! For you social workers out there, no need to worry, we read a lot and stick to the basics also!

Amber Alerts

Some of you may have noticed the Amber Alert news feed at the top of this page. Obviously, news of the abduction of another child is not something that is easy to stomach, but it is vitally important that this information be disseminated to the widest audience possible. I hope you find this to be a helpful addition to my site.

On a Lighter Note

Has anyone seen American Idol and the grand finale last week? It was great! I never watched the show before this season and now I am hooked. Our new American Idol is Carrie Underwood. Personally, I find her down-to-earth, sweet personality to be a refreshing alternative to the many pre-packaged and synthetic recording artists out there. Watch for her to have great success in the future. You can check out my Carrie Underwood news blog called CarrieNEWS.com.
