Taking a big Web 2.0 step--joining Facebook

I have taken a big Web 2.0 step. At the urging (and downright pressuring) of my 9 brothers and sisters, I have finally joined Facebook. We are having our first family reunion this summer since our parents died--it will be in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, near where my sister Leni lives. Leni set up an Ede Family Reunion group on Facebook, and I am now part of it.

I've only been on Facebook a day, but it's definitely been an interesting experience. The best thing is that somehow some former students and colleagues and found and "friended" me. It's wonderful to learn what they've been up to.
