So I wrote this: The Internet's 99 Greatest Hits and sent it to my mom. It is a short article about viral Internet trends, most of which are youtube videos. Here is our email exchange regarding said article (FYI, my answers were short because I was at work and in the middle of something):

The 99 greatest Internet Music Hits are really because your Mom went and bought a bunch of girlie "Pop" Cds 2 weeks ago without knowing that they were "Pop" and not "Rock", right???? Thanks for the tips, Love You. take care, MOM (PS: could you make me a music CD of these 99 since I don't have an ipod thingey and would have to buy 99 CDs???? Today, I am in contemplation of the Obama "R-epression" and wondering if I should be washing and reusing my Ziplock bags!!)

They're not 99 songs, they're 99 videos. I can't put them on a CD for you...just go to the website and click on the links.

Oh, music videos? I don't care about those. (In those-You young people all look like "kids" to me.Dancing around and emoting all over the place.) Maybe I'll listen to the non country ones sometime, though. Thanks, Love, MOM

NO. they have nothing to do with music!!!
Sorry it's not the pony express but I don't own a horse. Can't tell you how proud I am to know somebody who writes for Time magazine. Even better than knowing a writer for the NY Times. (No names but think "Beatles".) I was just reading an article in my print edition, got to the bottom and thought "hey, I used to know that person". So congratulations on the job. Can you get me one? 8-)
