My dad, Rodli Pederson, (who is 68) has always been interested in technology. He lives in North Dakota and has been making all kinds of awesome short videos and posting them on Revver.

Some highlights include:
* Ancient Robot War (and sequels!) - which is a video he made with these little metal wind up robots that he's had since he was a little boy - now set to the music of 2001: The Space Odyssey
* There's one up there right now about Barrel Racing, shot live at the ND Winter Show rodeo
* Several travel videos - interviewing fellow passengers on Amtrak and at a winery when he came to the Bay Area to visit me.
He makes these on his Mac and really works hard to pick some fun music and sfx for each one.
Also he is on Skype and other IM, he's on Facebook, he's an accomplished traveler (rode his bike through Europe in 1959 and taught English in Saudi Arabia in the 60s).
He's been interested in home computing since the 80s - we had a Tandy Color Computer and later an Amiga before he ever bought a Windows-compatible computer or a Mac.
I could spend hours looking at Mount Rainer and the freighters from many lands from my sister's deck. My father, Alton John Pederson, also spent hours viewing the ships in the harbor.
